Why old draft should come back
So the big goal thing about the new draft system for ranked is that you are guarenteed 1 of two roles that u like.
You have your main preference, and your secondary preference.
However some major problems have happened as a result.
1-Challenger level long que times for people who aren't even plat. (the ten minutes aren't a myth)
2-People giving up on the support role
Details
1-If you are not even in plat, que times should never be longer than 6 minutes, this is absolutely absurd, I am waiting the same level of time that old challengers used to wait, without even being freaken challenger. Some people go "if you really love a game, you will be paitent". YES THIS IS TRUE. However why would i wait 10 minutes for league, when i love other games JUST AS MUCH that don't require me to wait. Now you can see why I would be tempted to turn off league and just turn on another game after 7 minutes of waiting.
2-It is a blantent fact if you put support as your secondary role, their is a high chance you will never get your main role, and just be slammed into support every time. Now this is a major problem for a few reasons.
-It discourages people who REALLY DO MAIN support as a SECONDARY role to no longer chose support -It discourages people from choosing support who like to try out a variety of roles.
Now here is my arguement in why the new draft pick changes almost nothing
So in the old way, if you were in the top 2 or 3 people to pick a champion you were almost guaranteed your main role the only time you had to question if you were gonna get your role is if you were in the bottom 2. Than I also know many people who main support as a secondary role, so if that guy was in the bottom two, he would almost never complain about not getting the primary role, and often easily say "ill just do support". Lets also not forget fill players who are more than happy to chose any role the team need.
So what was the point of the new system?
To encorage people to get what they are best at?
With how the new way works, que times are super long, most the times we get our secondary role, and very rarely do we get our primary.
So with that said, the new system is actually exactly the same as the old system, except it is worse in the terms, it discourages the ability to ask teamates to trade roles with you, it destroys any form of possibly democracy in getting roles, and it just makes hella long que times, while discouraging people to chose support, making the support player base, even smaller.
My thoughts?
Just go back to the old system while keeping the new graphics. At leaste than we didn't have to wait a million years just to play a single normals game.
