10 bans... 50 bans... 100 bans

Dont you think 10 bans is a little bit too much to add during the next pre season? I mean i really enjoy playing Zed in the midlane but he is very often banned becuase of the stigma around him, even if he isnt that strong atm. With 10 bans its gunna be really hard for you to pick your main and it requires you to play more champions to a higher level. Playing more champions isnt a problem but if you just want a casual normals game with your friends then you may not enjoy it as much as you would.

I totally think that adding more bans is nessesary with 120+ champs in the game at the momement but 10 seems like to big of an increase, its almost like a second ban rotation. Moreover we are already waiting for at least 5 minutes ot get into the game, and anouther 10 at max for the lobby before ever getting into a game. This is worse in higher elo's especially, as if one person doesnt ban thn they are waiting anouther 10 minutes some times. Before more bans are introduced i think queue times need to be fixed aswell.

Here is the post if you want to look at how they announced it - http://euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/gameplay/state-gameplay-pre-worlds-updates-and-beyond (scroll down to preseason)

Your going to see Yasuo, Fizz, Leblanc, Zed, Ekko banned every single game automatically. You'll just have to get used to never seeing those champions again.

it's why blind pick exists??

Edit: Play what you want where you want.

Go look at my post on this topic, I highlight how you can make it work where it would still make these champions playable.

They need more bans simply to make the in-game experience more interesting at the moment, unless they want to work on their balance. It'll always be the same handful of champions unless we can ban out the handful.

Ten is pretty much the perfect number cause it's one per person.

These are concerns they've addressed, and I don't think they've 100% said they would bump it to 10 bans, just that they're considering it.

They probably will, but they're exploring ways to do so that wouldn't necessarily increase time to get into game, and how to avoid excessive role/target banning. Depending on what they settle on, some of the potential issues with 10 bans may not actually be issues.
