Rito pls...no seriously, PLEASE BRING BACK TEAM BUILDER!!!

Legend Mantis··6 votes·691 views

Honestly Rito, I really like the new draft mode. Its great, it really is. I like the idea of being able to go into a ranked game with a role in mind, it makes the experience better, wonderful. But seriously, for the love of god...BRING BACK TEAM BUILDER!!! Its really unfair to those who just want to play league casually. It was great being able to have the freedom to say "this is the champ I want, this is the role I want, PLAIN AND SIMPLE! Sure, in some cases you might have had to wait a little bit longer, but it was ok! because you could put yourself in a game almost exactly how you wanted! But now...well, for example I wanna play Mundo top...well guess what...I either play the draft, where Mundo is basically permabanned...or I go to blind pick where everybody tries to lock in as quick as possible and before the games even started, the whole team is arguing about their picks. The only way to ensure I get to play the champion and role I want is to play a bot game, and that is flat out boring! So rito, please just give us back team builder! It made things so much easier! The new draft is nice, but please just accept that we liked team builder (most of us) and just leave it alone

Yes, if it is a change for the negative. In this case a loss of being able to queue for the exact position and champion you wanted.

I can see where this is coming from. For an off-meta playground, it can be nice to have this kind of queue. The problem is that there can only be so many game modes or else the queues will never be full enough for anyone to actually play. So if something gets the axe, the contest is between Team Builder and basic Blind Pick. It would be weird not to have blind pick, but it's also the most conflict-prone pick mode, so I don't know.

Thing is millions of people play this game and if team builder was as unpopular as people say it was them removing it and those same players going to other modes wouldn't really effect those other modes in terms of search time if the comparison in player bases were so off like people suggest. Also why didn't they replace blind pick with something similar to team builder without bans? Overall it didn't have to be removed I found games on it fairly fast. I tell you this I started an average team builder game well before I start ranked or draft with all the time it takes to pick and ban. And people dodge a lot also. Many team builder games I had started in under 5 minutes playing top lane and this is 10+ minutes all the time. I think it was a very good addition to ranked and draft but the update could of came out while keeping team builder since team builder is so much different. No picks or bans which I personally don't like them and speeds up the lobby time vastly. I personally am way better top but still a noob than any other gamemode and I'd home my skills on one that try and practice multiple if the option is available. Team builder was many people's favorite that didn't like the competiveness of ranked and draft well for me at least and got to play what they wanted. Could even of reworked team builder to be like the new dynamic queue where you search for a role and its still blind and then you pick your champion. Also the new queue should be updated where you can choose 1 role and it will take longer to find a game but you can choose an optional secondary to speed up the queue times. Even if only in lower ranks it would benefit a lot. Personally I had much more fun in team builder than blind draft or ranked by far since when I wanted to play something I got that something first game.
