Idea to bring a little flavor to champion pools in competitive play

Hello summoners! This is just a thought i had rolling around in my noggin'. After watching countless LCS matches and even professional non-LCS play, i feel like the champion select has become pretty stale. Every game you can expect the same champions (gragas/rek'sai/etc come to mind at this current season). Now, I understand that the current "meta" favors certain champs heavily, but it gets kind of boring watching the same champ selects game after game. So, what i'm proposing is a change to how champ select works for these professional games. Lets say you draft a certain team for game one (keep in mind best of 5's will probably work for this better than b03's ). Once you have chosen that team set up, you should be locked out of it for at least Game 2. Lets say these champs need a "cool down" to breathe, get some water, heal their wounds, cause after all they are human (mostlyRekSai ) this would force teams to play not just Vladimir or Gragas every damn game would change picks/bans dramatically , and sort of give new life to the pro scene, while making it more fun as a viewer to watch their favorite champ be played (Teemo ) Just a thought, though i doubt this would ever happen.

I don't really like it. I have heard this idea before, and to me, it kinda decreases the value of getting a good draft, if you can't use it next game. It would make the very important skill of champ select far less valuable.

hahaha this is pretty funny, but doesnt really make any sense. 1 because summoners dont exsist anymore so the healing and stuff wouldnt make senes(i know this isnt really the point but js). and 2 if a football team made a playbook of the same 4 plays and ran them all game no one would ever say hey you cant run those plays you have to run something else. why would they have to run a different comp just because its good and is what works

Why no one picks Quinn in proplay!? I only saw Quinn being played in the spring split and mainly Huni.
