Hi riot... why does it take me 25min to find a support in TB? Could this be the reason why such a great idea as Teambuilder is so unpopular? And why is support always in the top 4 wanted positions? the answer is because not alot of players like this position. Sure, sometimes the que doesn't show supports at the top of the list but they're ALWAYS one of the top 4 most sought after positions.

We need to give a small % ip bonus to people who "fill" in teambuilder. the wait times are getting rediculous because no one likes waiting for supports in EVERY que.

Yeah, that's pretty typical of Riot nowadays. If it isn't "LOL E$PORT$ LOL", it goes unsupported after 6 months, then slowly fades away. Then, a year later, you get Red Posts saying garbage like "Well, TwistedTreeline/CrystalScar/HowlingAbyss/TeamBuilder wasnt popular with the playerbase anyway."

(and for those Rito James™ apologists who claim comparing Team Builder to map modes is apples & oranges -- fine. Compare Team Builder to The Tribunal and the Honor System. Game, Set, Natch.)

Just make a ranked draft mode with selection of your lane/role. Problem is everyone entering a team and then leaving instantly if they don't like 1 of the champions.

One of the Rioters often quotes the results of a poll they did showing that nearly 20% of the playerbase identifies themselves as a support.

I think that's either a misleading statistic, or completely fabricated. Because I don't know about you, but from the constant demand of them, that number should be somewhere around 5-10%. If that.
