So when exactly were punishments for people leaving Team Builder Queue's going to take effect?

I don't think they ever will. Riot claimed they'd be active this season but it doesn't seem like these people get any punishment or extended recess from Team Builder.

As a Team Captain it's hard to get into a game using Team Builder for the BETA or otherwise when people are allowed to come in, see if they don't like the party, and then exit on a whim because we didn't have every single player when they got in. It elongates the process when they quit and makes queue's longer than they should be. I would like to know what the current penalties are to consistently leaving Team Builder queues?

I'll admit that sometimes when I want to play support I'll go through 5-10 games looking for a team comp that suites my champ/playstyle. I believe everyone should have that option just because if I had to stay with the first team I'm matched up with, I will not enjoy the game as much. If they implement a system so that if you have to stay with a certain group, then team leaders shouldn't be able to kick people out that they feel are trolling.

This is already present. If you leave enough teams it will start making you wait before you are allowed to queue up again.

If someone is looking for a particular matchup (e.g. someone else already mentioned being a support and wanting a particular ADC), not allowing them to leave doesn't help. They will just not ready up and you'll be stuck waiting even longer. You might as well get rid of them quickly so you can get another player in there sooner.

It's also a supply/demand thing with supports and, to a lesser extent, junglers and ADCs. If you're queued as support/jungle you will get another team in like 3 seconds most of the time, so if you're not thrilled with the one you're placed on or it doesn't fill quickly there isn't much incentive to stay.

If you want to get into a match really fast, play Blind or Draft. Part of what Team Builder is for is to let players be picky about their teammates if they want to.
