Need Team Builder back before I stop playing...

I just want to learn Illaoi. Sadly I can't since for the last three games, top has always been claimed before me. There's no place for me to learn a new champ besides Intermediate Bots which I will go 11/0 in anyway and not learn a single thing.

When I want to play a certain champ, why can't I play them without it having it be a hassle? Check my records, for the past year every serious game that wasn't ranked was Team Builder.

Really sad and a shame on Riot.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Having the ability to choose any champion, in any position, and then form a team of likewise players should be one of the key aspects of the game. I find it stifling that I have to call what I want to play before someone else does, and am penalized (by either a terrible game ending in a quick forfeit, or by an arbitrary wait time if I leave) if I want to be able to start over.

I really don't like any form of the game except Team Builder. Lulu Christ makes a good point about it being the only way to learn a new champion. If there was a good reason that this change happened, I don't know about it. If the aim was to decrease wait times, I never saw a terrible wait that compared to the twenty minutes it takes to lose a game you never wanted to play.

Agreed. I haven't played a game in days. Without Team Builder my experience is more frustrating than fun. This change ruined LoL for me.

You can always learn a champion in a custom game against bots. Otherwise grabs some friends and party up. This highly increases your chances of being able to play what you want to play. The new champ select will also help once it's back in action.

Just some suggestions :)
