I really miss Team Builder :(

TB was such a great aspect of the game, and among a lot of things, is one that I'm still mad at Riot for removing. It was so cool to build your own team, and also helped keep negativity/toxicity down about picking something off meta to play. I loved making my own team and being able to choose who I wanted to play with, and on the flip side, choosing something fun but not really meta, and having someone pick me was amazing. Like pre-rework Sejuani support, or Zyra jungle, etc.

Taking TB out was a huge mistake, Riot, in my opinion. Not only did you take something fun and creative out of the game, but you upset a lot of players, and you continue to do so with your completely questionable choices (Galio rework, Runes Reforged, buffing absurdly OP champions and nerf batting one who don't need it or just nerfing ones already in a bad shape, etc).

Please bring it back. Give us something to start repairing our trust in you, Riot. I'm sure you see all the posts and complaints about what you've done this season. **Please, bring it back. **

there are lots of things that are like "hidden" good as in like not a lot of people have the balls to try it out because at a glance it seems trollish but in actuality the pick is actually pretty solid and kickass even.

Brand Jungle is pretty good because he DECIMATES jungle mobs with his passive TahmKench Top is actually one of the best duelist in the game. He outduels literally any melee champ that dares to slug it out with him in melee range even Tryndamere, tank Garen or Darius. His W also gives him decent wave clear. Just make sure to take either Hail of Blades or Lethal Tempo rather than tanky runes. Nocturne is really good at mid. He pushes fast and is kinda a natural soft counter to mages thanks to his W. Post 6 you can just face dive your opposition or roam bot/top/jungle. Vedius made a video on it but still people prefer taking him jungle RekSai top is actually pretty good. She has great sustain from passive is a solid duelist early on. She wont win you a game or anything but its a interesting pick that can definitely catch people off-guard Mordekaiser mid is pretty cheesy. just hard push the wave with W every time making sure to face tank opponents poke using your overshield and healing to bypass. If need be stop by raptor camp and W that to recover some quick HP. What makes morde mid good is really just that he pushes obnoxiously hard early and causes the opposing laner to lose CS to tower or give up resources trying to last hit. Hit 6 and roam bot for a kill then use the ghost to take dragon then use DRAGON ghost to push a lane while you go b. Its really great strategy. LeeSin as a solo top fighter is pretty nasty. Take Ravenous Hunter and Bloodline then abuse your W to basically sustain perpetually. Your'e still Lee Sin so of course once you hit 6 you should be looking to kick someones head off.

I will agree with Tahm, Noct, Lee, and maybe Rek if you arent against a good laner. Mord mid is meh at best and Brand jg???? I think that'll be awful but ill try it when i get home. I am lvl 7 mastery brand from Supporting mostly but also some mid in S6 and 7

I’ve done brand jungle before. He falls behind quickly early, has difficulty trading, and relies on the lanes to set up ganks. It’s doable, but easily countered and not worth the effort

It is pretty easy to trade....i played it 4 times in the last 2 days and not lost yet. i know brand like the back of my hand though....i have 250k xp on the champ

I remembered when the champion mastery levels first came out, I got Zyra to level 6 just from playing her jungle and some mid lane. Man, those were fun games back in the day.

Alot of people despised TB but me? I made alot of friends in that mode Alot of friends that no longer play due to them disagreeing with all these changes.

Outta 200? round that number. ahem 200 people i met in season 5 i only still have 2 on my friends list 1 of which was perma banned "Kelvinwop" and now goes under another username though he very rarely plays. The other friend became distant once he got into gold though we still talk and "Rito pls" alot of stuff but we dont really game together anymore.

I'm all for bringing back TB*[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]*

You were able to get into a game without getting flamed for picking a champion, because everyone could just say "nope" and leave or kick you from the group

Smite Squads: may not have always worked but god damn was it fun to siphon hope of the opposing team's inevitable trying Jungler and throw the map in discord.
