@Riot Lyte, Disabling Team Builder, Why?

Guy Fox Teemo··8 votes·906 views

Why not just disable Blind Pick? No one likes it, and the only reason its still used instead of Teambuilder is because its faster queue (If you disable it, Team Builder Queues could much faster in theory).

It literally creates , CREATES toxicity in itself, everyone insta picking, w/e they want in any role. And not giving one F***. Or when 4 members all single out the Solo guy in blind.


Team builder allows me to play the champ/role I want. This new thing gives me 75/25 o dds at best. The new "Draft Mode", DOESN'T let me pick the champ I want, what if its banned? What If I didn't get my FIRST preferred role? If I want to go Zed midlane, then I should dam well just be able to go Zed Mid Lane when I WANT. Idc, if I have to wait like 7-10 minutes to get into a game. Because I'm playing the champion and role I WANTED. I main extremely popular champs (Yasuo, Vayne, Zed). These will likey be banned often, just screwing me over. If I wanted to play a SPECIFIC one. Yes I main more then one role, but sometimes I JUST want to play a specific champ/role. No other champion, not Fizz, Leblanc, Annie, Lee, Viktor, or any other champion and role.

If its server cost thats taking up a lot I'd suggest, you'd disable blind pick. And keep Team Builder up, yes sometimes you get shitty comps, or w/e. But you get that like 100% of the time in blind pick, and generally people are EXTREMELY toxic if you go Solo.

Like THINK ABOUT IT. Like really think Lyte, think why someone (Or most of the player base, who doesn't play Ranked), would rather see blind pick disabled, then Teambuilder

If they are disabling TB, it's probably for live testing of the new champ select which will be here next week. Not sure what you're talking about though.

Ah I didn't see that. They always take forever to sticky news to the top -_-

Ok since I saw the article now;

It looks like the "new" Blind Pick will basically be a superior TB though. You'll most likely choose your role, join a match, then choose your champion. It'd be just like TB except you pick the champion you want after the match is found rather than before. The only problem is multi-role champions could possibly be taken by a teammate. It also would stop the constant kicking of players that TB has that drastically extends the queue times.

and be banned, and you also have a chance of not getting the role you wanted, and getting your secondary role. (I don't exactly want jungle to be taken, while wanting to be playing Warwick)

The article said there's no ban or drafting for it. Though yes, you could get your secondary position. Better than the ridiculous queue times imo.

I don't mean to be rude but :l, Read it carefully

"With new champ select, we’ve solved the issues we found with Team Builder. Teams get on the same page and start working together through pick intent and distributed bans right from the start. You’re guaranteed to get one of the two positions you prefer, and you can use pick intent to let your team know who you’re looking to play before bans and picks take place."

"Guaranteed to get one of the TWO positions you prefer," NO. Just no. I want 100% guarantee. Not 50/50. What if I only want to play Lux mid? And not Lux support. I don't see why you guys must disable TB though, seriously.

I'm talking about the Blind Pick version, which is in the next paragraph.

and in the future we’ll introduce a version of blind pick inspired by the new design for players who are looking for the new champ select experience without bans or drafting.

you guys feel too entitled there are a bunch of champions if you cant play more than one well than you can always play bots and get what you want :D

It isn't about the amount of champions or not being good at a certain position, it is about being able to have a 100% chance to play the exact position and role you want. It is about a section of the player base being corralled into a new mode for the sake of queue times.

^ This exactly. Guess what I will gladly play custom games or bots then rather than lower que times for a new select mode that does NOTHING for me other than remove my preferred method of play.

exactly go play bots if you want that everyone else with a brain will be more than willing to get a top 3 role that they want.

If that were true then there is no reason to remove TB.

Honestly as someone who enjoys TB I say this new Blind Pick is better. Granted we can't get are role for sure, but if you are gaurentee one of the two you pick that is even better. If you only know how to play one role you probably should be learning how to play because there is no excuse especially with a game like this being out for 5+years.

This isn't ranked? Who the hell says I need to play more then one role? I play all roles, but sometimes I WANT to just play mid and zed. I don't like having a "chance" at getting the character and position I want sometimes

Its not a new blind pick either, its DRAFT MODE

Blind pick is mega toxic...I can't believe Riot expects new players to go through the steep learning curve and toxicity and smurfs by blind pick...

The old Team Builder is being removed because the new one is basically the current one on steroids lol
