I miss mirror matches, but I hate blind pick.

One of the lesser mentioned casualties of removing Team Builder is that the only way to play mirror matchups is to do blind pick. I fucking hate blind because it's rampant with instalockers and we have to decide roles, adjust runes/masteries, discuss comp and pick champions all within one brief window. It's especially aggravating when two people instalock the same role.

A few other things I miss:

  • There were no counterpick wars, which actually increased champion diversity because you didn't have to worry about a Blitzcrank pick if you went Sona early, and didn't feel pressured to secure an OP champion to keep it away from someone.
  • The absence of bans allowed me to practice more against FotM champions
  • Troll picks got kicked
