Champion Ban Increase

Simple Moon··4 votes·388 views

Currently each team is able to ban 3 champions. We all know that. It's our only chance to rid the Rift of overpowered game breaking champions. But I don't think 6 total bans is enough. Honestly I believe that it should be 4 or 5 per team. 5 might be stretching it but 4 is something that could easily be achieved. There are clear cut broken champions at the moment. Every game I have played this season has had the same insta bans. (Darius, Garen, Yasou, Dr. Mundo, Zed and Illaoi) I agree with all of those bans. I try to get as close to that list as I can when banning. With these champions unavailable the game feels less like a problem. But that still leaves a group of champions who are broken up for grabs. (Ajax, Rengar, Miss Fortune, TAHM FREAKING KENCH, Gangplank, Mord, etc.). We need 4 or 5 a side to be able to ban in Draft Mode. In ranked it's a different story. You should know how to counter pick or play as a team around those champions. But when a first time top lane (any champion) goes against a first time Mundo. Mundo will win. There are certain champions who are broken. You can disagree but they are there. And they need to be banned.

TL;DR BAN MORE CHAMPIONS = HAPPY TIME Up vote for agreement.

Says the guy who mains Yasou and Mundo. Of course you don't want them banned.

Of course I don't want Yasuo banned; he sucks now and I want the enemy team to pick him. And Mundo, while good, is hardly a free loss if you don't ban him. I'm honestly just tired of my champions suddenly becoming banned all the time, especially when they don't deserve it. Yasuo is so easily countered that banning him is literally a waste of a ban no matter how strong he is. Being annoying does not make a champ ban-worthy, and the fact that people think it is, is exactly why we won't get more bans. Riot's never going to give us more bans when we use them to permaban balanced champions that are just annoying.

I get what you are saying. I love playing Mundo, Jax and Garen but when I leave them open and don't get first pick then are usually picked for the other team. Yasou in the right hands is disgusting. Which I would assume you understand since you do quite well with him in ranked play. So when you say he can be countered easily yet still have a lot of wins playing Yasou it doesn't really match up.

I'm one of the most experienced Yasuo players in the world and I still only win with him 55% of the time. That's not really that much, and I win far more with champions I play far less. Hell, I've won like 60%+ of my Sejuani games since preseason started and she's supposed to suck.

The champion pool is way too large now to only have 3 bans suffice, it is over 3 times the original released champions.

Exactly what I'm getting at. There's just too many.
