"Three bans, we can make this work"
"Man there are a lot of champions that i'd like to ban"
"Oh..I'm not first pick. That's okay I'll just ask him to b---"
"Aaaand he bans Urgot, Poppy, and Ashe."
Yup the ban system is clearly fine.
Dreadlocks22 votesThree bans would be plenty if Riot knew how to balance their champions lol

Hibeki2 votesthanks for the bump
SquirrellyOtter9 votesI think given the ever-growing volume of champions, Riot should give us more bans.
Hibeki5 votesWhen this was implemented, you could ban 10% of the champion population. Now you can ban 5%. And half of that is what YOUR team gets to decide, and it's all decided by one team captain.
So out of the extremely slim chance you get to be first pick, you get to ban about 1/10th of the champions that are ban worthy.

6 bans per side would be crazy but honestly would be pretty fair. I don't know what effect it would have on LCS tho.
Honestly I don't know why it can't be a voting system. They did it for all for one, allow it for bans. Everyone just clicks the champ they want to ban and the majority gets it. A tie would random between the two and then auto ban that champion next turn.

That should not be a priority issue at all. The pro scene should ALWAYS come as a secondary focus when community concerns are expressed. They can learn more than three champions if they're unhappy which would create more diversity. That's already a plus!
I would agree that 6 bans is a bit much, but each person picking the champion they don't want to see in-game is probably the best idea we're going to get. We wouldn't be blaming the trolls that want to ban urgot, poppy, and ashe, and the fresh 30's will need more champions (therefore more time playing the game) before they're allowed to play ranked, and for the impatient, that's more RP purchases from smurfs. Everyone but trolls win - so everyone wins.

6 bans per side is 10% of the Champion Pool
Kitten of Evil4 votesHey Poppy is OP late-game. Or would be, if anyone ever picked her.
Llanite4 votesIt doesn't matter if the roster has 100, 200 or 300 champs. People only main one or two champions, period. More bans increases the risk of losing one's main and kill his performance.
lDontLiftIcarry1 votesthats a lie I can play any lane and with 3+ champs in every lane and I'ma jungler dude. So yeah.............................
Llanite1 votesThen either you're taken x3 more time to rank up, or a jack of all trades.
lDontLiftIcarry1 votesNo i'm diamond again. got back there just fine on my KR and my LAN(previously NA until last year august or september..idr..) but yeah.. it wasnt hard climbing. Elo inflation is annoying but other than that. I'm back to diamond.
Its important to learn every role.

I've legit seen those bans before.
Kobila20001 votesSame here.
disregardable2 votesI actually banned Ashe once this week. She's really annoying to lane against, and I didn't think the enemy team was going to pick Nid or Ahri.
Popstar Ahri2 votesthere should be 10 bans instead of 6 tbh
junglerboy161 votesWhat's your problem? Haven't you seen the power of a late game Urgot ADC Poppy support lane? The playz are real bruh.
AmazingGoat1 votesThe real issue is that champions with burst and mobility are ridiculous if they get ahead. They are fine if your team is smart and doesn't let them get fed, but all it takes is one bad team mate who gets caught out a couple times and all of a sudden you have a 2/0 Katarina ready to get a triple at dragon.
Guineasaurus Rex1 votesjust happened in my game. All i wanted was an annie ban but instead got 3 bans i'd never pick and annie wrecked us
Junkο1 votesAs somebody who plays Urgot and Poppy, Urgot is broken early game when you play him top lane, sometimes even mid lane, land 1 E once you get a Brutalizer and enemy laner has to recall. Poppy is just... Poppy. AFK Farm till late game, then press R on support and get a Pentakil
A Slime Appears1 votes1 ban per person is not only a really obvious solution to this, but the time of the ban phase could be shortened. All in all a great idea. So Riot will never do it.
lDontLiftIcarry1 votesrandomized first pick. Thank riot for that. Are you gaining elo? are you 300+ mmr above your first pick? Well screw you :^)
Killer X 121 votesMan, you better watch out. Next game they'll have urgot mid, poppy top and ashe adc and you gonna get rolled. lol
Bard in a Diaper1 votesKeep 6 bans or make pick order go by MMR again. Pick one.
I don't get why riot insists on fucking everyone with all their changes
Quepha1 votesbans serve no purpose in ranked queue because you don't know what your allies or enemies play. you are as likely to ban out your own teammates as you are to ban out the enemy.
