In Solo Queue, is Team Builder the true test of skill?

I think I speak for most people when I say that Ranked Draft Pick has a lot of great aspects to it before the game begins. The back and forth of counter-picking, getting a decent team composition together, combining both to minimize your disadvantages while maximizing your advantages - it's all a fascinating strategic icing on the otherwise really great cake of the MOBA design. If I had my druthers, I'd play Ranker Draft Pick constantly.

But the truth we face on a daily basis is that there are jerks out there that, for various reasons, get a lot of joy from ruining your game. And if you're in promos, more the better. And since it's almost impossible to rid solo queue of jerks (unless we implement paid, ID-backed accounts) I'm wondering if people are starting to see Team Builder as the real test of skill in the game aside from pre-made matches. More importantly, I'm wondering how it can't be.

All too often people are told which spot is available only to find out that the who was first pick, didn't say anything, and then is AFK for the rest of champ select was top lane. Or that the auto-locking is ADC. Nevermind when someone completely disregards that someone ahead of them called a position, took it with an appropriate champ, and then the person after them took the same position because "This is what I'm best at."

Team Builder, to me, allows for room to breath and buy into games where the meta is being broken intentionally. And it lets them leave without punishment from a game where the risk seems too much for their stomach. And that benefit goes both ways. I'm fine with meta-breaking. I'm having a ton of fun running support currently, and I'm doing so with a team who's agreed to go in with me. If another player doesn't want that champ supporting they can leave which I'm fine with because I don't want him in the game screaming his head off. At this point in the scheme of things, I'm not sure there's a reason for me to play Ranked because the disadvantages far outweigh the fun.

People complaining that they're trapped in ELO Hell because of trolls, feeders, and AFKers may or may not be accurate. Many times I've seen people respond "If you're really good, you can play your way out of it." I'm sure you can, but the better question is "why would I want to?" I didn't come here to test my patience against jerks who enjoy schadenfreude. I came to see if my map-awareness, decision making, and strategy were up to snuff. I came to try new champs in different positions, and see if I was capable of adjusting when the plan wasn't working out.

tl;dr - I'm not making a grand pronouncement here, but to me if you enjoy MOBA's and are juggling school, work, friends, and other hobbies, there's zero reason to ever play ranked again. I'm just wondering what the argument against that is. And furthermore, why can't we put in Ranked Team Builder.
