Easy fix for team builder

I've had an idea for a fix for team builder for a long time now, but I didn't really think about posting in the forums for some bizarre reason. When I say "fix team builder", what I mean is reorienting it so that it works for every game mode. The way it's designed right now is fine, but it's limited to blind pick, which seems to me to be deeply unfortunate. Anyways, here's my idea:

When you get into team builder, before you get into champ select, the game asks you what role you would like to play, then it also asks how many other roles you are WILLING to play, and what they are, and then to list them by order of most to least interested. Then, LoL uses an algorithm to find the ideal match, with a title over each champ slot to identify what role they are in champ select. There can be a standard order to the situation in champ select, and because of the way it works, even though the advantages/disadvantages would be consistent, they would be even since champ select in draft pick is stratified evenly. This gets rid of the stress of pick order, since you know that if you want to play top lane, and top lane is first pick, you will be blind picking or counterpicking first depending on what side you're on, but you will also know that the role will be reversed for the next step in the draft for the other team. This actually ensures that there is a more balanced game and people don't abuse champ role ambiguity to force a more unfair matchup for the enemy. It would be better to let skill and strategy on the rift determine who wins.

Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think!
