it only requires 9 other champions, and they can be like 14-20 lol.
Draft pick requires 16 champs minimum. The difference between it and ranked is that you don't have to own all 16. You just need to have 16 available (6 owned and 10 free to plays that are different will work). And I highly suggest playing blind till you're level 30. A single ban in draft can massively screw you over with a small champion pool. Which is why the majority of people who aren't level 30 are playing blind. And hence, why queue times are going to be significantly longer for you if you choose to play draft.
