I think a good amount of the outcry about normal draft is because people (even in unaffected regions) do not trust riot's decision making. It still took an entire season to get soloq back. Deleting a queue in one region seems like the first step to deleting it entirely.
I can understand that concern, but some regions (such as Japan and Oceania) never had Normal Draft because of concerns about queue health. This is just keeping with that philosophy - in some regions there isn't a large enough population to sustain it. I know it can suck to be one of those players who did love it. I think it's like being in love with a restaurant that doesn't get much patronage that eventually shuts down.
I do think we erred in not providing more context. I understand that the message came across as "Yo, we smarty people at Riot don't like Draft, so you're not getting it either, and clearly we must love Blind, because what other choice do you have?"
