Having last three picks to have a ban each makes no sence

Having last three picks to have a ban each makes no sence * /r/leagueoflegends

The whole thought process to have this feature at the moment is to award players who are last three picks to have the opportunity to ban one champion each since they are lower priority in that particular champion selection. That made sence only with the previous queue type. With new Dynamic Queue the rolls are predetermined, so being lower pick doesn't bring any weight at all, and is actually a good thing now, listen up now! What we should be compensating are the first three picks, as they have more opportunities to get countered, hence have the opportunity to (maybe) ban a specific champion they find the hardest to play against. Thoughts?

P.S. If being higher pick means you can get someone's champion who's lower pick, that is a low percentage case since there are only a few flex picks (and Solo Queue people certainly don't think about that and swap around as it's hard to agree for, plus not many players have a lot of champions available).

"Last picks" was more then just pick order. It meant you literally were the last ones who could pick a champion. So having the opportunity to ban a specific champ you don't want to play against when you are already going to have a lower champion pool is a good thing

It's completely fair and makes complete sense. Before the new champ select, the first pick had complete power. He got to ban all 3 champs, and got first pick. With the new system, the last 3 players get bans, because they are the last people to choose their champion. The first and 2nd pick will get their champion most of the time, whist the last 3 could get their champion chosen.

The system is made to be give all players a chance to mark their name in the game. If you're first and 2nd pick, you get priority pick, whilst 3rd 4th and 5th pick, dont get a priority pick, they get to ban champs they dont want to play against.

I agree with you that there is a need for everyone in pick/ban phase to has his role and the feeling of contribution to the development of the game right from the get-go. However, the current prioritization of last three picks banning creates this phenomenon that it is a bad thing to be in the first two picks. You get the most chances for enemies to adjust picks to yours (counterpick), and you don't have the opportunity to ban. This is an issue.

I agree, there's no reason for it now. All it does is not let me leave my computer even though I'm last in order.
