Please bring back team builder...

I'm sick of having to queue dodge and take ever longer penalties because people choose Teemo jungle or Kassadin jungle. Or because the jerk above me intentionally picks or bans the character I was going to be. Or because our team got so hard countered it would be a waste of 40 minutes, on a side note, first second and sometimes third pick really sucks. You are 100% Garenteed to get hard countered. I miss being able to build a decent team, up from the ground, and be 100% assured I would not end up in the wrong lane, get my champion ban/picked, be hard countered just because somebody saw what I picked and have a Kha'Zix support and Kassadin jungle.

Please, the new system sucks. So much.

To this day I don't understand the "logic" behind its removal. I mean, anyone who has ever looks at customer service lifecycle management would tell you that TeamBuilder was only a modification to the selection process so there was little to no maintenance, and it mitigated queue dodge when new champs came out.

The only reason I can see for removing it is that they want total control in telling people how to play. Which is disturbing.

The excuse I keep hearing, "it will ruin queue times... queue times will be longer... omg five whole minutes waiting in queue!@!@!@!" Which might be true but I highly doubt it would effect it that bad. If they would just replace that god awful Normals with Team Builder there would no issues at all. The whole reason they even came out with Team Builder was because of how fucking terrible Normals was, so just replace it.

Even if they're right, you'd think they'd want to "ruin ranked queue times." Waiting an additional 5 mins for Mid might encourage a few more people to go Fill.

Yeah the thing that pisses me off most is how I have no way of practicing and experimenting. I'm pretty much forced to do Dynamic Queue, which is unfair to those who want to be competitive in ranked. Not a chance in hell will I ever click the option that says "Normals" cause that shit is ghetto. My issue isn't with Dynamic Queue itself, its the fact that they should have replaced the old Normals with Team Builder all together. Plus, Team Builder would be a better representation of the new ranked system, "Dynamic Queue".

The getting countered is why I've always hated draft, and a big factor in why I don't play nearly as much as I used to. Riot has been forcing the meta on us and now ranked gameplay mechanics, It's disgusting.
