6 seasons in... still same number of bans... were at like 140 champions... why is 6 total bans acceptable? why are you not upping this to 10 bans total? 5 per team? EVERY PLAYER CAN BAN 1 CHAMP.... Do you people at riot even play your own game?

So.... I'm going to ask that question that never gets addressed. Why do we need more bans? Is it because there is some strategic element that 3 bans can't offer, or is it a consequence of some other game aspect. If it is the latter, why not address that instead?

I kind of agree. 10 bans would only make sense and make champ diversity...better?

Why? Because a larger roster doesn't actually increase the number of champions that any individual player can use well, but a larger number of bans would actually require them to practice more champions without granting them the benefit of a larger champion pool (since they'd just be banned anyway). It would increase the burden on players to learn many different champions, decrease the consistency with which they would be able to play any given champion, and overall reduce the ability of players to enjoy the game the way they choose. More bans would be a terrible idea.

Large roster ≠ Viability.

Bans also differ over the ranks in league because the type of play changes. And in any meta you have around 15-20 champs that are completely viable. If both teams were to get 5 bans each, you would be left with 5-10 champs people can pick. That's not a whole lot out of the hundreds they have is it?

Even Smite which has less annoying and broken champs/gods added 2 extra bans due to champ/god pool increase. Seriously why doesn't LoL do something similar when it has over 100 champs.

It would be interesting to see if Riot would playtest this in the PBE. Check the stats and champion diversity and see if things improve.

All for an increase in bans. We're at 130 champs now. 5 bans for each side and there are still 120 champs left (provided you have them all - or the entire champ pool is open like with certain game modes). Also, no role can be banned out with 10 bans. If you only have one or two champs for a role, then start saving up IP and diversify your champ pool.

Or we just balance the game more so we don't need more then 6 bans?

i wouldnt go as far as 10. that being said, i dont think it would be problematic to have 8. a bit more bans will not change much stuff on solo queue. In competitive however..
