Teambuilder Love & Suggestion
This is the first time I've been on the forums since I started playing LoL back around the time Darius was released (March 2012?). I wanted to first off say that I love Teambuilder. For a long time I had very little to due with 5v5 (Twisted Treeline, baby) because of how much trouble went into choosing champs/lanes/roles. "Mid or feed. That champ sucks. Don't play him/her. Meta or nothing." All of these were things that you avoided more in 3v3. Why I still love playing Twisted Treeline, to me the Rift offers a more in depth LoL that can add to the enjoyment and diversity. So when Teambuilder was introduced I finally got to really enjoy 5v5 a lot more, enough to get around to trying ranked play. That all being said I hope Teambuilder is something Riot really continues to work on and evolve; great job.
One small tweak I have noticed that could be helpful is to be able to stop searching for solo players and change your champion/lane/role without having to exit the Queue altogether. Say you and a buddy are building a team, you start to search for solo players and then two people join. You now have four members and are waiting on that one role (support maybe?). And you wait. And wait. So one of you decides they would be ok with switching to support so the game could begin quicker. Currently you would have to exit the Queue, restart builder, invite your buddy, add those two players and invite them. Then everyone chooses their champs/roles again. It would be great if a Capt could stop searching for solo players and yet keep everyone currently in it, then be able to change champs/lanes/roles again.
A minor suggestion that might be easier said than done. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! Thanks.
