Morde's tag change shows that contrarily to promises new TeamBuilder will enforce the meta...

Morde's tag was changed to Marksman. Yes, peashooter. The mace dude. The peashooter mace dude. Why? According to some, it's due to the upcoming ranked teambuilder. Conclusion? YOU'LL HAVE TO PICK A MARKSMAN BOT TO FIND A RANKED GAME. No more bruisy dive buddies. No more dual magic tricks. No more handheld assassin. No more wombo yasuo. No more solo monster Yorick.

And, most importantly, no more Mordecarry. Yes, he's been changed specifically for this, but the fact that at a turning point that could have brought more variety to the role distribution, and more matchups that Mordecarry could counter, Riot chose to enforce the standard for everything else than Morde - means that, once again, Morde will not work. He'll still be a weird exception, with all the systemic changes ignoring him and no one trusting him.

And as a side note, even less Quinn top/mid since there will be no such lacks of marksman to fill.

Except that's not how the new champ select works. I know because I've played it on PBE. This change is merely to make it so adc Morde can find a team in Team builder. That's it.

if they enforce meta like stopping stupidity like ezreal support then im all for the ranked team finder doing this sort of thing. so tired of being and adc and getting a non support champ in that spot for bot lane. then they dont even ward at all. if they warded and ran some setups to get me kills id be ok with a non meta support. however i never get a non meta support who actually plays like a support. annie just buy ap ignores ward. as dose teemo too.
