The only reason I would be against adding 10 bans into the game

Is that this would make champ select longer by a few minutes. And Champ Select is already unbearably long as it is. If you do decide to implement this, please tell me you have plans to shorten champ selects duration somehow. I hate taking 10 minutes just to decide the shit I'm gonna play.

The fact that you feel like champ select is too long indicates you don't care about your team comp or counter picking when possible.

Riot cares about comp and counter picking.

I don't think a ban phase was designed to ban broken champs but more for the ability of setting up a strategy before the game even begins. In low Elo it seems like just having a comp figured out beforehand will win you games. Going into it knowing you can siege as a team or split push safely etc just causes everyone to play more team oriented. I dont see anything wrong with 10 bans as thats not even 10% of the champs and its a way to pick the comp you want and the comp you dont want to see.

how does that indicate I don't care? You could easily shorten how long you have to pick a champion by 10 seconds and you'd save almost 2 minutes, which would give you time to add more bans. I don't have a ton of time to play and I honestly get more concerned with how long it takes to find games + champ select duration than I am the game itself

why does riot want to increased the number of bans? could it be that they know some of their champions are broken and this is their way of dealing with it without actually fixing those champions

It was because people constantly asked for it for like 2 seasons.

fair enough, I do agree with you though. They need to figure out a way to shorten champ select in some way to mitigate the extra time it would take for the extra bans

Shorten pick intent by a lot, old one didnt need that you went straight to banning. Then shorten ban times by a bit for each player. Finally, reduce the time after bans because you had enough time because of the extra bans

To be fair thats how (in my opinion) it should be. It would keep people's attention in champ select.

They said that they were looking into ways of shortening it.

If they would just shorten the pick time that would be nice. Maybe like 15 seconds per player max. Time would still increase a bit, but personally I think it would be worth it because right now it feels really shitty to be first/second pick. First pick gets counter picked and second pick gets poached by opposing team/counter picked.

The only problem I see is raising the champion owned count by 4 to play draft. Kinda sucks for alt accounts.

Overall I'm still in favor of every player getting a ban though.

I don't like the idea of some team banning 5 of a particular role to hamper a particular lane.

Give 30 seconds to players to select one ban, make it like in blind pick, if someone selects a ban someone else (enemies and allies) cannot choose the same champs

after 30 seconds ban every champ each player selected, bam already picking.
