So, I was a bit confused on how the whole "team builder" will work

Basically, I was thinking. Is team builder only for blind pick modes?

What about draft? Ranked?

Do you actually lock in the champ/role when you que up or simply pick a preferred champ?

I was thinking for other modes if you have to pick your champion before hand. (Which would keep people from trolling support role then playing w\e they want just because) It would show 3 alternative champions ontop of the preferred champion. I made a mild modification to the originally posted team builder picture. To show what I believe to be a good idea.

My changes are to the right of the primary champion picture.

While I understand the idea behind the team builder system isnt to "enforce the meta" I do want the ability to somewhat see what champs a specific person might play. Since even if they lock in support there's no for sure saying they will actually support. They might go top w\e. Unless you are locked to that champion that you pick.

In which case I feel picking 3 alternative champs will give them a bit of diversity against enemy pick/banns and counters. I mean if you locked in Fiora and they pick Jax. Without the ability to actually change champs. Its going to make for a BAD day.

Anyways this was just a mild idea that had popped into my head while thinking about this new feature and how it could potentially be abused if you aren't locked to a champion and vice versa if you were.

I think even if you were to give the players the ability to limit their player pool for that game to only 3-5 champions that EVERYONE on the team can see before you reach champion select would make it much better for people on your team.

PS : I also added the file as an attachment if you dont wanna go to outside links.

  1. Will Team Builder replace other queues?

a) Team Builder is a complete re-design of Champion Select that was inspired by a lot of research on social dynamics and cooperation. Because we're going to iterate on it quite often with player feedback, we opted to create it as an independent queue first and not touch any of the existing queues. Depending on what we learn, we may adapt some or all of Team Builder into the existing queues Taken from http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=42242096#42242096
