remove bans and the ability to not have dup champs in games...

ive been playing since s2 right, so i understand the occasional exceptions to having a champ banned, such as when a new champ is released and people who havent even read the abilitys play them in your ranked game when youre on your promos. or when a champ gets over buffed and wont get a hotpatch for a week or two. but in a game thats 5v5 whose the best, you give one team a clear advantage over the other team by allowing alternating picks? and the fact you cant pick a champ because someone on the other team picks it..you know how many times i get one trick players on my team and watch them be just absolutely horrible because their champ was either picked or banned?

and one might say well stop one tricking and learn to play other champs, thats great and all but i cant force others to play more than 1 champ. it also takes away from the principle of the game to see exactly who is better...so im supposed to lose LP and be deemed the worser player because i get counter picked right off the get go, ive seen terrible terrible players stomp high ranked players solely due to a counter pick,

if i que for a lane, lets say mid, i should have a fair chance at winning lp to prove my skill level. lets say they pick my main, well now i have 2 options, play his counter , which im no good at...or practice playing his counter until im sufficient enough to play ranked to be able to win, well as fate would have it, theyve banned his counter

my point of my rant is that by adding bans, by adding the ability to see who the other team is picking, by not allowing the same champ on each team, you take a game that SHOULD be based on skill, and replaced it with RNG and pregame strategy

ive had games where i que for adc and of the 4 adcs im good/decent at, 3 get banned, and the other gets picked...now i have to play a ranked game with a champ im know im trash with, or beg to switch to another lane and hope my team carrys me.

have the lcs guys play comptetitive games where you cant see champs and there is no bans and watch the true competition happen,

i just dont see how someone can earn points, proving they were better, and someone losing points, due to conditions comepletely out of their hands, thats not called skill level, thats called RNG

on a side note i usually stick around the g2/g3 elo

Go play blind pick then

Blind pick will fulfill all of your needs dude, I think it has some mmr system in the back so games are fairly even

Lol no. You're quite idiotic if you think removing bans and allowing multiple champions in normal play is a good idea. If you want that, go play blind pick, thats EXACTLY what it's there for.

It isn't a rare event for champs to be wildly overpowered. Between the different items, runes and the sheer amount of champs in the game there will always be a clear outlier in performance, usually more than one in fact. Bans are the simplest solution to this problem, they also serve as a metric for further balancing. In your scenario we would commonly see mirror matches of the most op champs of the patch, and I'm sorry but that is just not very likely to ever happen. For ranked that is, like others have said blind pick exists and it's basically exactly what you want.

you mean the team that get lucky and counter pick the other with pure luck wins?
