Feedback and New Selection Feature

I've been a player here for a long time and it has always bugged me that the system here can really use a few brush ups. I like the new selection system but I can't shake off the fact that it isn't really fulfilling its purpose. I understand that it is supposed to be an update but it seems like it's still the old champ selection system just this takes a lot longer by taking unnecessary steps that results in more sad 's. Also it felt like the new system was sort of shoved on us quite quickly. I was surprised to see it already in ranked when I logged in after the 6.1 patch. Needless to say I'm surprised they did it so early and just expected everyone to get accustomed to it off the bat. For example I was focusing in on which champ to play and forgot that I now had to lock in champs or else it will kick me from selection. Needless to say I did get kicked and received a 30 min penalty for it. It is what it is but when you're with a group of friends and that happens it can be really frustrating. I'm sure that I'm not the only one on this boat and I can see why a lot of folks want TeamBuilderBack. I mean it did the same thing this new one does just less shiny. I don't know, eventually we'll get used to it but Riots system of just dishing out game punishment almost non-discriminately on certain issues just bothers me a bit. Especially if they're new like this case. I'm open to all feedback. It would be nice to see if there are others who feel the same way. I'll go past my 30 min slap on the wrist now in WoW on my Panda in Pandaland where I can find joy.
