Ranked Team Builder

You know what I'd love to see, at least try. I would love it if Riot made a new kind of matchup. Team builder only for Ranked games. Choose your lane, ban 6 champions like normal ranked, and then select your champion, and then play your game. Personally I think this would be great because it would negate all the usual squabbling over who gets what lane. I have played ranked games where one person said "I get top or I'll feed" and those several people did not get the lane they wanted and they fed a lot. Stuff like this makes me really mad because I want to play to win. I want to make a career out of playing games, but in order to do that I have to be good to interest my followers and to create a substantial following. When I play ranked games and people do this I will lose my points and eventually be demoted. Recently I was promoted a division and then had one such feeder and was demoted after losing that game. I am now struggling through my promos in order to re-attain that division. In the end of this post what I'd like to encourage Riot to do is give my idea a try so that people will always have the lane that they want, and to avoid intentional feeders as mentioned above. If you like the idea please give it a thumbs up so that it'll grab Riot's attention and maybe we'll be lucky enough to have a better playing experience in the future.

The current pick and ban phases make sense for ranked teams, but actually makes no sense for ranked solo queue. The pick and ban phase is designed with the idea that ban, picks and counter picks will be used as part of the gameplay strategy. This requires all 5 players know and agree what positions they will play ahead of time. This makes no sense for solo queue where you are put with random teamates. It should be redesigned so first you are matched with a team where you can agree what your positions are then you move to a pick and ban phase.

The best way this could possibly work would have to just simply have players choose their position/role ahead of time and continue the normal pick/ban phase after that.

Please note the length it would take to start these games. Nobody queues support or ADC in team builder and id rather not wait 25 minutes to get into a game that could be shorter than the wait.

Not to mention, you now have 5 people picking 3 champs to ban. How you do propose those bans get settled? Pick the average amount of same-champ bans and go with that? Also with a ranked team builder it'd be blind pick ranked, with no chance to counter pick. Seems like it'd create a lot more problems than it would solve.
