Notice how the only ones defending the blind system ban in so far are:

The ones that will have their champ permabanned.

Didnt see any high elo player praising this change, even most low elo players agrees that this will only benefit Yasuo Lulu LeeSin Fizz Lucian mains.

You wanna reduce queue time`s ban? Simple, how about having 15 sec each ban? see? it was that easy to solve.

Anyone with common sense will see this was a Riot move to their favorite champions not dropping like flies in sales///

It would seem they do that to prevent the meta and/or fotm picks from getting 99% ban rates or outright perma-ban. And instead of letting the ban rate give them a call to force them into dealing with the characters who might get insanely banned for whatever reason, via reworks, changes or nerfing, they simply opted to change the system design in such a way that the worst of the worst don't appear so bad even with 10-bans.

I don't think that's the correct attitude really.

Sure, Riot may have other reasons and considerations. But much like that, there are also other slightly alternative realisations or adjustments from the 10-ban general idea extended from our good o' 6-ban that could all do those jobs without resorting to this "blind" draft that more or less defeats the point of drafting in the first place.

But what do I know, I'm no statistician nor am I a pro MLG Challenger, this is my personal opinion on what I have gathered so far, it's subjected to be lacking information and/or misinformed.

wtf? most people complaining about the ban system havent even mentioned perm banned champs aside from saying something like "if a champion has a super high banrate consistently then theres a problem with the champion design."

we are glad we can ban these stupid ass champs theres other problems with how they're implementing it thats the problem.

The only problem I have so far is the lack of ability to respond to a ban with a ban. As a support main, I find it quite irritating to see that after the bans go by, the enemy team banned MissFortune and then first picks Zyra . Blind bans allow literally zero counterplay to what the enemy team might be thinking.

Lets also think, for another example, that the enemy team bans Fiora in a normal draft. Before 10 bans, the typical (in higher elos) response is that the toplane wants to pick Galio , so you either first pick Galio , or ban it in response. 10 Blind bans eliminates this counterplay in champion select and needs to be addressed.
