New Forced Draft pick Champ select.

The new systems has a couple big problems that are causing huge aggravation for me.

-No find another group button anymore. This is actually a very big problem. Now if I get put in a group like I did today where everyone wants to go Vel'Koz I don't get to back out and find a better group due to the strict penalties. This was a very good way to avoid people trying to troll and ruin a fun time. It also doesn't give me the opportunity to find the right team comp for the champion I wanted to play. I often used the old system so that I could pick a certain champion I wanted. Not a position and then just pick any champion. This ability is now almost gone. I am not guaranteed to be able to play a certain champion anymore due to having to pick two positions instead of one and being forced into a draft situation with picks and bans. Which leads into the next two problems.

-Have to pick between two positions. The main deterrent for me and the old normal mode or blind pick was that I Disliked not being guaranteed the one position I wanted to play. This new system is better for que times but it hurts my ability to play casually IMMENSELY because I am forced to play a certain way vs. based on the choice I want at that exact time. It also forces me to enter into a more competitive high stress game vs. just a relaxing play time because of the type of people that usually enter a draft pick game.

-Forced to play draft pick This is also a huge loss for me. I liked being able to pick a champion and spot and just jump into that position. This however not only causes me to lose the ability to pick one spot but also gives many chances at losing the champion I want to play because of draft pick. Draft pick means I can lose the champion to a ban and also lose the champion to another player that wants to play it. This is devastating to me as I used to pick what I was going to play purely based off the champion I wanted to play.

-Why give something new and take away something old? This is the biggest mystery to me. I think the new system is a great improvement over the old draft system but why lose the previous system of Picking a champion and position then just going in game? You could have both just like before. Why take it away at all?

 I have had a lot of frustration over the last day with this new system.  I was even kicked out of a group and told I had a time penalty for someone else leaving and I cued solo.  Please make some changes.

even if just for normals they should allow you to only pick 1 roles and choose 2 roles IF you dont want to wait long this potentally solves both wait times and the issue of wanting your role though less so wait times. but forcing people to do 2 roles may help wait times or like me its has made me play 1/3 of the games i would play before. god forbid i find another good game. Team Builder was so young why kill it just cause noobs impatient

I agree. It's very constricting compared to Teambuilder

its not really more choices if the old choice of having 1 is gone

Yeah. I agree. Feels like they are forcing us into an option they want us to be in instead of adding more options or an updated system.

Teambuilder queue times were always 20+ minutes for me, it was so ridiculous that it wasn't worth playing. I don't think it's unreasonable to learn 2 positions.

Did they get rid of blind pick? Can't you still do that?
