@Riot could we get an ETA or your current stance on implementing 5 bans into regular ranked?

5 bans have been part of pro play for a while now and I for one really don't want to have to wait until the mid season update for them. Thus far the only issue in the system is the duration, which can be quickly fixed by everyone banning at the exact same time. It's really that simple, besides people don't usually react to the other teams bans, we just tunnel vision our own bans to ensure our most hated foes never make it onto the rift. It would function like blind pick with an addition. Upon entering champ select all players have 15 seconds to lock in a PREFERENCE! (not a PICK!) that they would not like banned by their own team (this is not visible to the other team). Everyone would then select a champion and would have 30 seconds to ban it, once you ban you can't take it back and change it. As champions are banned they're greyed out (not removed from view as this causes confusion when people try desperately to find said champion) but they're not greyed out when hovered (so you can't see what people are planning to ban, smart people won't even hover bans to begin with). In order to highlight trolls, if a HIGHLIGHTED champion preference is banned by the selected players' team, the banning player is then highlighted with said champion next to their name for the player (who wanted to pick it) to see (they can report them post game for griefing/trolling). In all honesty this system would need to ignore new champions and would only, as the system already does, punish repeat offenders.

If a player DOES NOT ban a champion. The highest ban rate champion not yet banned by the rest of the players will be automatically banned unless it has been selected as a PREFERENCE!, in which case it keeps searching down the list until there're no hits and BAM! insta ban.

By having this all in 2 short, swift processes it will be even faster than current banning phase. And if you believe the time is too short, think of it this way. You have 1 champ to select and 1 champ only, I'm placing my bets that any given player is going to ban only one champion of their own preference EVERY SINGLE GAME! unless someone else wants it.

Edit: WHY THE HELL IS "chi nk" A CENSORED WORD!!!!!
