RiotRiot Socrates·1/14/2016, 10:26:01 PM·17 votes·16,481 views

UPDATE 8:50 PST - New champion select has been reenabled in ranked and draft mode.

Original Post:

Hey all, we are reverting the new champ select on NA back to regular Normal and Ranked draft due to unforeseen technical issues. We will update you on our progress in the coming days.

If you entered matchmaking via the new champion select in the past few minutes (~2:20 PM PST 1.14) you will need to leave queue and reenter in order to ensure you can find matches correctly.

Could we perhaps have team builder back while this is happening?

To those complaining. This was essentially a live Beta Test. They stated that they were only going to turn on the option in NA and TR so that they could stress test the queue and find bugs that would not be found in the PBE. Many features that transition from PBE to Live are usually based on stress test situations and the fact that probability favors the Live environment.

Please, be patient with Riot. This could end up being an issue as severe as the Recall bug that caused them to close ranked for 2 days while they searched for a fix. They're working on fixing this so that we can have the new queue back as soon as possible.

EDIT: You may want to actually sticky this thread Riot.

Why take away Team Builder? It's never guaranteed for us to play the champ we want in the new champ select!

Bring back team builder permanently.

"We will update you on our progress in the coming days."

If this is going to take DAYS, then can we please get Team Builder back?

Riot, can the LoL community at least know what caused the revert of the New Champion Select? Like what kind of bugs/technical difficulties were found that caused the revert?

I think the community deserves to know why something that was heavily anticipated, ended up being short lived. Thanks!

Can we please have team builder back, can we have some way of getting the lane we want again, especially if this will take days...

What is the point of PBE? Thanks for letting me down again like usual.

I hope you guys saw the post on reddit from a master tier. Being able to queue up in (SOLO QUEUE) with 5 people is not solo queue. Getting LCS pro team beating your ass in solo queue is not fun and right. Its not solo queue anymore its 5v5 ranked team so why DAFAQ does 5 people queue together in solo queue exist???

Broken promises Riot. How long was this on PBE again? Unforseen... right.
