Why not just add 4 bans to the current banning system
I was so SOOOOOOOOOO pumped to hear Riot was finally adding 10 bans into the game. I was also happy to hear they were not going to do it in the form the LCS currently does. Not that I think there is anything wrong with the professional and tournament pick/ban system its just that it would take way too long and too much coordination in norms and ranked.
But this picking 10 bans at the same time? Honestly... wtf Riot. I went from being sooooo happy to just sad and mad. It makes no sense. I read that post about every argument having 2 sides but I just don't get it on this one. The only argument to banning 10 champs at the same time **besides saving some time **is not having certain champs permanently banned (ahem
). LMFAO well.... isn't that cute. Doesn't the fact that a champ or champs would be perma banned mean there is a very large issue with those champions?
But this whole argument about changing the bans to all at the same time makes no sense. Hell until that one post I didn't even know anyone would prefer this sort of system. I just can't imagine a majority of the community feels that way. You already tried to ram a new thing down the communities throat when a minority voted one way "dynamic queue" then realized it was a mistake. So why not listen to the majority and use common sense on this too?
I can't imagine high elo players (I don't even know what is considered high elo these days since everyone thinks their challenger) would be opposed to just adding 4 more total bans to the current system. That way everyone gets a ban.
So that leaves this low elo debate side which I honestly find laughable. Most of the community is low elo so I guess its nice you listen to us time to time but honestly not in this situation. This whole "this way I actually get to ban who I want" argument is ridiculous. People in low elo ban champs for different reasons all the time. Changing the system won't change that nor does it add any more strategy. The fact people are pretending there is strategy at all in low elo champ select is extremely laughable. Hell... your current match making and rank system already see to it that low elo is a shit show. Changing the banning system won't change that all it's going to do is add more chaos and lead to less bans in game resulting in more annoying match ups. Any low elo player out there who currently feels "pressured" to ban a certain champ for their team is an idiot. Maybe this is a big deal in plat? I will admit I have never been plat or played in it but in gold - bronze (90% of player base at end of the season) this has never been and never will be an issue.
Also wtf.... still 6 bans on Twisted Treeline? 3v3 has needed more bans WAY before 5v5. Where is the love?
