Should Team Builder Still Exist?

Let me ask you people. Should Team Builder still exist after Dynamic Draft is fixed and re-released?

As of right now, Dynamic functions as the god send to ranked as you can group with more than two and less than five. Not to mention skipping the pregame fights on roles and allowing other people to ban than the person on the first pick slot. Okay, sure it solved the whole ranked issue with people. But what about us who just want to play Normals? You know for fun and not heavily competitive?

Now don't get me wrong. I like Dynamic Draft. It's unique, and very fast to start a game. But I enjoyed Team Builder more. You actually saw the champion and role the person wanted before going in game. There's no banning phase, so people who really want to play I dunno Illaoi (who will never see the light of rift ever again) can play her without having her banned 95% of all games. Plus if your opponent picked the same champion you wanted, you didn't just have to give them up as well.

I mean lets be honest here. How many times have you made a Team Builder que with a friend and this came up? Bard Support And your friend just laughs and gets rid of it for a support that you trust more. (not that I don't trust Bard as a support)

tl;dr Team Builder gave options, mirror lanes, and variety. Choices on what champions we wanted to fill roles, and was fun. Unless Dynamic Blind Pick becomes a thing, when Jhin comes out good luck actually not seeing him a first ban.

...and before riots excuse to why both can't exist is "too many servers for specific things" just remember Draft Mode Dominion is still a thing.

I find it hilarious that your counter-example to queue fragmentation is a queue that a) only exists on NA after being removed from EU servers and b) has been completely dead for years after a bug forced everyone into blind pick.

I hope they don't just trash the idea of teambuilder... Instead! They should make it smoother... Better! Much like the dynamic que
