I didn't think anything could be as hard to read as those massive blocks of text.

I stand corrected.

For anyone who doesn't want to do the mental gymnastics:

Team A 1st ban => Team B 1st pick Team A 1st pick <= Team B 1st ban Team A 2nd pick Team A 2nd ban

Basically, the team that bans first picks 2nd, and after the first ban, each player picks/bans following the draft order we currently have now.

I don't know why. I mean it makes strategic picking better, but it's effectively just more bans. I don't really see how doing this changes anything substantially for anyone outside of higher elo matches.

18 bans per match... that means you could ban Ashe Caitlyn Corki Draven Ezreal Jhin Kalista Kindred KogMaw Lucian Mordekaiser Sivir Teemo Tristana TwistedFate Varus Vayne Jinx

Unless you want to have Ahri Azir Bard Lulu Syndra Adc or Apc every match

There are 9 bans, he mixed it with picks as well which is exactly like Dotas pick/ban phase.

oh, I just saw ban for most of them and then just counted how many lines there were, but you could still ban all the meta Marksmen leaving bit laners with the subpar/nerfed/offmeta/other marksmen.... or an apc
