@Riot: Please don't remove Normals Draft in other servers

LAS player here: Normals Draft are the only type of game I play because Blind Pick tilts me to no end. I hate having to put up with instalockers and ragers and not being able to ban the champions I hate so I always have to face off against a Yasuo , Zed and LeeSin in the enemy team every. Single. Game.

I can't stand people who don't respect calling order and instalock midlane even when someone else already called mid, so when the game starts you're stuck with 2 midlaners and no support.

It drives me mad to queue up wanting to play a specific champion and someone beating me to that role so I have to waste 20+ minutes playing someone I didn't want just to have a shot at it in the next game, assuming I even have time for 2 games in a single evening.

The endless dodges by people who had something of the above happen to them makes the queue completely insufferable.

Removing Normals Draft is essentially killing normals for me, I will be forced to only play Ranked from now on, which means I can never try out new champions, test new builds or play with friends again (because all my friends are Bronze while I'm Gold, so I can't queue with them).

Please reconsider your decision. I'd rather grind my own balls off with a cheesegrater than queueing up for Blind Pick ever again in my life.

If they're going to remove any queue, it should be blind pick. -_-

I play Normal draft more then anything else in this game. High queue times are annoying sometimes but I would almost always chose higher queue time with option to select select position i want to play before low queue time and to have to fight for the position i want or to get stuck with something i do not enjoy playing or even worse to get people trolling because they didn't get what they wanted. Normal draft needs to stay! Make it work RIot! Better remove blind and keep draft!

I'd be 100% fine with teambuilder, I hate that they ever removed it in the first place. Sometimes I really just want to practice -something- and it's awfully annoying when I get denied that opportunity every game I try to get into lol.

^^^^^ THIS.

EUNE player here. Same thing. Unless you make it completly UNREPORTABLE to test new champions during ranked games, 90% of population is done. Not to mention new players who usually try out every position and huge majority of champions. This decision makes no sense.

Riot never goes back on a choice, no matter how dumb it might be. RIP Normal Draft.

I play on EUNE. My computer isn't the best, so in the blind when the champ select loads for me, people already chose their lanes, so it's always support or adc left for me. Normal draft was the queue where I could play what I wanted, without fighting with kids, trolls and toxic people. Of course there are some in draft too, but not this many. The waiting was quite long (sometimes 10 minutes), but I really didn't care about it, because I knew I'll get the lane I wanted. Please! Give us Draft Pick back!

I'm just curious why Riot doesn't respond. I pay IRL currency to buy ingame stuff. I'm not just a summoner, i'm a customer. And i demand to be heard and to get a response from support/administration team. I need rational logical explanation to why i have to play blind pick with racists, nacists, flamers, afkers, abusive insta locking troll kids. Just because i want to go jungling, and i don't insta lock, someone should not tell me to get cancer and die with ebola and insta lock jhin jungle. I don't think my little sister should get raped (even though i don't have one) just because i want to play top and someone else wants to play it too... In draft mode you only get abused if you feed. There are way less afkers and way less trolls. So I want to know from Riot why do they want any of their community members to go through all of this things.
