Would Riot consider disabling Morde/GP for the next stage?

Basically the title. Morde and GP seem to be a permanent ban; would they consider disabling them to give the red side a fair amount of bans?

More important would be the question why they didnt nerf the 2 champs before worlds... its not like it was a secret that Morde and GP are beyond broken atm.... disabling them now is just too late... once u fucked up your game balance and started worlds u gotta stay with it... also Juggernaut patch.... why on earth didnt riot wait for AFTER worlds with such patches.... its like teams play their hearth out an entire split just to go to worlds and notice riot changed the entire game and all the effort the train u had during the split is basicly good for nothing. Such changes that are changing the meta should ONLY happen between splits and AFTER worlds....(basicly 2 times a year) pretty sure Riot doesnt understand what they do to teams with those drastic bs changes.....

Morgana on the other side seems to solo carry games and having her on the team is basicly free win.... i dont get why Teams dont ban her and even more dont get why shes not consistenly getting picked.

They did, at least for GP. Another 10% armor penetration on his barrels.

This is why DOTA 2 is 10x better than league.

Yea, because they have more than just 2 champs that can solo carry games...only about 15-20 >.>

i don´t think they´ll do that, but i wouldn´t miss them much...though you could add elise to that list.

Honestly, I think Morde is a pretty bad ban. The couple times he's been picked he's been pretty useless (both wins but against teams everyone was beating anyway and neither Morde game had Morde himself being all that powerful). Sure you can't really beat him in lane but he goes on to be pretty shite later unless you feed the living shit out of him. More to the point, it's pretty obvious no one's really practiced him anyway, so letting him get picked just gives the other team an opportunity to fuck themselves over. A targeted ban is probably far more effective.

This seems like bronze 5 logic

They didn't last year with Alistar and Zilean. There is precedent for them not doing so.

It could also screw over the teams playing. They will have prepared for those bans, they will have strategies planned around GP and Morde bans. They have had weeks to sort it out. Changing this now wouldn't be fair.
