Ranked Teambuilder - Miku's version

Inspired by the other ranked teambuilder thread.

To me, one of the big problems with ranked, especially at low elo, is that many players are very much better at some roles than others. Why is this such a big problem? Well, not only does it create arguments, but it also makes your mmr much less correctly indicative of how good you're going to do. Many low elo games the teams are very unfair since one team is stuck with players not doing their preferred roles and playing absolutely horribly. So I have come up with a way to make a ranked teambuilder with this in mind.

  1. This rule is optional but I would think it would be a good thing. You get a different rating for each role. This way, the rating you have will much more correctly match your skill level, creating more fair games.
  2. It otherwise pretty much just works like a nonteambuilder game, with one quick fix. You specify your role, and all the roles of the team you want, and get matched up only with players that picked the exact same set of roles for their team that they want. Yes, I know, you'd probably never get into a game if you specified anything other than the current meta, but at least this allows for shifts in the meta and does not inherently enforce the meta.
  3. You go to champion select with the team that it matched you up with. Maybe there could be some way to trade roles here, but I think it would be fine, even without it.
  4. It plays like a normal ranked game from there.

I feel the main problem about this is that the unpopular roles (i.e Support) will very rarely be picked and so it will become like the normal teambuilder and take ages before a match is found.

Overall, I like this idea and the long queue time definitely is worth it if everyone gets their roles.

The real reason they cant add team builder to ranked is because it would add more pre game lobby that players would fight in with, IE they can easily say theyll go top or mid> pick an entirely different champion >go bot adc >do amazing, be positive and not say a word the entire game except gj/gg/great play ect. and then the one who wanted to adc gets screwed out of his role and cant report the guy for anything because in game he was a perfect little angel

This can and will happen, Ive done it in teambuilder before, we pick meta roles to find people faster but then we all go mid and the last random guy is like wait wtf?
