(Among others)

3 bans for player one on both teams 1 ban each for the other two players

Not that hard to do.

With ten bans, everyone still gets their one... First player just gets three. First two players could get two each, if you prefer that.

The argument for why we needed ten bans in the first place was because the champion roster has grown exponentially since the three ban system was introduced, not so that each person could have a ban (though that is a nice part of having the ten bans).

Why would you not think that should correlate to Twisted Treeline, where there are also 140 champions available?

It really doesn't.

Yeah, it really does.

Meta is so different that many champions who are fine in 5s become problematic in 3s.

I've been playing primarily TT. Meta is different, absolutely, but we don't need 10 bans there.

And you only pick 6 champions. We have 10 bans on SR because there are 10 players.

We have 10 bans because there are 140 champions in the game. Number of players picking champs really doesn't have much to do with it.
