You probably belong in team builder

Auto lockers should be a thing of the past. People who can only play one role (in extreme cases one champion) for some reason still decide to do blind pick. At this point this really should be a bannable offense. Its not like a year ago where if you were stuck with one lane or one champion there was nothing you could do. Now you can be guarnteed that lane or that champion every game you play. Yet some people still decide to do blind pick and when they don't call fast enough they just auto lock. This ruins games. It creates a toxic enviroment for the team especially when someone called their role first and than its just taken from them.

What I am proposing is that auto locking should be a bannable offense. theres no reason to not be in team builder for this portion of the player base. At the very least if they are reported enough for autolocking they should have blind pick turned off for them and only allowed to do team builder. Please let me know what you think and if you agree.

Add ranked draft team builder people who want to play their lane will play their lane

theres no reason for someone to have to be good in all roles so why force them to play so...

Problem is if there was a chance that nobody in that five could play a single role. For every first pick that chose support, there's at least three who pick mid. :/

I mean, I can understand not being able to do a particular lane or jungle well, but a player in ranked should have a basic idea of each role just in case. It's hard to feel bad for someone if they can only do one role, as opposed to being able to do three but not two so well.

And in those cases, people are lenient. I can't top for shit, so someone might let me jungle or support instead.

Ranked teambuilder can't come fast enough. I will love it so much.

I doubt I'll climb too high, but I'll definitely play the hell out of it.

It'll have to work differently than the current teambuilder, due to counterpicking and bans.

And the rare instances people want to do a different comp than the meta.

You pick your lane.

Get sent to a lobby where you can chat about picks with the other 4 people.

Get sent to the draft. Banning and champions get picked.

Get sent to the game. You play the game.

Well...

Okay you win. I can argue until I'm blue about current team builder's issues, but ranked draft isn't without its flaws. Let's see with Rito does. Wouldn't mind giving it a shot anyway.

To the comments below. I'd like this change to be impletemented for both ranked and non-ranked. Too many people que for normal blind pick, lose calling their position and than just autolock. I'd like to make autolocking a bannable offense, if not from the game than from blind pick. Blind pick should be a privilege not a right and if you can only play one position let alone one hero you DO NOT belong in blind pick you belong in team builder.

What they at least need to do is gray out the lock in button until 30 seconds have passed. At least then you can attempt to discuss something before you're stuck with 3 things locked in.

That being said, team builder in general just feels better to play. There is a fair bit less rage just because everyone gets to play what they felt like playing. It's hard to play blind pick anymore.
