I find it meh to be honest, since I'm of the firm belief you should be able to play all roles at least decently.

I don't see how you can find it "meh"? After that I don't have to watch those darn "I MID I MID DONT CARE WHO PICKS FIRST" -dudes anymore and can queue to the role I really want to play at that moment. This is the best thing riot has announced in a long while.

Tell that to the guy who got to challenger when he could only play 1 champion.

It's not exactly surprising that people don't enjoy certain roles.

I don't think a person is worthy of being in challenger just by getting there with one champion only but that's me.

Also, I said play decently, not pro. So a person who has map awareness, mechanical skills, yadda yadda yadda should be able to play all roles decently obviously, which is something I wish everyone would strive for.

I just think this system will be bad for my belief, for new players and players that aren't that great but that's just me.

I rarely, if ever, get any of those people when I play.

So that's not an issue and I honestly doubt people get that many 'mid or feed' unless you're in bronze or low silver.

I'm not against this new system. I just think it's meh but not bad to the point of 'no, I don't want this. I want it removed'.

Edit: I'm well are of the pros of this. I guess it's just too early for me to see if the cons/pros outwit the pros/cons, respectively.

Welcome lfr to lol

And then we'll see more people locking the Support role, only to use Nidalee. Or Teemo. Or even worse, Fiora, if Riot doesn't implement pick restrictions.

Or people who chose a role then go to another lane.

:p :p :p

I saw Alex Ich play support Thresh earlier (and support Fiddlesticks). Let's just say there's a reason he's not supporting in Gambit Gaming.

Also, see Chauster's jungling performance in the S3 Spring Split.

As a leader of a group in Team Builder, you'll then be presented with players that want to play one of the roles/positions on your team, and you'll get to see the Champion they want to play and get to accept/decline them from your group.

There's no need to have pick restrictions if you're leader, but all this does is incentivise everyone to be a leader.

This Vi skin, I MUST HAVE IT!

[Rampant Rabbit]

New Vi skin is exactly like an old fanart of her.

What's the chance Riot gives that artist credit for it?

Who's to say this artist didn't actually design this skin?

[Gallahadd]

Where are Y'all seeing the new Vi skin :S can't seem to find it anywhere.

Try Surrender@20 or ReignofGaming. Both of those sites will usually have everything up on them.

I don't even with Team Builder... Looks like I'll be playing DOTA 2 from now on. No but seriously it better be blind normals only because if that shit comes to ranked I'm not even going to bother with this game anymore.

I think maybe you should have the option to use this or not. I really like the part for when I really want to practice mid in normals, and I only get mid once every 8 games or something (Unless I play with friends). Though for ranked I think an important part of it is to be as flexible as possible. It will just make climbing the ladder easier

I dont really understand whats wrong with the Team Builder, though?
I think it's pretty awesome. Why would anyone hate it? O_o

Also, that Vi skin looks sweet!

[Charge me Doctor]

Longer ques i guess. And trolls like "omg Karma is legit mid pick go fuck yourself"

Lets just streamline the fucking game even more is what's wrong with it... I might just go in it and troll people just because of how much I hate the idea. I'm all for keeping a game's lifespan longer and I have a feeling this could go to ranked and if it does then I'm done with this game.

Karma isn't a bad pick by any stretch. Surprisingly Karma can do a number of roles well including jungle.

From my experience, i've lost all games when i've seen Karma on my side. Oh, and that fucking stupid excuse "X counters me", i'm so pissed right now, because our stupid Darius top said that "Wukong counters me noobs no help report jungler" after feeding him FIVE kills. I can't promote to gold 5. I had more than 10 promotions from silver 1 after being dropped from gold for not playing for a month. Every time i get to promotion, i get leavers, trolls, clueless players that plays lol only to look at boobs and so on.

I hope that this new feature will make it to rankeds, because i will be able to wait for ~20 minutes for que to pop up, but i will lock freaking snowball top and will stomp games with it.

They said that it will initially be implement for Blind Normals, they'll take a while to test it out before deciding whether or not to put it on Ranked.

At least you have yet to lose a game while the ENEMY team has an afker.
