Finally, we're getting 10 bans. I've looked into the design and how every functions, and I have to say, this is one of the best implements of the season. Keep this type of shit up guys.
Update: What happens if people on each team ban a same champion? Is the ban wasted?
RiotI Am The IRS6 votesI'm glad you like it!

Did the champion you wanted banned get banned? Then it wasn't wasted.

Automated Riven3 voteswhy did you guys decide not to allow all ten bans to go through. The idea that if I wanted to ban someone and its already banned feels really shitty IMHO. Especially that any time there is a champion that is overtuned someone has to waste a ban to ensure that the ban sticks, which will result in duplicate bans without any way to safely avoid it unless someone plays that champion and is high up in the pick order. I personally feel like the implementing of this system is very feels bad man for a lot of players in the game would maybe have a few champion that they really dont want to play against will feel shitty about seeing the champion they banned, banned twice.
Automated Riven4 votesit is wasted. because in the even there are multiple OP champs (which there will be cause nobody is perfect) then that ban is wasted because it could have been appropriately used in another way. either by you or by the unknown opponent who will both feel bad about the ban being duplicated.
AMYS GRAVE2 votesIn 40% of your games now you don't even get a voice, so explain to me how having someone agree with your choice and both of you getting what you want is worse? Sure you could have banned another champion, so go ahead and ban them instead. You banned the champ you wanted to ban because you felt they were top priority. We get 10 bans so everyone has a voice in the matter, and that voice isn't taken away by someone who agrees with it. When Riven Lee Sin gets banned twice in a game you won't be thinking aww man what a waste, you'll be thinking thank god i don't have to see them again.
Automated Riven2 votesFirst off i likely will think what a waste because I could have used my ban for something else that is also useful. two bans on the same champion will feel bad. and I always have a voice in the banning phase of my games if I so choose. I may not have the final say but I am able to request if that something get banned. I dont have enough strong opinions to think to myself thank god i dont have to see them again but if I get double bans on teemo or renekton your bet your ass I will be pissed that I didnt have a chance to ban the other if I am playing something weak toplane who is abused by those two. and that being pissed will turn to outright tilt if the other champion that I would have banned without a wasted ban gets locked in.

One of them getting through the ban phase is less likely than it was before, and if you get pissed over a ban then maybe work on your anger issues or ban the champ you actually don't want to face. If you don't want to face teemo then ban teemo, but you don't get to decide who the enemy plays. If you are playing a weak laner then you have to expect to get counterpicked in lane, and no reasonable amount of bans is going to fix that.
Warlord Scrap2 votesMy only request is can ban phase be bumped up to 1 min itll still cut off 30 seconds to current champ select but give teams more time to communicate.

Very sure it 'greys out' the banned champion and whoever hit the same champion 'last' will have to pick a different one. Definitely agree on increasing the timer since its going to basically be 'alot faster' since everyone is banning at once then just one person at a time.
RiotI Am The IRS3 votesThe current plan is to up the ban phase timer to 35 from 30 seconds. I know this isn't that much of an increase but we want to try to keep the timer as short as we can while still allowing teams to work together. That being said we will be monitoring it and will be ready to react. Thanks for the feedback!
Warlord Scrap1 votesThats a significant cut in the ban phase as currently each team get 3 30 second ban pahses for a total of 6 making it a total of 3 minutes. According to the article both teams are getting a shared 35 second ban phase. Even if you increase it to 1 minute your still cutting 2 minutes off the ban phase. But thank you for responding.
Gixia2 votesThat's kind of the goal. They want champ select to go faster and get people into games faster, so cutting time out of the ban phase is intentional.
Warlord Scrap1 votesyea but 35 seconds is really short. They could easily cut some extra time out of champs and bring it to 20 secs instead of making the ban phase so short.
