Teambuilder
Dear Riot,
I like the idea of this new champ select. It brought a fresh gust of wind for the people who liked to play Draft. However, not all of us like to play on draft. This is why I question the choice of removing team builder. For the casual player, team builder was the best thing ever. You could just hop in, choose your champ and role, and you are good. However, now that team builder has been removed, people who don't want to play draft have to go to Blind Pick. There, you have to prime your fingers over the keys so you can type the role you want as fast as possible. Not to mention the trolls who will say something like: "mid or afk!". It honestly doesn't make sense. If you guys want to make it so that the team can choose a team comp, why not make team builder center around that idea? For example, you could just choose the role you want to play, like mid or top, and then search for a game. Once you find a game, your team can then pick and choose what team comp they want. I've heard people say: "Oh well, why don't you just go play the new game mode? It's basically the same thing". Well, I argue that it isn't. In team builder, you were guaranteed to get the role and champion you chose. In this new game mode however, you have to choose 2 roles that you want, and you will almost never get your first priority. Also, people can just ban the champ that you were about to play, which makes it even less fun. I have also made several posts on the page where you announced the new queue, and people there are also asking for team builder to come back. I pretty sure that the community won't mind picking your champions once you get into a team.
Sincerely, Dreathbeast
