It makes no sense when the only two roles that ever exist there are "Marksman" and "Support".
Unless you want a bruiser bot lane, please don't waste everybody's time by having it as "Any Role", as Marksman/Support are being brought into games that already have a Marksman/Support.
Faith Breaker4 votesThat's the point of team builder, is having the option to go Bruiser bot if you wanted. You are missing the point of Team Builder and I entertain myself being amused at your confusing problem. It's like complaining milk has lactose in it. Don't drink milk?
TheSkillist1 votes^ this though... team builder is trying new things out. off meta things.. and dont get mad about it you aren't losing anything for it if you dont like it you dont have to play it.
Lugg3 votesA definitely needed PSA. Thank you!
Matthias91193 votesThe problem is that some people will queue as (for example) Sona/Mage/Bot or Leona/Tank/Bot rather than X/Support/Bot, and then you exclude those players if you don't search for "any". Being able to pick multiple categories would help with this.
FantasySniper4 votesNo one does that, though. And to be honest, I wouldn't trust those that do.
Matthias91192 votesOkay, then don't search for them and everyone's happy? I'm just pointing out that there's at least some reason to put "any role" rather than "support".
FantasySniper2 votesI've never seen anyone queue in as anything but Marksman or Support in the bot lane - even if they're going Rengar support or Yasuo ADC. It's just common sense to not waste people's time by doing "Any Role".
IcyPepper2 votesAnd to be honest, I wouldn't trust those that do.
Why not? It states someone's intentions a little better. Tank Leona and Support Leona are mostly the same, but can have some differences.
But honestly, it's probably just more convenient to put "support" just to queue faster. Unless you really don't want a squishy support and want to find the few people who put down tank-bot-lane.
FantasySniper3 votesLike what? Both build tanky and focus on applying CC, the only difference would be a lack of Relic Shield, which is unadvisable if you're queueing into the duo lane.
It's still better to put in any role than it is to put "Any Role".
Byakuya Kuchiki2 votesNo one does that, though.
a ton do actually. stop being ignorant
And to be honest, I wouldn't trust those that do.
why not?
FantasySniper2 votesI haven't seen anyone do that unless they were already in a pre-built lobby, where your role name means nothing because you're already waiting there.
If a Sona queues in as Mage in the Bot lane, they either don't know what their role really is, or they're going to be pure APC - because you know, they did queue in as Mage, and not Support. With Tanks, it's less of a problem, because assuming they legitimately play like the champion's supposed to, they're doing it Support-like anyways.
TheSkillist1 votestank and mage are used there often... alot of people pick thresh as tank braum as tank naut as tank.
TurquoiseYoshi1 votesHonestly, Bruiser bot is better than double Marksman bot. Double Marksman is a lot more common.
Jungle Lux God1 votesI once had a situation in Team Builder where my captain had put "Any Role" for the support position in the Team Builder queue, and proceeded to deny about a half dozen marksman players and having to wait about 5-10 minutes to find a support.
At the same time, some will put down their role in the bot lane specifically how they want to support, whether they want to build AP (for mage) or tanky (for tanks).
Vayne will carry1 votesI queue up as bot lane Assassin Lulu. SOoooooooooooooooooo
