"I called mid first, let me mid or I'll afk & feed!!!" ummm.. Hello? TeamBuilder would like a word.

How long has TeamBuilder been out? Hopefully long enough for people to know it's an option to queue up for.

Honestly, this idea of joining a game and immediately calling a lane is just ridiculous. More than HALF of the game end up like this in champion select:

teemo4lyfe: TOP alwaysToppingorf33din: TOP TOP TOP teemo4lyfe: HEY MAAAAAAAN I CALLED TOP FIRST, L00K RIGHT HERE <teemo4lyfe: TOP alwaystoppingorf33din: TOP TOP TOP> IM TOP KKKKKKKKK? alwayssToppingorf33din: lol n3rD i'm top or i troll k tyvm teemo4lyfe: lol 2 top then, i don't care anymore ill just feed more than my usual level of expected feeding alwaysToppingorf33din: no ur a nerd lvl 99, im going top alone or ill feed way more than you will!!!1!11 :) :)

Rest of the team: . . . . .

This is just frustrating to deal with, it's so damn childish and immature to fight over a role like that, if you really want your stupid top or mid or adc, and want nothing else, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, QUEUE UP FOR TEAMBUILDER. It takes 5 min to find a game, but you get your role every time

Just because you call some role or lane, doesn't mean you deserve it, it doesn't mean that you will get it, and it for sure doesn't mean you can whine like a little baby if you're not satisfied with the outcome.

You queue up with 4 other random players, and it's everyone's role to work together and come up with something that works. You want top Riven really bad? But hold up, so that player 3 and player 4, perhaps you can take a break from Riven and try out going ADC for a while, or take riven in the jungle. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

TEAMBUILDER is a thing, please use this gametype if you really really want to play 1 thing every game, and aren't willing to compromise (and or) are still a child.

Look, I wanted to play lee sin jungle a lot for some reason, played teambuilder a couple of times in a row. Waited on average 5-10min (since I played between 1am - 5am EST), and had my role every time. Just please, enough with this role calling and whining,

The only thing is, 99% of the roles that players fight over (top/mid) have queues that average 15-30 minutes or more on teambuilder, because there is an oversaturation of them, and not enough supports or junglers.

First rule of blind: Pick and lock after you call it.

To Anyone That Doesn't Want To Waste Time In a 5-Min Queue: Did you know, in five minutes, you can tab out, open youtube, and watch.... ANIME? YES, YOU CAN! YOU CAN USE THOSE FIVE MINUTES TO WATCH ANIME AND OR OTHER YOUTUBE VIDEOS LIKE: MUSIC, FUNNY PARODIES, (DBZABRIDGED) AND OTHER SHIT!

(But all joking aside, I'd suggest using those five minutes to catch up with a show you're behind on)

Teambuilder sucks, if you want to play unusual pick like Zyra jungle, Syndra Support, Quinn Mid etc. you literally have to wait half an hour or more. No thanks, I prefer Draft Pick and adapt when I'm last pick. Support can actually be fun when you're not playing Leona, Blitzcrank or Thresh

Someone else probably already commented but yaknow. reading is hard If you read the patch note for 5.13 it says (http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-513-notes)

Rapid-fire chat messages now always appear in the same order for everyone in a lobby or chat room

Team Builder's 20 minute queue times would like a word as well. If you play Team Builder it's as if you are on low priority all the time.

Do you take your own advice? If you stick to Team Builder, you can avoid this frustration too, and you won't have to make posts like this.

The greater question is why riot hasn't just straight up removed blind pick and make Teambuilder the way to play norms if you dont want to play draft.

Agree with this, when i play blind pick, its because i could care less where i end up, if i want a specific lane i use team builder or make a premade. There is a reason why top and mid have the longest wait times, because everyone wants the roles that can carry the hardest.

Simple fix, perma ban every account that does this :) Would cut down on trolling, and as a result, cut down on the "toxicity" that players like this get.

ADC: Can you please not play Ashe jungler? I wanted to play her. Ashe Jungler: I'm going to do that now, just because you said that.

Why do people in blind pick go out of their ways to be jerks like that? I had to dodge because not only was that a bad pick, but she's clearly not a team player on top of it. I had to dodge another game earlier because this Shaco joined, locked in mid, and said nothing else what so ever. The person who called mid threatened to troll him back, and it was just a huge toxic dramatic mess. A lot of us play video games to escape that kind of drama. When selfish people enter champion select like that, it creates a toxic mess.

Another thing I absolutely cannot stand, and do not understand is the **junglers **that say, "JG JG JG JG JGJJGJAGJ JGJGJGJGJGJGJG JG" a dozen differnet times in the chat for a good 10 seconds so that nobody sees who got what and we have to spend 30 seconds figuring out who got what, and a lot of times you don't. My past 8 junglers have all called jungler in the chat at least 4 times in a row. Does Riot need to put in big bold letters that spamming the chat does not help you get your role? Has it really gotten that bad?

Blind pick is an absolute mess, and Riot needs to get serious about fixing it because it's extremely bad this summer.

LOL I just tried another blind pick champion select. Someone called mid, 2 other people picked mid champions first before talking, locked. Karthus decided to go ADC, and when I asked Katarina what she was doing, she said she's jungling without smite. Our support who was also AP, got spooked by our chances of being able to stay alive, and thankfully she dodged. This is ridiculous.

Isn't team builder locked until level 25 now, or is it still level 10.
