Question: Is ranked 5's going to the new simultaneous ban system?

I can see why solo Q is doing the simultaneous 10 ban system, less coordination between random people etc. but is ranked 5's going to have the pro ban system or solo Q one?

Ranked 5's should definitely have the pro ban system not just because of preserving team comps building and the "Drafting meta game", but because if league starts to separate from what the pro's are playing... whats the point. I'm not trying to play a watered down version of league. I get that in solo Q at least for lower elo players the new ban system will in all probability work out and be a nice QOL change, however, ranked 5's should be preserved and its been argued and I do agree high elo should be preserved as well.

Honestly I could see having Ranked 5's and Diamond 5+ using the pro system of bans because at that point you're playing with people you probably know and communication and strategy seem to be more prevalent in champion select. I don't know where the cutoff is at high elo but from what I've seen and heard you pretty much know who you're playing against because the pool is so small to choose from.

Of course everything I just wrote hinges on ranked 5's going to the simultaneous ban not the pro system... anyone know?

They already said that tournament draft mode will act like it does in lcs. I can't see them bringing this into flex since the problem with champ select time would still be there like they argued in solo/duo (since flex is more frequently used by <5 player pre-mades at a time). From what I've heard ranked teams were only really being looked at from the perspective of using the flex queue though with the intention that players that would queue together with the same club tag or team tag would count as a ranked team.

Sadly - glorious and super important FlexQ/3Premade-Q wont allow this. Especially since Teams of 5 still can be matched against randoms. :/

OFC! 5v5s SHOULD use tournament-bans - but with the current Qs that will be next to impossible.
