Make Team Builder more flexible

Just a thought on increasing the viability of Team Builder. Why not allow the champion select option to happen after joining a team? You would select your lane and position as usual, but would choose your champ after joining a team. Or at least be able to change champs after joining a team. The nice thing here is that you would be able to create team comps that would be able to synergize better. For instance, if you find yourself with an AD top, jung, and mid, you would be able to change your comp so that you had more mixed damage. It would also allow for better team construction on a whole. For instance, if someone came in with support shaco, they could be given the option to change, or defend their choice, instead of being insta kicked.

Just a thought.

Now i see what youre saying and i agree because i've been thinking the same thing--too many people just select the very first thing that pops up thats a current meta picks regardless if it will actually work with your composition then they end up with a busted team composition that has nothing to work off one another. This is due to impatience and how long you typically need to wait to find Jungle and Support most of the time.

But the point still is to selectively pick what you see you want beforehand. Your particular idea would make it even more biased and kick happy. If people see you queuing for Teemo ADC, at least youre giving people a heads up beforehand so they can judge if they want to add it to their team. But if you join a team first without revealing that youre playing outside the preferred meta, you would just be kicked anyway.

I agree that TB needs some strategic refinement, but there's a better way than that.
