Riot there is a reason you made Team Builder

You made it because you recognized how awful blind pick is. TB gave us a place to practice a champ and/or role without having to first time it in ranked. If draft is removed then you have three options. Bots, risk it in blind pick hoping you get your role and champ or practice in ranked and none of these are very good options. Removing Normal Draft will take the game right back to where it was before TB came out except this time we'll have less because Dominion is gone (RIP).

Riot Draggles made a post talking about how the original post was a bit unclear. He said that they said that, in a perfect world, they would retire the Normal Draft completely and integrate the element of role selection into Blind Pick. HOWEVER, he also said "We caused confusion by saying that "in an ideal world" we'd retire Normal Draft in NA, EUW, and BR. We have no current plans to do so. Ultimately, we would like to take the best aspects of both normal queues (position preference from Normal Draft and less hardcore gameplay/speedy champion select from Blind Pick) into a single queue." Simply put, they have no plans to remove Normal Draft in any regions that they haven't already removed it in, and the regions they have already removed it in have next to no participation for it.
