Riot I am very disapointed

So I suck at this game. My friends suck at this game, but never the less we enjoy it. Well I should say we used to enjoy it. After taking away team builder, my personal score has been 4 wins and 20 losses. 20 losses. This is insanity. How am I or my friends going to enjoy this game with a 75% loss rate. One of my friends literally can only play 2 champions. The other day he got mid and went to play the only mid champion he knows and the opposing team picked it before he could. Game screwed. I have no idea why you thought it was a good idea to completely ditch team builder. The one thing that casual players like myself and my friends use to enjoy ourselves. We don't care about ranked. We don't care about learning different champs. All we care about is having a good time playing your game. Now we can't. It has gotten to the point where we are just about to give up playing, which is a shame because alot of my friends live across the country and this is one of the few ways we get to hang out. I am begging you, as a long time player of this game, who has spent a ton of money, to please reconsider bringing team builder back. For the sake of all us casual players who are being turned off by this new "competitive" system we never wanted in the first place. I know one of the complaints about teambuilder was long que times but last night between dodges we literally waited 17 minutes to start a game. If we were in team builder the match would have been half over by then. I, and all my friends are really, really disappointed and I know we aren't the only ones. So if you do value your customers I do hope you change your mind and bring teambuilder back otherwise your going to lose alot of your fan base.

first off you shouldnt only play 2 champions. seriously i'm an extremely casual player, last two seasons i only played ranked games cause irl friends wanted me too but i can play nearly every champion in the game and have around 30 of them i'm pretty good at and confident picking and then about 5 of those that im extremely confident with and prefer over the others. but just knowing 2 champions that's what riot is trying to get everyone not to do.

OK, then tell your friend to get to finish getting to level 30. Even the most casual of casual players can play 3 champions by the time they're 30.

I don't buy this "I'm casual so I can't cut it in blind pick" crap. Blind Pick is casual too.

Im going to stop you right there. Riot doesn't want you just to play two champs. That's not the point of the game.

I won't touch the win / loss part because I don't think it's related, but I do agree with other parts. Teambuilder was good for people who couldn't play many things and also people who liked to work on mastering a champion by playing it repeatedly. It's hard to get good repetition when you can't even guarantee you'll get the role you need or the champion you want to practice. Blind pick is too much of a crapshoot to use for practice. Some days I only have time for 2-3 games max, so it'd be nice to have the option to play what I want with the limited time.

Have your mid laner friend queue up some bot games and play champions he has never played before. Sure, bots are easy and you should be able to demolish them easily... I hope. But it's a good learning experience. Even if he doesn't play them a whole lot afterwards at least he has tried to play in their shoes and will get a basic understanding of their weak spots and strong areas.

Yeah this has been a major blow to some of my friends as well.

They said they would eventually bring back team builder right? I'm pretty sure i read it from a rioter.

You realize, that it's okay. You can learn more than 2 champs. I know over 30, scattering out over all five main meta roles. And I only play ranked to get past my placements and be like "I soooo worked to get to silver four." It's not that hard to play outside your comfort zone.

I don't want to sound rude, but this doesn't seem like a very reasonable complaint for bringing back team builder. I mean if all you can play is 2 champions than just go ahead and play blind pick. Also, complaining about your win rate is very unreasonable, you lose because of your performance so if you really want a better win rate than i suggest you form a larger champion pool as well as just get better yourself. However, if you just play for fun than you shouldn't be complaining about your win rate.
