The thing that team builder could use, aside from the option to change champs once you're on a team for better synergy, is the option to select 'Fill" as your role. teams quite often need to wait quite a while in order to get a jungler, support or ADC, adding a fill option could cut down on this waiting time. There would need to be incentives for picking the fill role like an IP boost for the game and maybe an icon.
AMYS GRAVE2 votesthis sounds amazing.
Plaisirs1 votesI like this idea but an incentive seems unnecessary.
Tin Tarantino1 votesQueueing up for the fill role would mean you were likely going to get an unpopular role, the incentive is just to help give people more reason to pick it.

Everybody would queue with the "fill" option just to get the incentive. That's why they don't implement this kind of things.
Tin Tarantino1 votesnot people who want to play a specific role, otherwise they would just play blind pick, it doesn't need to be a huge incentive, just enough to make people consider filling more. And even if everyone does pick the fill just for the incentive, it will just mean you spend less time waiting in queue if you want to play top or mid.

Might as well just go play blind pick. Problem solved
KOSHER TACO1 votesI think we should be able to take ourselves out of queue to change our champions.
Minarde1 votesI think you meant "position" rather than "role."
That wouldn't work unless you can either change champs or delay choosing a champ until after you know what you're filling. Many champs only fit in one position on SR.
2a) Incentives could be abused if champs can be changed later. Teams can't preemptively screen out odd picks. Someone could select "fill" and then unexpectedly run double-ADC bot or something. I think you can still kick, but it's potentially annoying.
Vesarixx1 votesyeah I did mean position
you would need to be able to choose champs after queueing up, there may need to be a few changes, but you should be able to swap champs once you get a team anyway, to get better synergy
2a) yeah you could still kick people, I can't see people running double ADC or anything too weird with this, everyone does still need to hit the ready button.
