Ranked Team Builder

I've been wondering if Riot will ever do a Ranked Team Builder. If they did What do you think it would be like?

I think it would work like this: You Que up choosing your lane, playstyle, summoner spells, runes and masteries but not your champion. It will then match you up with people filling the other roles. Once you get into champ select, it will then be treated like draft, except everyone gets the role they want.

For example, say you que up selecting a mid, the game then matches you with people who are queing up as a top, jungle, adc and support. Once you get to champ select it will just be like draft from that point out, both team bans 3 champs and you choose from there.

I think it would cut down on the pregame arguments since everyone gets the role they want in the first place.

What do you think? Leave a comment!

It would only work if you chose your lane, play style and summoner spells. You would pick your runes and masteries in champ select, because you wouldnt know which champ you will be playing until after the bans. And as for me every jungler pretty much has there own set of runes and masteries.

I think it is a great idea and would minimize arguments and confusion and trolls in ranked play. Also it would be better competitive play and more organised.

Take Care,

You wouldn't have to even choose summoners. All that it needs is for every player to choose what lane, and possibly what play style but not necessarily. You shouldn't have to choose runes or masteries before hand, since those change depending on who you're laning against. Summoners can change depending on who you're against as well. If I'm against an easy lane I might switch out Flash for ignite, and run Tele Ignite top, to give my self more early pressure, or if I'm against a Mundo. Also there is a post on surrenderat20.net which is here http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/04/red-post-collection-tentative.html#3.

My question is why do you need a different set up than the one that currently exists? Like if you want to play a different type of ranked why does it need to be different than the normals for that? Is ranked 3s or ranked 5s different than normal 3s or normal 5s for teams?

I guess my question is since ranked team builder shows a different set of skills than ranked solo que, much the way ranked 3s is a different set of skills than ranked anything on summoner's rift, what is the criteria for "this needs to be include in ranked team builder" when designing a new ranked game? (Also does dominion have ranked yet bc I feel like they should if we are adding new ranked modes)

Also if you are changing the format of team builder in order to create a new ranked mode, what about adding the ability to que up for multiple roles and play whatever comes up first? Also what are the pros and cons of having to play a champ you lock before vs picking one once matched, or being able to only que for one position (like you can que for anything you want but have a different ranked MMR and league depending on what role you que up as)? I think it would be cool if we are gonna have a separate ladder for "ranked team builder" to let the ranks on the team builder ladder be split by position, so if you're in a gold tier playing as mid then your whole league is gold mids, and maybe you're in a different league as a bronze top or something. That would probably be too much though.
