Blind Pick is the most cancerous Game mode

Seriously. You have the people that get upset they did not call the lane they wanted first. Then they troll, causing us to lose the game. If not that, you have premade groups that will work together into pushing other people out of the lanes they got. Like wow. Not only that, You have some of the most toxic players in the game playing blind pick. Let's not forget the Auto Lockers who have no regard of the team none what so ever.

Why isn't there a disciplinary system for players like these? Reporting doesn't always help because the reports aren't always looked at or even considered important enough to know why some players start to become toxic because of these type of players. I just had to dodge a game because one guy wanted mid but it was already called. So he auto locks in and says "Mid idc" Then we all continue to tell him that it's already been called. boiling down to him saying "Mid or top" even though they are already been called.

Teambuilder would be the answer to this, but it takes a good amount of time to make a team. This takes all the fun away from actually playing the game.

For every premade that forces you off of a roll, there's another that works with you to make sure you get what you want, filling around you. They might not always be blunt about it, but it happens almost every time my friends and I play.

I don't notice instalockers or trolls nearly as often as these threads always make them out to be. Occasionally I'll feel spiteful when someone instalocks after I've called my roll and I'll duo with them in lane, but that's about it.

Team Builder has its flaws, and I don't just mean wait time. You can't "fill". You can't select a random champion. You can't adjust your picks to be what the team needs or would synergize with. Your options are to have an equal or worse team comp than you'd get in Blind pick, or to bounce lobby to lobby.

For these reasons, I strongly prefer Blind Pick to Team Builder.

Blind pick should be deleted and Teambuilder should be used more.

I only play Blind when I just want to get a quick game in and don't care where I play. If I want to try a new champ, I just do a bot game. If I want to try a champ in a team environment I do Team Builder.

Don't play Blind Pick. It exists only to piss people off that they didn't auto lock quick enough, or auto locked into the same role as another.

Play Draft. Problem solved.

Team builder is not any better, to be honest. You still have organized people starting Team Builder groups. Sure, you don't have trolls that get fussy when they don't call the lane first, but that is just what you're signing up for when you do a blind pick. Team Builder has its own flaws, anyway, like the lack of a pick/ban phase. Skipping the pick/ban phase in any mode just leads to different trolls saying things like "Kat mid lane. gg" or "X-Champ is my counter, ff @ 20". There is no easy solution to trolls, but part of this game (and the active PvP aspect of it) is that you have to learn to get along with people that you may never have played with before and may never play with again.

I feel like I get one of these about once every 15 games, and have never had the premade problem. I think people vastly over state the problems they have in Blind Pick.
