@RiotLyte When will Ranked Team Builder come out?

So, pretty much everyone already knows Ranked Team Builder is going to come sooner or later, but when? Do you think we'll be seeing it next season, or Season 7, or maybe Season 8? It seems pretty cool and I am hoping it comes as soon as possible :D Even a simple "we cannot share that information right now" would be satisfying to have.

They've already told us here. I'll quote the important part for you:

We’ve been working on some improvements to competitive system that we want to roll out for the 2016 season. Front and center to these changes, however, is getting all of ranked play onto the teambuilder mode. You’ll be able to pick 2 positions - including ‘fill’ - to ensure you’re playing in the position you can contribute the most in. ‘Feed’ will probably not be an option, (sorry!).

So the answer to your question is next season!

And based on the brief description, it sounds like you'll queue for a role (or two roles), rather than a specific champion. Presumably, once you have a team with players assigned to the individual roles, you'll still have a pick/ban phase just like today. Of course, more details will probably surface as the next season nears.

Why I won't play Ranked TB.

  1. No bans.
  2. Mirror matchups

There are some potential issues I can see with Ranked team builder.

  1. can't create a team comp - will only affect higher ELO (not bronze where I am)
  2. can't ban champs - kinda. you could take votes on the champs to ban and the champs who get the most votes get banned (that broken champ you want to play might just be perma-banned)
