If you're going to get rid of Normal Draft

Please increase the amount of time before the game starts in Blind pick. I have an entire champion select in normal draft to set up my mastery page, I don't get that same amount of time when the majority of my time is spent figuring out what I'm going to play in Blind pick

try setting up mastery pages before campion select, considering you can have a shit ton of them so you don't have do that during champion select

Hey folks,

We want to clear up our plans for Normal Draft queues in various regions around the world. Earlier today we announced that we've turned off Normal Draft in every region except for NA, EUW, and BR. Specifically, this means turning it off in EUNE, LAS, LAN, TR, and KR. This didn't affect other regions, where the queue was already inactive.

We caused confusion by saying that "in an ideal world" we'd retire Normal Draft in NA, EUW, and BR. We have no current plans to do so. Ultimately, we would like to take the best aspects of both normal queues (position preference from Normal Draft and less hardcore gameplay/speedy champion select from Blind Pick) into a single queue.

In the regions where Normal Draft was disabled, it had very low participation. Our concern going into the launch of Flex is that having many similar queue options will result in a lot of low quality experiences rather than a few good quality ones.

In other regions where we've already turned off Normal Draft, we'll keep listening to your feedback through the preseason as we start to see how the new queues perform and evaluate based on how healthy things are looking. In the end, we'll customize each region's queue system to best support its players.

I'm just saying, if they do disable it, it would be very appreciated if they made this change. I just did a blindpick last night and I became painfully aware of how little time it actually gives you to choose the optimal runes and masteries I want. Because I was forced to go warlords Jhin, my entire rhythm was thrown off and I ended up feeding.

If they don't disable it, fine. If they do disable it, blindpick is an incredibly poor substitute at the moment

Do you know what the definition of current is? I don't think you do. It means RIGHT NOW. Do you know what saying that they don't have plans to shut it down RIGHT NOW implies? It implies that there is a chance that in the future, they MAY have plans to shut it down. Use a bit of context clues and the brain that you may or may not have been born with, and that becomes obvious to anyone.

They can do that if they want, that's their right. But Blind Pick is not in any fit state to take its place for those who do not play ranked or want to practice in norms
