Matchmaking Adjustment Opt out?

with the SRU on Team Builder, i like many other players, have been playing a lot of team builder, and while i think team builder is a very positive thing, i've noticed that the "Matchmaking Adjustment" that T.B. Que has tends to put you with people who are also playing new champs and roles. Now, this is a very good idea, however, i don't want to be matched with others doing the same, some people might, but i don't. i don't play new champs on team builder for this reason very often.

My solution to this is adding the ability to opt out of matchmaking adjustments would be beneficial to people like me while not affecting others who want them. perhaps clicking on the adjustment icon in lobby before queuing up to disable them is one way to implement it.

Whee lets just opt out of adjustment so we will be matched up with people several skill levels below so i can just face roll them.

There are ways you can influence the team matchup by mixing people of different elos.

Letting us opt out not only makes sense, but is necessary.

What's worse than being matched with other people new to champs is that you are supposed to be matched as if your elo were worse, in the first place.

This may mean both teams are slightly less skilled than you, but it also means they have less UNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME.

This is a problem that I really despise. I try a new champ, and suddenly my team is oblivious of objectives. Sure, the enemy team is doing stupid things like imitating Pro strategy at low ranking, which is likely to backfire on them...but my own team is correspondingly clueless, so unless I can get them to follow my instructions, they collapse instead of exploiting it.

I would be better off with my normal elo and having to adapt to a new champ, than with teammates AND opponents who understand the game less than I do, making the game feel like idiotic mayhem no matter which side wins.
