With TB being replaced with Draft, here are some Draft tips:
-
As it says:** Always** lock in your picks.
-
Ban important champions to ban, not the odd pick who carried the last game you lost. Chances aren't that every Ryze is going to beat you.
-
Most importantly: if you decide not to ban a high-ban-rate champion for the sake of playing that champion yourself make sure you are guaranteed that champion.
Do not leave Darius/Mundo/Tahm Kench out of your bans if your Top/Support isn't first pick and can't trade with whoever's first pick.
**The enemy WILL pick that champion before you. ** Reasons range from never getting to play that champion because he's overpowered to feeling good about doing well with a character designed to remove mechanical skill from the equation. Either way, if you can't pick 'em first, there's a high chance the enemy will.
