Team Builder? When?

Well first of all it doesn't even really make sense to me that the games that don't necessarily matter (normal queue) have a building tool, that let's you specialize in the champion and lane you want to go in.

**Is Team Builder even coming to ranked matches? **Because honestly it's the only mode that actually makes sense having this feature.

I already know what you're thinking "But, Ranked matches are draft pick.. We can't use team builder on that mode."

In my opinion, ranked matches are easier than normal ones (without draft pick) because in Normal Mode you don't have the liberty of seeing what champions the enemy team is choosing. Going into a match blind and having to come out on top is a lot more hard than seeing an Evelynn/Twitch/Akali picked and countering her because you then know you need a champion with vision.

So I guess what I don't understand is, the matches with more stakes, are the ones you get stuck being last pick and perhaps not even playing a lane you're good at, and you get to see what the enemy is choosing making the match easier on yourself. But normal matches with "less stakes" allow you to specialize who you want, go in possibly fighting your counter without you even knowing, but you don't get the same credit/ip/exp/recognition because even though you just came out on a harder match up, it's still considered "normal". I don't even really get to use team builder because most times I'm grinding on ranked matches trying to ascend tiers before the season ends.

Further than that, the majority of argument stems from people battling over which lane they want in lobby because in ranked it actually MATTERS to them? Do you know how many less tribunal cases you would see if people didn't have the opportunity to argue with who goes where? And when you're in your promos you could I don't know, ACTUALLY PLAY SOMETHING YOU'RE GOOD AT? Most times I find myself understanding of the games mechanics and the way its set up, but this whole team builder nonsense and "order pick" forcing you to give up the lane you just practiced every match in because you had team builder to help you with it since it's only available on 'normal matches' begs a question of "Why?"

The ranked system is supposed to evaluate you based on your skill, and although players should be universally equipped for all lanes, it's now evaluating you on whether or not you were lucky enough to get the lane you're actually good at. I was under the impression that Team Builder lets you specialize in your lane/champ preference, but for what? So you can keep playing normals because that's the only sure-fire way that you don't get stuck watching someone else suck at your lane and ultimately costing you the game?

Take this as what you want. I'm 80% sure nothing will be done about it. But if you agree, disagree, want to make comments, you know where to go.
