Picks and Bans
I have a question about picks and bans. I've been apart the League community for 3 years now and the evolution of the game is amazing and all, but the picks and ban phase are still sloppy compared to the LCS and I know we can't compare these two scenes together but this is just a question.
I've been wondering about this one major thing, LCS teams know the teams they're playing against and they can study them, see they're most played champions, and watch they're game play with specific characters. Why has this not been implemented to the standard game where we can see the names of the players we are up against, look them up on one of the many sites that exist to see they're stats, see they're most played champion and ban away anything that they can easily win with?? I'm sure this was brought up many times, I hope, for patches and updates to the game, but this would add another layer of counter play and could possibly cause a large percentage of the community to actually become great players and get them out of low elo to higher elo or even challengers or masters. I just wanted you guys to know about this and I hope this isnt just all for nothing I would really like a response back from one of the many developers for this game for an answer to why this level of banning hasn't been implemented into PBE ranked or even brought up since I've started playing.
