Alright Riot, Draft > Blind
In an ideal world, we’d like to retire normal draft in all regions
you can't spend this ENTIRE season preaching about how you want to encourage teamwork and playing with/meeting new friends in league when you
a) START the season by removing the mode that already allowed you to do that (teambuilder) and b) END the season by removing the next-best-thing (Draft) where you can actually choose a role you specialize in for these treasured "teams" that you want
This is ridiculous! The only place for premades to play now is DQ, which I guess you guys wanted so you could stat-pad it to claim how popular it is later in the season, but we won't be fooled. You've removed every single other freaking option in the game for this group of players. Oh what, you want them to use Blind Pick to practice instead of jumping into ranked? Please, that is basically the equivalent to the Memes & Games corner here on the boards, where players screw around and you aren't even guaranteed your preferred role.
Draft actually provides a setting similar to ranked to give experience to players and allow them to warm up and actually practice...Blind has nothing. So why...just why would you remove Draft instead of Blind Preach your teamwork and promotion for friends all you want, your actions only show that you just want your DQ, oh sorry, Flex Queue to not fail.
And yes, I know it's not being removed (yet) from the larger servers like NA but to say that they'd like to is an extra dose of stupid from Riot
Note for the poll: TB = TeamBuilder
