@Riot Please talk to us about this.
A large, large portion of your community has been begging for teambuilder back. I understand why teambuilder was not a good solution for ranked, and I totally agree with it. But please talk to us, and tell us why it had to be completely removed. Some of the things us players missed are:
- The ability to get the champion you wanted 100% certain (and by extension the role)
- The ability to leave without penelty at any point during the building process
- The ability to (if leading) select the champs you want on your team
- The "blind pick" element, where neither side knows what the other is doing (and therefore there is no need to worry about counterpicking)
- Mirror Matchups
The first is definitely the most important. All of these are lacking in dynamic queue, and even if a different version is created for blind-pick replacement, like you guys said, there still will not be a 100% certainty on champions or roles. That is what we miss the most as a playerbase. Please, talk to us about this. You guys have said nothing since the first announcement that TB was going to be removed, other than "It's not right for ranked." We get that. But if such a large playerbase wants TB back, why does it have to remain deleted? Please, can we get some dialogue on this, and a discussion going?
