Team Builder - How About It Riot?
Now that you actually admitted that dynamic queue didn't work out as planned, how about bringing back something you took out earlier this year that a lot of people really enjoyed playing?
Some of us don't really care for the lengthy pick/ban draft process, but you seem to emphasize pros so much that I can't help but wonder why Team Builder doesn't return. TB allows you to have your lane and champion guaranteed, not 50% but 100% so. The wait time is minimal compared to draft and frankly, I've had some of my best games the last three years and most fun ones with that system.
Why should it be re-added?
-
No more getting a lane because you call it first in a chat - Ever seen somebody take your best lane and force you into something you aren't anywhere near as good at because they called it, usually in all capital letters? This also eliminates the problem when you "connect" to the lobby late and can't see who called what because the chat history doesn't show it. Of course, they usually lose the lane with an abysmal score.
-
Guaranteed role and champion. Not maybe, not possibly, not one in two chance, 100% chance of using your favorite champ in your favorite lane.
-
Booting ability - If somebody starts trolling or acting up in the lobby you can boot them right out of the game or choose to join a new lobby. Blind pick you'd have to dodge and take a penalty queue because of somebody else threatening to "feed the team like Thanksgiving dinner" if they don't get their way.
-
High popularity amongst the playerbase - some of that much needed restoration of trust could come from bringing back a mode a lot of us are still upset was removed in the first place.
Remember, Team Builder was the CURE for blind pick. Ever since you removed it, blind pick games have been absolutely unbearable! I've often had issues with a champion matchup and because I didn't ban the champ I had to learn to fight them and figure out a way to do better because of that. Draft is fine for those who enjoy far more structured games but it would be fun to queue in and fight quickly in the role and champ you desire.
What about it guys? I really think this would help season 7 start in a more positive direction!
