How I think 10 bans should work for normals and ranked

So I like the idea of 10 bans, but I don't really like the way its being implemented. The whole, "everyone bans at the same time and duplicates are allowed" system would be perfect for normal to shorten the time in the lobby, but I really do think ranked should be LCS style. Chances are, if you are playing ranked, you are willing to wait a little longer to ensure all 10 bans are used rather than risk duplicates and wasting potential bans. Since ranked is 99.9 percent of what I play, I know I would rather see LCS style than the other way for ranked. Normal games can use the other system, you aren't playing normal to be competitive, so it doesn't matter as much. I do believe ranked should be different though.

Anyway, hope you all could understand my rambling. Cheers.

I prefer the current style over LCS style, although I agree that something is left to be desired.

There's not a huge deal with duplicate bans to me. Outside of the highest levels of play, there simply aren't champions you NEED to ban. There may be 1 or 2 broken champs at any given time, but overall it's a non-issue. People ban what they don't like, not what's the strongest. Or people copy pros bans, even though those champions are not even strong, let alone OP, in solo queue.

They could do a couple stages of simultaneous bans to reduce the chance of double banning while keeping it fast.

Nope. And no. Adding that length of time to champ select in a SoloQ envirenment where there is very very little strategy is absolutely reduntant. Bottom line, and I wonder how many times people have to say this, there is absolutely no strategy in soloQ banning. You dont know who you're facing and you have no idea what their popular picks are. If you want the lcs draft pick go pro

I say make ranked the same as pro style except everyone gets a turn to ban.
