A newb que for Dynamic

So remember Teambuilder- where you could go and choose a role that you really weren't familiar with and a champ you REALLY weren't familiar with- pretty much a place to be a newb even if you've been around since season 1?

Yeah. I want this que back.

Don't get me wrong I like dynamic que but there needs to be an option for people who want to learn new things to be matched up with people who are also learning new things. Cuz I'd love to be able to learn some mid champs but I don't want to be matched against people who are lvl 5 mastery I main mid or whatever lane you want to learn. It's one thing to be beaten when you're a main and learn something, another thing when you're just steam rolled to the point you don't get anything from it besides raged at by your team. Besides- bot's doesn't really teach much aside from "okay this is this person's kit" and being on your own in a custom game may teach you how to CS properly but nothing about being against an actual human being.

TL:DR There needs to be a newb que

Supposedly your MMR is adjusted for playing in different roles already, and if you've never played Y role it is based on how well X mains like you usually do when playing Y. I'm going to try and find Lyte's quote on this.

Ah, here we go;

Will "ranked teambuilder" have a different MMR/rank per role? or it will be possible to be queued with a first time mid lane player just because he wants to try a champ for 1st time in ranked?

Not for the initial launch. We'll be working on this after launch once we start collecting data like how players perform at Mid, after being an experienced Top, and all the permutations of these things. This is so when a player plays Top for 500 games then switches to Mid for the first time, we can reasonably estimate what their starting MMR for Mid should be.

Well, guess they need to collect data before they can start doing it.

maybe there should be one that auto-locks you out of playing champions you are mastery 4-5 with and force you to stick with lower mastery champs

also maybe it should keep track of your ranked choices and not allow you to select the role that you choose as primary in ranked, that way everyone is playing in an unfamiliar lane with an unfamiliar champion, but that one may be going too far, as it does stop people from trying to learn new champions from their main role, but maybe there should be something in that regard.

didn't team builder have a mechanic where your MMR was lowered based on your champion and role if you were doing things you don't normally do? potentially implement that. the only issue is that you would have to select your champion before you queue up like in TB, so it reduces your ability to change to match your team. it would be nice to see it implemented in a new queue, but i guess for now it's probably going to be stuck with blind pick
