Looking for a bit of community feedback here. One of the best updates in recent history was when Riot released the Team Builder Game type. Why in the world would they force us to do Blind Draft for this new and pretty sweet game mode. Blind draft is just about the worst, game type filled with the most toxic players, beaten only by blind pick. Just a brutal decision Riot, please allow Team Builder for this game mode so everyone can actually enjoy it. Thanks!
I actually don't mind the blind draft, but I hate the fact that you need so many minion types and wins instead of just games played to get the icon.
Here's my feedback:
Agreed Blind draft totally ruins the mode. This alone makes it not enjoyable for me. I haven't played blind draft in years and I forgot what a cluster F it is when everyone tries to grab what they want all at once. Completely ruins games.
A lot of the new items are very underwhelming and poorly described. For instance, the Trickster's Glass reads, "UNIQUE ACTIVE - DISGUISE: Teleports to the target ally and takes on their appearance for 30 seconds." -- however, the so called "Teleport" has the same range as Flash. Teleport has a clear meaning in League of Legends, why on earth would you say an item allows you to teleport to allied champions when it's actually what is more commonly referred to as a blink/flash?!
The balancing of the different brawler types and upgrades is not great.
Overall, the brawler concept is a neat twist -- but forcing us to go back to Blind Pick Summoner's Rift was a really poor decision, and enough to ruin the entire event for me.
I don't know that Team Builder is the answer, but why on earth would you not go with at least Normal Draft Pick?
I can barely stand Team Builder. Seriously, how do you people survive not being able to fill, hit random, or change your champion/role because you thought of something you could do to make your team better? I'm hopeful that Team Builder Draft will fix these flaws.
As for why there's no Team Builder queue, it's because it's impossible to do bans with the current Team Builder. Featured Game Modes make some champions OP, and if they don't want to constantly disabled champions (a la Urf 1.0), they need bans. You might get a Team Builder Draft queue when it releases, but I doubt you'll get anything before then.
