No Downvote pls It Is Only a Suggestion
The 10 ban system has been out for quite a while now, and I must say it's a little better than before, because now everyone just bans who they have a poor matchup in (or Draven Zac Yasuo because meh)
The thing I don't appreciate about it, is that it feels like a freebie to people who don't want to learn a matchup, and ban them because they lost to them a game before
That's why to have a little suggestion to make, hear me out because it may or may not be a little confusing.... or a lot idk
So what I propose is simple, but im gonna explain as much as I can
When you get into champ select, it's the regular normal hover over your champ, so that your team knows that bot is going to feed with GP adc followed by Nunu support. The normal 15-20 seconds should be enough time for this.
Then, once that timer ends, a new timer with a total of 40 seconds appears for both sides, but here's the catch. One side can't ban, but the other side can. You're probably wondering why I would say that. It would basically be like 6 bans right? Wrong, incorrect. Everyone can still ban on that side, so the 10 ban system stays.
Once that side bans the selected champs, or run out of time, it's time for the second team to ban. But it comes with a catch. They can't see what team 1 had banned, completely hidden. Team 2 is able to ban whoever they want. However, if team 2 were to ban a champ that team 1 banned, it would unban that champ, and it is free to be selected. It seems a little unfair, but think about the fact that there are champs that are unplayable because they're always banned.
Once team 2 finishes their ban turn. All champs banned on both teams show up. Like o said before, of there are duplicate bans, that selected champ is unbanned and playable for the game.
Why would this affect games? It would make ban phase a LOT more important, because you have to think what the enemy might NOT be thinking. It's a mindgame for both sides. Will someone from team 2 counter ban my 0% wr Yasuo? Or did Team 1 ban Draven, and I shouldn't take the chance of banning him? But at the same time he could not be banned.
