It was stated in the Patch Notes for 6.1
New champ select is coming to Ranked Draft.
The new champ select experience will be enabled for Ranked Draft later this patch! We're starting with tests in NA and TR on January 14. If everything goes well, we'll continue to roll out new champ select in other territories over the following days. A few key details of the system are listed below; make sure to head back to the 2016 Season Update site for an in-depth overview.
When new champ select launches, devs will be on the boards to gather feedback and track known issues. Let us know what you think!
POSITION SELECT Teammates each select two positions they'd like to play (top, jungle, mid, bottom, support, fill) in the lobby
POSITION ASSIGNMENT Once a match is found, new champ select assigns each teammate a position
PICK INTENT Teammates have an opportunity to highlight the champion they want to play before picks and bans
BANS Teammates assigned to third, fourth and fifth pick will each ban one champion
LOCK IT IN Bans and picks must be locked in. Hovering doesn't count! Failing to lock in a ban or pick will result in a dodge with a time penalty.
Lastly, the launch of new champ select marks Team Builder's retirement. New champ select is a better answer to many of the problems we were trying to solve with Team Builder, so we're opting to replace Team Builder rather than having both queues exist together.
GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE When new champ select launches, Team Builder will be retired
