5 BANS (EACH PERSON GETS A BAN)

Quad·2/11/2015, 6:42:50 AM·1,083 votes·67,743 views

I normally do not think of good ideas but this one is truely amazing to me and all my friends agree. Each person has a personal least favorite champion to play against. Mine is Leblanc (I am pretty sure everyone can tell why). I feel like it would be so nice to give every person in the game one ban at least. People that get to ban all 3 champs have all the power. You tell them to ban Nasus and Leblanc, then they ban poppy, urgot, and ashe. What do you guys think?

It would give more players control over their opponents in lane (or you could donate bans to other lanes; even though I main ADCs and supports, I hate seeing assassins so I'd probably keep banning those guys even though I'd never lane against them), and ban ten champs instead of only six.

Part of me wants to ask for more than one ban per person, but maybe I'm just being greedy.

I'll sign.

This... this could work. It would stop troll bans; it would allow players to ban their pet hates; it could potentially push out META champions; it would provide incentive for teams to communicate more constructively in champion select; and it would take away power from first pick.

I have been supporting this idea for a while now. :)

How Ranked Champion select will look if this goes through.

Player 4: Top Player 1: Sorry, I Top. *Player 4 gets salty and decides to LoLking player 1. * Player 4 notices that player 1 only plays Irelia top. Player 4 Bans Irelia. Player 1: Wtf, why did you ban my champ? Player 4: Oops? But don't worry, I'll fill Top for you, bud. C:

1 ban per person is a great idea but it probably will never happen. Lots of sheep will cry because they can't pick there op champs every game. Also, the required champs to join ranked would up from 16 to 20, which I believe would be a good thing. But, most people would cry about that to.

I like the idea for one reason in particular: So you don't get the kind of person who just bans who you want to play.

Seriously, it's happened twice to me, so I've stopped answering. They ask who I plan to pick, I think they're asking to help complement the choice, then they just ban them right away and laugh at you about it.

That should be its own category for reporting. That's such a horrible way to kick off the next 20 minutes with someone who has no intention of helping his team, just making it as miserable as possible because it's funny.

These people are the worst scum of LoL. You show them goodwill and faith, and they laugh at you for it. And no one on your team can do anything at all about it except sit through the next 20 minutes. How there is no vote-kick option, or any option to deal with someone whose sole intention is to make his team sorry to be there, is astonishing. It's staggering that this and other pre-game issues (e.g., people who never connect from the start, people who don't approve of your "noob champ choice because they suck" and are hopelessly toxic all game, or people who didn't get the role they wanted so they either feed or go afk right away) hasn't been dealt with in any preventative way, just reactively, after the damage is done. But that's a tangent beyond the scope of the thread, so.

So, if only to prevent that from happening a third time, I'm all for it. But I also realize its fairness, of course, so I'm for it in that way, too.

What if im red team last pick and decide to dodge?

What Is Smite2/11/2015, 3:56:52 PM5 votes

I will sign, I don't want people to feel like they have no power in champ select and I hate the fact that First Pick will troll ban the entire team

Signed. Great idea, and definitely needed. 1 ban per person.

Bixits2/11/2015, 2:44:18 PM5 votes

I would like that but Riot would say no because instead of the required 16 champs to play ranked you would now need 20. Might be a good thing though, people have to grind for the extra IP (hopefully getting better in the process) before they can start ranked. It would be nice though. Every lane getting to ban a champ they hate playing against.

CupcakeTrap2/11/2015, 5:46:30 PM5 votes

This would speed up Champion Select considerably…but I do see one problem. What if both sides ban the same Champion? You might need some mechanism to deal with that. Otherwise, there might be weirdness where people play this headgame of "I won't waste a ban on Lee, because everyone bans Lee, but what if they're thinking the same thing, and neither of us ends up banning him, but if I do…"

It just got implemented (feels good man).

It's an interesting idea, I'd be behind it.

Takahashii2/11/2015, 4:05:21 PM3 votes

I've been thinking 6 bans are not enough given the number of champs in the game now. 10 bans seems reasonable. In competitive, it allows one team to target ban a lane again. I don't care if I get a crack at a ban though.

slippykitten2/11/2015, 4:52:45 PM3 votes

Riot wont do this. They deny it constantly, but they absolutely love meta. They love to watch the same champs in lcs over and over, they love to see their big plays champs in almost every game. You think there would consistently be 50+ champs that are completely unplayable if riot actually wanted diversity?

Jamatrix6662/11/2015, 6:43:27 PM3 votes

I approve this idea for multiple reasons:

  • First of all, depending on the lane, we all have at least 1 match-up we really don't want to have to deal with, mines are Nasus/Teemo Top, Katarina/LeBlanc Mid, etc... This would allow everyone to play a more interesting game without having to deal with their counter or any other obnoxious champions.

  • We would have a total of 4 more bans, which would indirectly push players to pick less played champions. General variety in the champion picks would be increased and that's an excellent thing because, to be honest, I'm quite tired of seeing the same 3-4 champions for every lane.

  • It reduces the chances of trolling from the player who currently has the 3 bans now. It would feel more fair, less based on luck.

yes please! This would mean that the "viable" champs would be less played, meaning more variety . Riot should at least make this a fetured game mode.

Riot you cant keep ignoring ban requests. You will have to answer one day or another.

InvaWalker2/12/2015, 5:41:50 PM1 votes

This would also help combat the trolls who bans a champ that a team mate wants
