@Riot - Don't Remove Teambuilder Yet!

New champ select replaces Team Builder

I'll start by saying that I have not played many teambuilder matches. However, I think it's honestly really good.

According to your article, teambuilder didn't serve the purpose you intended--to allow for certain team comps to be made. I agree that teambuilder didn't achieve this at all, but it did do something else for the playerbase: it allowed you to be assured of playing a specific champion in a specific role.

Other than teambuilder there is only 1 other way to do that, by instalocking and being stubborn, which is not fun for anyone else. While teambuilder might not do what you want it to do, it certainly isn't a bad thing, so there isn't a reason to disable it.

IMO, teambuilder should stay forever unless it gets severely outclassed with the Normals new champion select whenever that comes out. I would also be ok if teambuilder stayed for now but was disabled automatically once the normals new champ select came out.

Without teambuilder, there would be no (non-toxic) way to be assured of a champion and role. With teambuilder, well, nothing bad happens, so why disable it?

That's just my opinion though, and perhaps it is wrong--as I said, I don't use teambuilder that much. What do you all think?

I myself am a Teambuilder main.

I LOVE teambuilder and when it came out I left blind picks without a second thought.

Why?

I love TB because of this simple fact: I can play the** EXACT champ** I want in the EXACT lane I want, I don't care if I have to wait 10 minutes or even 40 minutes in que to do that. (Honestly though the longest I have ever waited in TB que was 37 minutes and I am fine with doubling that.) I pick my champ and pick my lane and then bam I get a que! Guess what if someone in que doesn't like what I am playing they can simply boot me I am completely cool with that! I don't get banned for dodging and they don't get banned for dodging its awesome!

Now the other thing is I don't play draft or ranked because they do not appeal to me at all. Simply put if someone bans the champ I want to play, guess what, I have no other champs I am good at so now my team is going to lose and they are going to be harassing me the whole match. I have no desire to play any "other" champions I am casual mud ranked and fine with that. I don't bring my lack of skills into ranked because if I did play ranked I wouldn't want someone doing that to my game.

I understand RIOT has to do what they think is good for the game and I can see where this new champ select is much much better for draft and ranked then what they had before I love the idea that they are making changes for the players who enjoy those modes however...

Taking away TB?? Why?!??! What is the reasoning behind this?

You want everyone to get on the ranked bandwagon?

You think that every player from TB is going to jump into this?

Sorry not gonna do it. I am sure a large percentage of TB players will enjoy playing normals now, but frankly I would rather go back to blind pick and the frustrated players trolling there than pick two roles and two champs and get to play the one I enjoy only 50% of the time.

I love one champ and that's it, and I am only one of many who will simply play another mode or leave altogether rather than play a mode I have no desire be a part of just to shorten your que times.

So Kudos on your new champ select it looks very nice and shiny for those who will enjoy it.

Me?

I will be playing custom's from now on since your removing my favorite thing about the game.[zombie-brand-clap]

They think it slows down the queue too much to guarantee specific roles to each person.
