Good idea for a new form of banning phase. Team captains for each team that ban 5 champions each.

This is just an idea I need no real recognition. I hope someone takes the time to survey it.

I call it Team Captains, just like any sport there are leaders. Working off of the idea of your honor system that you've implemented into the game, you can determine the most honorable players are the ones who gets first pick and get the privilege to decide what the 5 bans are. What this would be stopping is multiple things such as useless bans or toxic bans like banning an allies champ just because a person doesn't like seeing that ally. I know it wouldn't stop those 2 scenarios all the time, but limiting them would be a very positive impact on the game. Another positive impact would be more objective communication such as counter pick bans. Knowing that the most honorable players are typically the ones who either do their role excellently or "carry" in games, I believe that this could lead to much less low elo toxicity and people saying they're "hard stuck".

I think giving people who are consistently showing negative behavior could lead to a spread in negative behavior. It only takes one person to ruin another persons day so that person ruins everyone he/she comes across in a domino effect. Maybe I'm being over ambitious all I can do is ask you to think the idea over... I hope someone does. I hope someone listens and has at least some concept of this taken into consideration

Below is what sparked my forum post was a bad game. No need to read further.

I ( AdamOurHero) just had an awful game due to an ally ( jax-mid- "thirstyBadger") banning my most played champion and choosing to be toxic, refusing to communicate/group, and feeding. You've already made great progress with the honor system and the ability to mute pings, emotes, and chat. I believe soon enough your game will make yet another greatly progressive move for its community.
