Does anyone even queue for this anymore? A few days ago I was sitting in queue for an hour while I watched a movie to see if it would ever pop. Spoiler: It didn't.

It's hard to justify waiting in queue for over 30 times longer than you would in blind just to counterpick and ban.
I used to play draft exclusively, and then abruptly the queue times went from 5 minutes to 15-20, without my elo skyrocketing magically. I wish I could play it again, but it's just impractical.

That is the problem we are facing right now. The times are very large and it can be just easier to get into a game in blind.

I use to do draft only but i took a LoL break for a few weeks came back to 15min q and said fook dat. I miss games without yorick or urgot

Well one thing that keeps me away from these are long ques every time i want to play i first try draft, but since wait ques are allways 15+ mins it just shakes me off of this and i go for blind pick which has instant ques :/ If all those players would just switch to draft...
