Bans?

Probably been said before. But I am wondering as more and more champions are made, why then are the bans not increasing??

Surely logically if there are more champions then there should be more bans?

Because, Riot doesn't want someone to ban all the most viable champions in a role. And they're right, it would be completely stupid.

Let's say someone goes banning supports. Right now, it'd be pretty stupid unless you're in the LCS or playing against friends and know who they're [probably] going to play. However, if more bans were added, say, 5, it would be crazy good. Just ban all the best supports of the meta. Thresh, Alistar, Annie, Leona, and maybe Morgana. Now almost all the main supports people play are banned, leaving just supports like Blitz, Braum, Fiddlesticks, Heimerdinger(if you can call him a supportcoughcsstealercough), Karma, Lux, etc.

Basically all the most-played, generally considered best supports are now banned and you've left the enemy team stranded unknown who they should pick to support. Heck, you've left your own team stranded unless you've talked about who's going to support and what they're supporting as.

Thing is they is Nami, Soraka,Fiddle,Braum,Blitz,Kayle,Sona,Brand,Zyra,Tahm,Bard,Lulu. So there are still plently of other champions in the role to fill it. So i do not see why they don't do it

It doesn't matter, its still blocking a huge portion of the most viable supports, the ones that do their job the best. Heck, Bard isn't even good without team coordination so he's mostly out for solo queue except in high divisions.

And no matter what you say, it doesn't change the fact that 10 bans is a fuckalot of bans. And you should honestly just be happy we have bans at all, because to be honest, there's no need for them except in games with friends, or something like the LCS where you actually know what people are probably going to pick. Or if you can figure out who someone's going to play based on their bans.

I think there should be more bans as well. Look at DOTA... Lots of bans. I think 3 for each team was good season 1, but this is season 5? More bans please, even if its only 1 more!

Honestly I think there should be one ban per player. The logic being that each person has someone they really hate to see, and allowing them to pick who they don't want might even things out a bit and stop some of the pregame arguing between who to get rid of.
