I played a few Champ Select games. Now though, it seems to have gone back to the old way... anyone else getting this?

We're just investigating some technical issues which required us reverting the changes temporarily. Keep an eye on that ticker in the upper right-hand corner for updates!

Please bring back team builder.

They will later with this format...but a bit different. If anything this champ select is ten times better then Team Builder ever could/would be.

No it's not. Please bring back team builder.

they need as many people as possible to play this mode so they can get feedback and improve it.

They took team builder and tried to fix the problems with it, being that it picked from a seperate table of people that made it take longer, that you had to have everything selected first instead of working a bit with your team, and that the captain had the last word and anyone that questioned it could either suck it up or leave.

I've seen plenty of people that get the captain mark and act like they own the place. "Should have kicked this Yi." "God why did I allow this horseshit." Those are just a couple of quote's I've seen.

At this rate, I fear how dreadful the new client experience will be. Everything new you guys ship out, always ends up in a dreadful experience for players the first day or two.

That sounds like every product ever.

Sakaru3 votes

Damn, it's almost as if shipping out something to millions of players is always going to present new issues that they couldn't have possibly tested completely internally, or on PBE.

Tbh PBE is only for testing skins from what i've heard from other testers.

The amount of bugs that come onto the PBE is funny. No really, it makes games hilarious with some crazy bugs. PBE catches 90% of them, which is why you don't have cinderhulk accidentally doing 10 (or 100?) times the amount of passive damage it usually does. For like a day or two the PBE was just full of full cinderhulk teams that you could sit in a team fight and get a penta. Be glad PBE is there :P its not just for skins.

And what about Champions? What about Azir? Fiora? Ryze? Who prevented that bs from happening. I saw the PBE Boards before Fiora was released and everyone was begging that she would be nerfed.

can you tell us what happened?

Archer Drakul1 votes

idk if this was the reason, but I had 3 games in a row 'freeze' at the end of the timer for the first pick. Just sat there could talk in chat and nothing for like 5 mins when I finally exited

Alchemist Prime4 votes

Actually, now that you mentioned it, I remember coming across this in the PBE. As well as a number of people.

Abracadaba2 votes

After this whole time, you guys still managed to deploy a buggy solution. Very Impressive.

3 hours later...any update?

Does this include enabling Chroma packs in the modes skin select?

Please continue 'investigating' for another season

Those Beyond5 votes

Yeah, I think they pulled it , an there are a whole bunch of morans complaining about it not being better, when in actual fact that it is.

Steelflame2 votes

Actually, tons of people are crashing out of it. Me included. Soooo.... yea. Has nothing to do with it being better/worse gameplay wise than the old one, and the fact tons of people are having League freeze on them during it.

Impiety3 votes

yes. the same. Played two games with it and now its completely gone.

Billiphied3 votes

The problem was that people were in queue for over 15 minutes

Calabok3 votes

Remove secondary selection pick for some that play 1 char and 1 role

Arsenic Sulfur1 votes

Your problem. Not the queues. In the words of Cranky Kong, git gud.

Dreadlocks2 votes

Yessir

Professor Donger2 votes

because riot decided to fuck everyone

Rudasaurus Rex2 votes

Yup. Seems like a lot of people, including myself, were bugged from even queuing up in the new way. Wonder if this is a temporary switch back

TheEvilQueen1352 votes

i mean i was spending a long time in queue... and some of my friends were dealing with bugs.

kintos2 votes

its better its just that people dont rtfm and lock in or troll by dodging. last night on PBE i got stuck grouping with a guy who would insta ban jhin, someone would dodge, requeue, same guy bans jhin rinse repeat for an hour.

New champs have been banned by noobs for the first month since the beginning of time.

People are lazy and stupid. Why learn a new champ or how to play against them when you can ban them instead.

Arsenic Sulfur1 votes

I problem with it is that I'm worried about them... ON MY TEAM! "Hurr hurr, X is broken on release, I'm gonna first time him in ranked and acquire freelo" One ass-whoping later "OMG! X is useless as shit! I didn't win with him first time I played him in ranked"

ChocadillyDoo2 votes

Ah, here's an update. Apparently too many people playing caused some server malfunction or something.

How does this happen? Wasn't it tested for a while? I didnt get a chance to try it out but looking forward to it.

Sythriel Draken1 votes

Considering several people were getting stuck in the champion selection process, I can see them turning it off while they fix their shit...

HamManMS1 votes

yea i think its cause so much people were on it cause when i played my first and only game with it, it was a 0 second wait time

Angels Trumpets1 votes

Please fix New Queues soon. I was enjoying it. =[

Angels Trumpets1 votes

Do y'all have even a rough eta for re-enabling the new queues?

Angels Trumpets1 votes

o-o honestly, if you're playing in a ranked environment you should be past being a one-trick pony. So the Primary/Secondary should both feel comfortable.

3Power2 votes

TB wasn't ranked, and not wanting to play a role isn't the same as being unable.

HamManMS1 votes

its temporary theysummoner 13 should fix it by tomorrow

Calabok1 votes

Disregarding ranked, other players that only like 1 char, 1 role, would like this setting back. NO secondary requirement

Arsenic Sulfur1 votes

That is THEIR problem, not this queue. If you can't play anything/anywhere else, you're bad and shouldn't even touch ranked. You should be able to play at least 3 roles/champions. Even if you're bread V.

It should have stayed reverted, it's awful and manipulative
