I feel that on release champs should have to wait 10 days before they can be played in ranked, kayn had gotten through on the ban phase since no one on our team was playing him, there are more important bans. Then our 2nd pick support locks him in and says "i got this" and then goes 1/8 at 20 mins and leaves. i shouldnt have to worry about banning new champs in ranked and taking away from banning say draven, yasuo, zac, warwick, etc.
kickxter2 votesHey my dude,
Riot talked about this a little while back when Galio was reworked!
I don't know if their plans have changed or if they're still considering it a problem anymore, but here's what we've heard from them so far on the subject. :D

ReySolomon1 votesI totally agree I think they should ban every released/reworked champions for a month.
DrCyanide4 votesA month is overkill, as is anything longer than 1 patch. 7 to 14 days is the range that they should be disabled in Ranked.
For reference, the LCS is 1 week behind on the patch, then the champion is disabled for another week after that, meaning the soonest LCS teams (the ones most likely to pull off new champions) have 14 days after the Champion releases before they can pick them.
ReySolomon1 votesYeah.
archerno11 votesPeople have been opening same thread for years.It wont be implemented. People are allowed to pick anything they want.
NotSpecialDude1 votesTo be frank, I'd doubt the new champ is responsible for that jerk going all ham. Likely he would have done that but with a different champ had Kahn been banned.
As for banning new champs I'll say what I always say in regards to whenever a new champ is out.
Deal with it. Yes, ideally you would want to play him in normals to get a feel for his kit first but morons are going to first time him in ranked because people can't afford to dodge and thus easier to get the role.
Ban the champ for the first week and then resume standard banning procedure. They fact having him on your team is liability enough that it could be worth the ban.
GankMeHardrDaddy1 votesIt shouldnt even be a problem though, ranked should be the place where people play the champs they are most comfortable with
NotSpecialDude1 votesComfort is not universal. Some people need a ton of games to feel comfortable with a champ. Others, 1 or 2.
Experience is a better term, but even then the amount needed is something no man can put to a number.
All in all, don't put the responsibility on others because others are not reliable. If you don't like a champ, ban them, otherwise accept the outcome.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesI've yet to encounter a Kayn on my team who doesn't feed.
Honestly, I've had better luck simply banning him even if it leads to the player trolling (since I'll at least know to dodge at that point).
