It's nearly 2015, and still no version of teambuilder for ranked

Oh no we might slightly cement the meta that riot is already cementing through balancing anyway

just let us queue for a role already please, then do bans and picks per usual in champ select.

Also instead of making order random, figure out some default role pick order, then implement a swap system so if you want a different order it can be done. Tada!~

Its not worth splitting the playerbase into an additional ranked queue just to allow team builder to have a ranked mode.

Also you'd need to suggest a system for picking lanes properly. Unless you mean queue for lanes, in which case you'd have people lamenting the lack of diversity in roles. Or if you have an idea for matching up a viable set of roles and a reasonable set up for lanes at the same time, while also allowing for bans, I'd love to hear it, but anything I can come up with seems really clunky.

who said we should split the playerbase, current system where you get 5 same role mains in the same game is absurd

you don't see faker being told to adc all of a sudden now do you

Pick a role and for top/mid/jg AP/AD/fill damage types, so you don't end up entirely AD or AP. As for lack of role diversity you say that as though there is some at present.

the current team builder would only work for role of course like mentioned, as for ban phase, it would be a perfect opportunity to increase the ban number and let each player ban 1 champ, instead of giving 1 person on each side the power to ban just his/her lane.

the reason why its not in ranked yet is because the season isnt over, same reason the map re-art isnt in until season ends

You're forgetting about PBE, if Riot actually gave a crap about making solo queue champion select not the most broken PoS ever they would have had at least a basic system in testing long ago. Guess what there's nothing.

I can't think of any way you could have one team use traditional draft options, and the other use team builder, without it being unbalanced. Unless you mean remove the old system entirely, which would be a fairly big change.

In the current system, people gained their ranks by being able to play multiple roles decently. Standings would shuffle around a lot if suddenly people were able to play only their best role in every game, and people who worked hard to have two or three good roles would drop while people who insisted on only playing two or three champion, all with within the same role, would move up. Because of this, you couldn't reasonably say it was the same ladder as the current system, because it doesn't take the same measurement of skill. It values specialization much more than versatility. Which is okay if thats what we'd rather have measured, but you have to make it clear that you're now using a different set of measurements, or rather, a new ranked ladder.

This is a very short explanation. Can you elaborate? It seems easy enough to check off the lanes, but how do you check off roles in a way that every player is okay with the set up ahead of time? Are you suggesting every player ticks off their ideal mix of tanks, bruisers, assassins, utility, etc? And then the team builder finds and matches people within that desired pairing of five roles? Because I'm not sure if the system is currently robust enough to handle all that in a timely fashion.

And a way better one, i'm sick and tired of losing ranked games because people troll and feed because they don't get the role they want
