Fellow summoners, this has gone too far. We all miss the greatness that is Team Builder and WE WANT IT BACK

Help bring TEAM BUILDER back by posting here and letting RIOT know how Amumu we all are about the removal of Team Builder!

Team builder was and still is the best queue they ever put out for getting a single champion. Why they removed it without at least seeing how much traffic it got is beyond me

ScarlettWrath2/10/2016, 3:58:23 PM19 votes

This new queue system leaves too many opportunities for trolls. You select a champion before the bans come up, and your own team mates ban said champion just because they can. Also, the probability of getting your first picked roll... Not very high. I've gone 6 games in a row where I played my secondary, which I don't complain about until there's a specific champion I want to play who's indigenous to a roll. Team builder was amazing, if someone didn't like your comp they found another team, even if the wait times were longer. I'm willing to wait if we could have the option of team builder and this new queue system.

Teambuilder was just perfect for people that actually have a real life job and maybe just time for one game per day. If you want to play a certain champ in said game, you will have a hard time to do so ... Riot just does not care at all

Riot doesn't care about the player base right now. Just doing what they want.

TB was great and should have been replaced with a new version when dynamic q came out. They lied about the new version of TB (solo q - that name isn't confusing at all), saying it would be out a few weeks after dynamic q, but it isn't. They are busy fixing bugs in dynamic q that should have been fixed during PBE testing. Now NOW I cannot get my main role because for some reason everyone wants to play JG right now. I am getting my secondary role, mid or top, more than my primary role. FFS thanks for forcing me to dodge more.

Oh just go play blind pick.... cant get JG there either. My fat fingers are too slow.

I spent hours playing on TB in the JG and now have been forced to scale that back.

And finally, dynamic Q is too SLOWWWWWWWWWWwwwwWWWWWwwww AND trolly. With TB you saw which champ was being played in each role and could simply leave the Q without a dodge penalty. With dynamic Q if somebody trolls you then you need to dodge = time penalty to play.

So now I am dodging more, which is really frustrating cause I really want to play, and I have spent money on this game so I'm kinda pissed I cannot play the role I want where I want with the other champ roles I want.

Did I mention Riot doesn't care about paying customers?

FFS stop trolling us and bring back TB or move some devs off of hextech or some other needless crap to develop the new SOLO Q.

That song said it all for me. I want to play what I want. Teambuilder was perfect for that.

My friends and I despise not having team builder. We loved being able to choose where we could go. We all like pretty much the same roles so we just put it in a round and got to que fairly. Now it's all up to random chance.

Here's a scenario that actually happened, with numbers representing myself and friends

  1. Top Mid
  2. Jungle Support
  3. Mid Bot Myself 4. Support Fill

Que

  1. Top
  2. Support
  3. Bot Myself 4. Mid Random 5. Jungle

Only one of us got our preferred role. I somehow got mid even though I was fill and 2 people had Mid chosen as a primary and a secondary.

With Team Builder it was much easier (and more fun!) to learn a new champ or sharpen your skills with a champ you'd like to get better with. It's been my experience that Dynamic que rarely gives me my primary lane choice (usually mid). And as a result I'm forced to play a role and/or champ I may not be that good with to avoid feeding and being blamed for trolling. I don't have much free time, so I don't enjoy playing my second choice more often than not. I'd rather spend my time playing the role/champ I enjoy at the moment. RIOT PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU. BRING THE BEST ASPECT OF TEAM BUILDER BACK!

Teambuilder was the best thing introduced to League since URF.

FlashnFuse2/10/2016, 6:55:49 PM6 votes

I can add in some support for teambuilder. It's nice to practice the role/champion you want, and i miss it a lot T_T.

HI IM DAISY 832/11/2016, 12:37:55 AM6 votes

The removal of Team Builder makes practicing specific champions VERY difficult, I would love to see team builder return so that I can finally practice champions without having to worry about my role or if they are picked or banned. I wouldn't mind a long queue time for this, either, as practice is valuable.

Some examples, if you wanted to practice or just play Tahm Kench, Jax, Jhin, or Mundo, you can't with the removal of Team Builder without incredible luck.

Mike170322/11/2016, 5:55:09 AM5 votes

Yep, I hate having to pick two roles.

Team Builder should return for Normals in place of the new system, because it is better in every way. That and Blind are perfect for normals, because sometimes you want to play a specific champ.

For Ranked we should have the option to only pick one role, even if it means we wait longer.

I am simply not interested in learning another role, I won't do it. If the choice is between being forced to learn another role or stop playing, well I have already stopped playing so there is your answer. Trying to be the first to type it in Blind isn't exactly fun either, and just leads to toxic play.

I won't ever start playing again until I can have the role I want, and that means Riot won't see another dime out of me till then.

Nobuyoki2/10/2016, 5:58:04 PM5 votes

I must agree with you man. I don't play LoL as much as I did, nor have the time too. With TeamBuilder, I could play once upon a time the champ I wanted without having problems, now it's not possible. THat makes me sad. Also, I found that the games with the funniest dudes were the team builder ones :D Maybe because everyone played what he wanted.

This year seems to be the year of removing things from the game. Almost makes it seem like Riot is struggling financially.

ItsCalledALance2/10/2016, 3:15:30 PM5 votes

reto dont care. Maybe if Donald Trumps dad gave them a small loan, they would consider it.

SettDownShutUp2/11/2016, 12:54:21 AM5 votes

I. Want to play. Top lane. I don't want to ban, I don't want to fight for the lane! I don't want to hastily choose my champ, type top, lock in, and prey I did it before someone else. I don't want choose 'top' primary and 'support' secondary to always get chosen as support. I don't want 20 minute queues as people putz around with banning selecting humming and hrming just to QUIT AND PUT EVERYONE BACK TO THE QUEUE OH WHOOPS LOOKS LIKE I'M SUPPORT NOW.

I just want team builder back, who did it hurt?

Slitheile132/10/2016, 10:27:07 PM5 votes

Agree Onehundo' percent, I'd like to main a few champions, so I like to play them and only them to get my mechanics on par... Now I have to go blind and be the instalock' jackwagon :/ Feelsbadman

Haven't played Summoner's Rift since Team Builder left. R.I.P. Team Builder, you died too young.

Dynamic queue has been better for some people, and worse for others. I know that it's improved my enjoyment of the game greatly, forcing me out of my comfort zone and thus making the game new and exciting again. It's unfortunate others don't feel the same way.

Teambuilder is the only queue I am interested in, bring it back!

SmilesNSunshine2/11/2016, 12:01:45 AM3 votes

As a support main who's trying to learn new roles, because I don't want to HAVE to support every game so I can actually queue up in less than 10 minutes...

I understand why they took it out. Maybe forcing people to support isn't fair, but it's not fair for support mains to always be stuck supporting because no one else wants to. We have the right to play other roles too. I can't support with Irelia or Akali.

This is weird2/11/2016, 2:09:05 AM3 votes

So now it's: 10 x 35 secs for champ select PLUS 6 x 30 seconds for bans that don't really matter PLUS whatever redundant waits Riot adds in at EVERY STAGE of the game TIMES.... 4 haters who drop cuz Teemo EQUALS ....I miss Warcraft raids

Team builder was actually the shit :/ why is rito removing everything from the game?

yepprettymuch2/11/2016, 5:38:49 AM2 votes

So I queued up and got into 8 groups (lots of dodges so only like 4 games) and out of those 8 matches, I only got my primary role once. ONE. TIME. luckily sometimes people are willing to trade, but why in the world are these options even labeled primary and secondary if you can get secondary MAJORITY of the time. Even when I put mid as secondary and jungle as primary. I'm not saying this to rage or anything. I love league and want it to be the best game it can be. But it is a video game. When I play video games, I want to play what I actually enjoy doing. Please either bring back team builder or at least implement some way to ensure getting your primary almost all of the time. I would rather wait 15 minutes for a game than play a role I don't really feel like playing.
