Do people actually play Blind Pick?

I mean, I guess it's a faster queue if you group up with friends, and ofc in other regions draft probably took really long (notice i said took because draft is literally removed from some regions) I've seen a few posts about it and I think the best thing to say to Riot right now is "We preffer quality over quantity" Also I think calling out Team Builder to come back is not necessary, since its a hundred times better than blind pick.

A few reasons why I wouldn't like blind pick to be the only "normal" mode:

  • Mirror matches (some find these challenging but I just dont lke it)
  • Champ select obnoxious toxicity -nuff said
  • Role calling

My condolences to the regions that lost draft mode, I guess there will be less people playing League now on those? I should be playing on LAS/LAN since im from LAS, but I honestly preffer NA because my region people is twice as toxic as NA people, even tho I have 200ms on every game here, I can still play comfortably.

The reason blind pick is still played is because people want to get into a game quicker. If you remove Blind Pick, Draft Pick will get all the blind pick players in the queue and queue times will be A LOT BETTER.

It's not that difficult of a concept to grasp.

Not once since I learned what Draft mode was. The whole structure of Champ Selection in Blind is utterly retarded and brings out the inner retard in everyone.

I do. I dislike it sometimes because I can have slow fingers.

I love Blind Pick, it's my favorite mode. It's fast, it's fun, and "fill" actually gets you different roles! When a new champion or rework comes out, your at least 3x more likely to get to play them because they can't be banned and they can't be stolen away by the other team.

Most of the instalockers went to Draft Pick, everyone else cycles through their preferences quickly (and more often than not without argument).

I play Blind pick more than anything else. Draft is way too long for me.

I don't even play normal games, only ranked, so I do not feel qualified to answer this question.

For lols. If you want to play something silly with friends its good. You get some people bitching when you go duo top and leave the adc alone in bot but meh.

Yes. Sometimes i don't wanna have to deal with dumb wait times and banning pout shit or people taking my champion. I play very role on top of maining Mid and Support so I don't need to whine about not getting my role

My very first game as Mordekaiser was in a mirror matchup mid... vs someone with a ton of experience with him. That did not go well. :)

A lot of people like blind pick, it also seems to be a queue full of inexperienced players or players looking to have fun.
