Bans

I was putting some thought into it and with there being somewhere around what, like 130 some champions, maybe its time for an extra ban or two?

Never thought the purpose of bans was to decimate the champion pool, always thought of it more as a means to even out the pick/ban phase so picks/bans doesn't clearly favor first pick.

Also: the amount of time it takes to master a champion hasn't really changed with more champions being introduced, which allows more bans some serious punch when target-banning a specific player. You'd also increase the likelyhood some poor schmuck is completely banned-out by accident.

More bans would also mean a longer pick/ban phase, where 2 more means up to 60 more seconds (bringing pick/bans max duration from 8 minutes to 9).

And finally: more bans could easily change a lot of champions from being 1 of 15 common bans that's playable every now and then to a champion that's just 100% banned all the time, every time. In the case of balance actually being pretty close: adding more bans essentially screws over a portion of the player-base by barring their favorite pick from ranked at random due to how the community is feeling. And it's worth mentioning: the community is full of a lot of people with questionable decision-making skills.
