Riot, can you just start fresh from Season 5 and work forward from there?

I'd say it was around midway through Season 5 that I really hit my peak of enjoying this game, and I'm sure there's a number of reasons for that. Better balance, less overloaded kits, no keystones to break every champion imaginable, TEAMBUILDER, snowballing at a good balance without 4 man dives in the bot lane every time you play it, and (my personal preferred factor) old Shen back again, his current rework left him yet again in a state of disrepair. If I had to pinpoint the exact moment things started down turning, it really does feel like the Juggernaut rework rang the death knell of overall game health.

Ask anyone who's been playing for a while, odds are they'll say Season 6 was the most experimental grab-bag of a mess they've experienced in this game. I really don't think I'm interesting in going through another balancing nightmare and another season of lab-rat in this game.

All I'm sure of is I've been playing this game less and less in the last 2 years, and I started in S3. If there was an S5 Legacy server you'd probably never hear from me again.

teambuilder was trash for like 90% of the community.

Personally i liked it because as a jungle main i had 3 second que times, but the real problem with teambuilder was that you didnt just sit in a que. you were put in a lobby other people and someone could leave at any time. This made the experience extremely frustrating. As well as the playerbase in teambuilder was tiny. I feel that with the move to Normal Draft with the current system is a great choice for the game.

Also a big problem with teambuilder is that it would take around 15 min to get into a game simply because someone had to pick support. This is why the new system with autofill is great. never mind all the hate towards auto fill. I actually run fill as my secondary. Ques are significantly shorter and having played a lot of teambuilder i have to say that the new system is significantly better than the old one.

And yes ive been playing for about the same amount of time you have so i have all the experiance of time. ive seen the game develop from mid season 2 onward and to be honest. The systems in place for the game are better than they have ever been. I wish i could say the same for the gameplay
