What would the game look like if there was one item ban per team?

Promise, this has zero to do with Duskblade.

What would the game look like if each team had the ability to ban an item? Would that drastically break the game? Could it serve a strategic purpose making games more interesting?

Discuss! :D

Ban infinity edge every game. Gimp Yasuo and force ADCs to actually try in one fell swoop.

item 2049 gets banned. It'd be a disaster for vision and objective control.

item 3135 sounds like a terrible idea

that question made me realize how vital morelnomicon is

also made me realize how shitty that name is to write and makes me remember how riot renamed lux's ult because ''it had a weird name'' meanwhile this items name is even weirder

item 3036

I've always hated this item so every time I'm getting a ban it's going away.

item 2049 I'm the only one with a mini-map and allies have me (and my pings) permanently muted before champ select. At least this way I can get the other 5 mandatory items sooner. (>_>)

(inb4 summoner 3 summoner 11 item 3711 becomes mandatory on supports.)
