for how much BETTER DRAFT IS, if you played with old school draft you know what im talking about, first pick had all three bans and role priority, you think autofill is bad? you could get an entire team of top lane mains with the old draft 90% of queues had people saying things like "mid or feed" last pick was forced to support most of the time, if you think ranked is a coin toss now oh boy you dont know the half of it
Vhan87659 votesJokes on you, I play support, nothing is different; if anything, people yell at supports even more since the new draft.
In all seriousness though, the changes to draft were a godsend. Good riddance to the chaos of last pick. [sg-poppy]
Dr Dog1 votesplus in norms we dont have the chaos of blinds being the only option because of it, if you had a slow computer in those days you might aswell have been a support main because all your gonna get in blinds
Jashindo2 votesThey better be yelling at you about being such a good support and a valuable team member!

10 min que's though..
FixThisBSGame3 votesSo instead of random order, we get random positioning. The game autofills too much. Now, you get 2-3 autofill players on your team, even when you finally get your primary role. As before, players are still unwilling to swap. Not much of an improvement.
Dr Dog1 votesi dont even have an autofilled player too often and 2-3 is a HUGE stretch unless your in challenger, i find i get my main role about 95% of the time even if i queue for top or mid, if you havent played with the old draft you have no clue how huge of an improvement current draft is

Interesting comment since you don't play Ranked.
RIP Tahm Kench1 votesRemember, normals draft doesn't exist.
Dr Dog1 votesim literally gold rn lmao what
SwiftKitten883 votesbelieve me we are... but once u GET into the game i would MUCH rather be playing season 3,4, or even 5 league to any league 6-8.
they cant improve the client and the pre-game expereince all the want.. but we play the game for the actual MATCH. that THAT is pretty fucking trash right now
Dr Dog1 votesso far this is way better than season 8 imo but ya season 5 was the best imo, also the client is pretty bad ngl its WAYYYY too buggy
Myrmiron2 votesI liked old draft more.
Also, idk about NA, but on EUW in my games those "mid or afk" types were SO FEW, like maybe 1 in every 20 or so games.
TheCheekySneak1 votesIt's is an upgrade for sure, especially with the increase in bans. However I'm still pretty unimpressed with the normals matchmaking in general so I'm still hoping for a few more changes.
Salron1 votesI liked old champ select more because on average people had to fill offroles more often which made them more flexible Nowadays 90% of ranked players are just entitled onetricks who can not, and will not play anything but their main
Yes we had to deal with "mid or feed" types back in the day but usually people got things sorted out by the time champ select was over, they were able to play a larger variety of things and on top of that queue times were FAR faster because there wasn't role queuing
