@Riot Question About The New Champ Select

Why doesn't everyone just ban at the same time?

Seems like it would speed up champ select, and I can't really think of a reason why not to do this.

@riot does not do anything, putting an @ before riot does not send the msg to riot... you are bronze 5, you theif.

Obviously, people just put @Riot to indicate its directed at Riot and not the community, don't be so uptight.

Because it gives more time for people think over what to ban. In higher levels of team play banning is usually a coordinated effort to try and target ban what the enemy players are good with and give yourself a higher chance of winning. Making it so everyone bans at the same time would reduce that timer and limit decision making.

Right now people are given 30 seconds I think during their ban phase, between 6 people thats 3 minutes of banning, I think it would be better if everyone banned at the same times and get 1 minute to ban. The reason I made this post actually is because of all the post that are asking for more bans and the people saying champ select would take too long with more bans, so I thought of this and even if we don't get more bans it still seems like a good idea to me to speed things up.

If we get a higher number of bans per team, chances are Riot will follow in Dota2's footsteps and have it so you have some bans between champion picks rather then have all bans at the start, then champion picks. If that happens, it'll likely be that the secondary set of banning won't be as long as the first set of bans, as they will be more reactionary to counter the enemy's team comp.
