My LoL experience since the removal of Team Builder

Diana Prince·Apr 18, 2016·3 votes·587 views

Game 1: Choose primary adc, secondary support, select Ashe as my champ: Get adc, but other team chooses Ashe first so no deal. Game 2: Choose same: get support. Game 3: Choose same: get support. Boyfriend decides to play with me so we can duo bot together... Game 4: Find out you aren't allowed to duo bot with a friend. Your roles have to be more diverse. Game 5: Choose same: get support AND my adc chooses Ashe (even though I preferred) because he didn't want me to be Ashe.

I have yet to play a single game where I get to actually play the position I want and the champ I want at the same time. There is just no incentive to play LoL anymore. Not sure why Team Builder was removed, but that is the only way I would ever play this game again.

You've played 5 games in 4 months?

Yes because they removed Team Builder...I don't enjoy playing a position I don't want and a champ I don't want. Team Builder allowed me do play the way I enjoyed playing. It also allowed me to play with friends and allowed us to all play what we wanted to play, whether it was 2 of us or 5 of us. That kind of enjoyment isn't available anymore.

Just pick adc/mid. You'll get adc 95% of the time. The picking order is: mid->top->adc->jg->support Your secondary should always be more popular than the role you want. If you want mid, pick top.

We don't miss the filthy casuals that left the game anyways. Ciao.

Hey yeah, I'm part of that 'had 500 Team Builder games club'. I've turned into a fill main ever since. Although it's probably cause you can't see honour ribbons in Dynamic, and I've gone 30 games without actually getting the role I wanted before I quit all it together.

I play mostly premades now, which sucks because I'm going to lose my ribbon from that since even if my team honours me it won't impact the system enough to sustain it.

Dynamic Queue. Good on paper, except the paper is made from crushed babies and there's already digital copy.

I guess Riot is going in a direction of only catering to the Ranked/Pro players. I can understand if that is their focus. I played LoL in a casual way and that is not who Riot is targeting. I am just sad at the loss of what I once considered a very fun game.

The removal of Solo/Duo Queue decimated the Ranked/Pro players. No pro player likes Dynamic Queue and the only reason I play it is to increase my rank and so that I don't forget to play a game to prevent elo decay.

Dynamic Queue, Rotating Game Modes, ARAM, and Normal Blind pick ALL are there for casual players...

Game 4: Find out you aren't allowed to duo bot with a friend. Your roles have to be more diverse.

If you could both do Bot/Support & Support/Bot then you could guarentee the same role every game which wouldn't be fair. Which is ironic because premade 5's do.
