In ranked during the banning phase there used to be an option to ban none. I checked all the updates and unless this is something about it not being noticed and they mention it next update, I'd like to ban none. Wondering if this is a bug or them just deciding its not a good idea to ban none in ranked? Maybe because it wasn't very team friendly and people didn't like it?
I hope the bug is them forgetting to put it in the patch notes.
Banning none is a fucking waste of time. Ask your team if they have another ban they'd like (hint: They always do), or ban someone obscure, or ban a counter to your team.
It's always super annoying when someone bans none.
Like if an ally is showing intent, you know you can safely can anything else in that role. Even if the most diverse roles and excluding play rates, you have a 2% chance of banning the enemy's main and netting yourself a much easier game. Probably closer to 5-8% once you consider pick rates.
And you can always ask. I play Ahri mid and always ban Fizz. Would gladly take bans on yasuo/zed/veigar/Annie/Diana/lux. Not that I can't beat them, but I do better in other matchups and if my opponent was going to pick that then as mentioned earlier we'll benefit from them not being on their main.
Oh, and twitch. Like, if you want to ban none, why not ban a cheese/boost pick like twitch jungle?
