5 Bans per team opinion

ClickClackk·Apr 15, 2017·8 votes·664 views

I would love to se 5 bans per team. The reasons behind this:

The amount of champions , there are currently 136 champions in league of legends, soon to be 138. We've only had 3 bans for a long while.
Gives ALL the players a choice to ban away a champion.
They are already doing this in professional play, meaning a system is already in place to support a 5 ban system per team.
Shouldnt ranked solo/duo/flex be the same as competative play?
Players who ban might not be up to date with problematic champions, who most players probably would agree deserves a ban.
I think it will help the overall balance in the game.

Thoughts?

Revised pick/ban for regular play will come somewhat later than the changes in organized play. We’re still assessing what style of pick/ban changes makes the most sense for regular games, given the different circumstances (unfamiliar allies, lack of information about your opposition).

Shifting to 10 bans still has a lot of appeal, in particular because it allows one ban per player giving each person equal agency in the ban phase. Goals of bans are somewhat different though (e.g. you’re not banning the unusual pick you know the enemy team likes to run).

The amount of time it takes to get into a game’s also a particularly big concern for regular games, given we’re already getting a lot of feedback that time from pressing ‘Play’ to actually starting the game feels too long. Some of the options we’re looking at include reduced time in champ select as a focus as a result. We should be able to talk more about our thoughts on pick/ban changes in regular play early 2017. In the meantime if you’ve got any thoughts on pick/ban, whether in pro or regular play, please do let us know!

I'm just interested in seeing the ban rates and how Riot will react Personal guess is that Yasuo Fizz and Riven (just a sample, a few more could be on here) jump to like an 80% ban rate because so few like playing against them.
