More bans in Champ select

SoloMidd··41 votes·1,469 views

Long story short I feel that 6 bans total is too few for the 124 champion pool. Dota currently has 5 bans per team although I do not know the total number of heroes 10 total seems adequate. While I would like 2 extra bans per team I would settle for a single extra ban. League's champion pool is growing therefore the number of bans should as well.

Since were on this discussion, i was talking with my threes team and we each took it to our friends list and 8/10 believe it should be 5 bans, one for each player this avoids a single captain banning there lanes counters before pick and also allows for it to be more like a team from start, Banning and creating the perfect team by talking out the bans with each other, i dont think this would be an issue with the current champ pool. However for world tournaments i dont think this would be the case or youd get full team counter bans due to them seeing yur previous best champs, might make it interesting though.

Each player bans one champ. Done and done.

How about we screw pick order and use the Xerath system. Whoever has the highest kda on him is first pick and bans 123 champions. Then when he goes to pick he gets xerath causing himself to be in a 1v0 and win the game!

anothersolution would be to screw the game, bring back magma chamber, and each person does a 1v1. Whichever team hits 3 wins first is the winner

Are you kidding me? I don't even know what to ban anymore. Adding another ban will just stall it out even more. It's been a while since I could put my finger on 6 or more champions that are absolutely broken op. Maybe its just cause I have a huge champion pool and can pick accordingly to what I see, but thats my view on it. Riot has done well with having everything viable in some sort of way, except Aatrox and Olaf. Man do those guys need some love.

I agree! The more champions that get added, maybe every 5 or so, add an additional champ to ban or something like that? Really good idea, there are a ton of champions now and it's way too easy to get countered because of the restriction of only being able to ban 3 champions.

1 st of all we really dont need any more bans. Assuming you have played every champion, you can see what doesnt work well against them and use it as a counter. The 3 bans are for those few champions that you dont know a counter for or they are just way too op. In my opinion they should do at least 5 bans and let every person ban a champion.

This retort needs to be laminated and hung on walls. Such a beautiful comeback. The brevity, the wit, the implied and indirect putdown through perfect logic...Whoa, I need to lie down.

The reason I will always oppose more bans is because they breed a lazy, entitled attitude of "I shouldn't have to learn how to deal with _____," or "People should not be allowed to play _____ in ranked." The former is extremely immature and not aligned with the nature of a competitive game, and the latter is a bit unfair to people who enjoy a certain champion. Six bans seems to be the right amount for LoL.
