Holy rabies I'M SO HYPE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

#Reading surrenderat20

A bunch of small marksmen updates (like the juggernauts)

Do I sense an ADC meta coming soon? :D Any other ADC mains probably hype for this? Eh? EH?

We learned a lot from the original Team Builder launch, and although the queue had better player behavior (lower reports, lower leavers/AFKs, lower Champ Select conflicts, higher honors), queue times were a major issue. We also saw a demand for no mirror matches, and a "draft" version of Team Builder that incorporated picks and bans.The new Champ Select flow is now:

1. Players can invite friends into a Lobby.
2. Each player is required to select at least 2 Positions (such as Top/Mid, or Mid/Jungle). On average, Ranked players only play 2.2 positions, so we wanted to start simple with a Pick-2 design, but have some backups like rank-sorting all 5 positions if there are queue time issues. We also have designs to incentivize mastering all positions in the future.
3. There's a new position called "Fill."
4. We're currently asking Duo Queues to cover at least 3 unique positions, to further improve queue times. Duo Queues will still have a higher chance of getting the exact 2 positions they want, but it is not 100% guaranteed.
5. Once you've chosen your positions, we match you into a full team and you enter Champion Select.
6. We've made some changes to how drafting works; however, we'll be talking more about this in a future design blog.
7. During Champ Select, you can still negotiate with your teammates to lane swap or trade champs if you want a more favorable match-up just like Champ Select today.
8. Once drafting is done, your team enters the game."

HOLY RABIES! DO YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!
