Champ Diversity Idea

What if during a match with more than one game (best of 3/5) champions selected in the previous match will be banned for the rest of the match or one game (whichever seems better).

This way another factor to competitive play will be champion pools and more strategy as teams will now need to decide when to go for their OP team comp and when to play a different one.

Additionally, this is also a way for us to keep 6 bans system as is without having to do 10 bans.

Just a thought.

it would never work, its asking to much of most played to have pools that large that are all top lvl ready to be played on the biggest stage. my other question is what do you count as diverse. how many champs need to be picked for it to be diverse to you?

He has something of a point. All through groups many picks boiled down to about 4 per role. Top for example was nearly always Jayce, Kennen, Poppy, or Rumble. I don't remember seeing ADCs other than Caitlyn, Jhin, Lucian, and Ezreal. While I understand perfect balance so every champ is viable for pro play is impossible, basically seeing the same 20 champs in play and 80 left sitting unused all tournament is depressing. I don't see a way to avoid it that wouldn't lead to some backlash from teams and sour the whole thing though.

I was just thinking it would be a cool idea but I do recognize removing that number of champions in a best of 3 or 5 could be a bit much. I do believe that it would help diversify matches by so much.

Additionally, for adc position you might need to learn all 19 of them. Your macro play should be the same because its more about map awareness anyway its just your micro that will need to be adjusted according to champion.

Now we have more diversity, more skill cap and more entertainment hopefully.

But like I said its just a thought.

Edit: 75% of champion pool for it to be considered diverse for me.
