seriously, i miss being able to try new champions/oddball picks in a enviourment where you knew your team was ok with it, no matter the quere time.
now, such a thing is incredibly rare, and i dare say almost impossible.
still dont get why they removed it
It's no use. We posted hundreds of this kind of threads when it's firstly removed, and we got thousands of replies and upvotes. But Riot will never give a fuck. 90%of the changes they made in this season is just screwing this game further more, so I don't really expect them to do anything smart anymore.
THIS.
Get rid of Blind Pick, replace it with Team Builder. 99% of people who play Blind Pick instalock the champ they want anyway - let's give them a way to do it without pissing off the other 4 people they're stuck with.
And while you're at it, give me a way to play a weird comp with my friends while giving randoms a chance to opt out if they're cowards uncomfortable.
Yea I miss teambuilder alot for practicing, its the only mode where you can pick ONE role and a certain champ and just play. People in teambuilder were generally much nicer human beings as well which is a small plus.
Canceling TB and Dominion and Solo Queue were all tactics to funnel more people into "Dynamic Queue" so Riot could fudge the numbers and then say, "Hey look! We have record breaking queues, matches and a faster paced game. This was a total success!" But when anything becomes "fast" it also loses "quality." Which is why the game is in the shitter atm imo.
I played TB exclusively. Didn't care that I've been Silver for 4 seasons and wasn't honestly interested in ranked. I gave up on that in S4. I played TB because it was hella relaxed, hella fun and it was always a good fun game no matter what kind of weird shit people would try.
Now, I play SMITE, it's different, it's fun (imo anyways) and the toxicity is for sure almost non-exisistant compared to League. I keep up with the League boards, just to maybe see a glimmer of hope of a time lost. I seriously doubt it will ever be a "great" game again. They've lost touch with the community and honestly their egos have blown way out of proportion.
It was a hella good 5 years for me personally playing League. I've queued up a few times only to get half way through it and just change my mind.
Riot puts me in mind of another game company Mythic Entertainment. They had the best RvR game out, Dark Age of Camelot, but instead of focusing on their selling point (RvR, Realm vs Realm) they focused all their efforts in trying to compete with WoW PvE. When DAoC started putting all their focus into PvE (which they horribly sucked at and failed miserably) their RvR became mundane and flat and people just left the game like a ghost town. If Riot isn't careful, they will repeat exactly what Mythic did long ago.
It's a shame really. Companies just never seem to learn anything. Sure, you can do a shitty job for cheap, but eventually, people will start paying more for a better quality job.
Teambuilder had a significant reason to exist. It offered something no other queue system has so far which was Informed Consent. By the time you got to matchmaking with teambuilder, you had agreed to the champions and roles your team was playing. Don't want to play with Teemo support? Then don't. Only want mid lane mages with strong teamfighting? Ok, be willing to wait and you can get that. Want to run 5 champions with globals and all take teleport? Ok, be prepared to camp out and bring a friend or two to start the queue but yea, you could do that.
As a dedicated Mid/Support player, (which has become pure support at this point), I really miss teambuilder. I just got 
and want to practice him, but so far I've only been able to play him as a support unless I go to bots; and by playing against bots I can't learn too much.
Teambuilder was great.
As a support main... I really REALLY hate the new system because as much as I like playing support, I don't like playing it EVERY SINGLE GAME.
I hate the new CHamp select. Unless you're playing with friends or pick support you still get queue times upwards of 10 minutes. Then you have to sit through another 5 minutes of banning and picking and god forbid someone forgets to lock in and you get send back to queue.
People say Teambuilder was useless because of queuetimes, but honestly, since we have the new champ select i sit longer in queues than i ever had to in TB. Aside, waiting for 10 minutes to find a game STILL does not guarantee that you will get your preferred role...
Sure TB had problems, like not being able to change champs for synergy and stuff, but even stuff like that could have easily been changed.
I just want TB back ;-;
I tried the Dynamic que I hate it... I never get mid, and half the time someone ban/picks what I want to play when I actually get it.
Sure sometimes I had upwards of 15-20 minute wait times to get mid in TB, but that's TONS better than playing multiple games before getting the exact role/champ you want.
I miss being able to find another team with impunity if I didn't like the team comp.
I just miss the ability to choose one role. Yes I can play other roles but some days I only want to play mid, and I don't want to have to worry about not getting it. I'll even wait longer in queue if I have to, I just want to be able to pick one role again.
i made a thread similar to this saying this new draft sucks and tb should come back, everyone downvoted me.
wat.
I miss taking thresh ADC and my team thinking I was the support until it was to late.
So their shitty noob catering dynamic queue wouldn't fail. You think anybody would queue up for dynamic queue if we had solo queue or teambuilder? Fuck no. wait time would be even longer on there since nobody wants anything to do with premades
I tried Team Builder a few times and gave up on it completely. It took forever to find games, especially if you were picking oddball. I doubt there was a lot of people using it for this reason, thus there was little point in supporting it. The new queue system looks after the overwhelming reason for people using Team Builder anyways. We can choose our roles now.
I miss being able to pick my champ and go. My queue times were only around 7 mins at most which I didn't think was that bad. I also liked the random atmosphere it had. Like it allowed for off-meta picks. Now if someone tries to pick off-meta the match gets dodged and I'm stuck in queue again...and again.
