The plan is still to investigate possible pick/ban changes after the pre-season. Making changes to pick/ban is dependent on the new client, so until that's ready we're looking at other things first.

Are you possibly dragging your feet on adding it because of how it would effect certain champions? If there were 10 bans, I highly doubt we'd end up seeing Yasuo anytime soon. Not only that, but with the assassin update right around the corner I wouldn't be surprised if the play rate for Talon Katarina Zed were to skyrocket and their ban rates would go up to compensate. But hey, that's just my whole conspiracy theory here.

Actually the play rate might go down, because with the rework coming out soon, unless they main the champion or along the same lines.

There will be less people who just bought the champion to play them, or continue learning them if everything will change.

Now once the update hits live, then the play rate goes up, the ban rate goes up, and the win rate goes down.

This won't happen because, totally unlikely the mage update, they didn't exagerate with those champions and no one of them will be instantly god tier as the patch goes up. Katarina will be very hard to play, talon is not op but just a particular champ, zed is NERFED. So it's all okay for now.
