In 2009 there were 42 champions, we had 6 bans. In present day, the number of champions has more than tripled. 42 x 3 = 126 In 2010 there were 66 champions, we had 6 bans. In present day, the number of champions has more than doubled. 66 x 2 = 132

Currently, after the release of Camille, there are 134 champions.

I admit, it would be ludicrous to give summoners 3 bans each, but even if you did, it'd leave a pool of 104 champions to choose from. I think it's very reasonable to ask that each summoner get 2 bans each, leaving a pool of 114 champions to choose from. But still, that isn't what I'm asking for.

I simply request that each summoner get 1 ban in draft. 10 is only 7% of the current champion pool of 134.

6 is 9% of 66. Meaning, back in 2010 (when I started playing), you were sacrificing a higher percentage of champs and giving all that power to one summoner. Meaning, a top or mid laner could legitimately ban their 3 worse counters for an easy lane.

6 is 14% of 42. Meaning you allowed a 6th of your champion pool to made unavailable.

Each summoner getting a ban would also make for less hostility between teammates in champion select. Even with 3 different summoners banning, there is still a discussion over who should be banned and when the top 2 picks are in disagreement over the bans (I personally like to get rid of Singed or Teemo just because they're annoying), the flaming begins. This can be reconciled by giving each summoner 1 ban, creating a healthier gameplay environment.
