@Riot, Change ban mechanic !!

MrSlowDie··12 votes·1,382 views

Something like...

X team vs Y team X = X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 Y = Y1 Y2 Y3 Y4 Y5

Y1 Y2 Ban X1 Ban X1 Pick Y1 Y2 Pick X2 X3 Ban Y3 Y4 Ban X2 X3 Pick Y3 Y4 Pick X4 X5 Ban Y5 Ban X4 X5 Pick Y5 Pick

The order may change, but the main idea is everyone has 1 P/B chance and all ban chances aren't thrown in the beginning of P/B phase

why?

  1. Because increasing the number of bans have been talked lately
  2. P/B phase in competitive plays is boring!! how many times I said "oh it's ali again, zil again, thresh again, lee again, lucian again" when watching s4 world?
  3. it will reduce the blame thing in Ban phase. Well "gg not ban cait when pick graves" or alike will be inevitable, but at least it's better than "gg not ban [insert FotM champ here]"
  4. diversity !!
  5. Why the hell the ban given to the captain? If I want to learn how to trust my team captain, I'll play doto instead, my captain can even pick me a hero.
  6. The P/B phase will be more interactive
  7. And many others that I can't remember.

thoughts?

This is too complicated for riot, they would never do it.

Smite does this easily. It works wonders for team comps.

It isn't really all that complicated for the player though first time it is your turn... ban... second time... pick that's it

they made the jungle, turret, and stat growth too complicated :/ while this new P/B mechanic, may hard to understand, but in practice it's pretty straightforward and requires players no time to understand, compared to the new rift.

like champion skin said, it's just "first you ban, next you pick"

You do not want anyone other than First Pick being able to ban. You do not want anyone other than First Pick being able to ban. I'll say it again: You do not want anyone other than First Pick being able to ban.

Why? Suppose first pick calls mid, but third pick wants it. Third pick panics and lolkings first pick and bans out their best mid laner(s). First pick is the only one who can never have a motive to do this.

I definitely support this idea or something like it. Riot's stated reason for not increasing the number of bans is that it would be too easy to ban out a particular summoner's mains. By alternating picks and bans, you can't be sure of banning someone out entirely because they get a chance to pick before all of the bans come through. It also gives the ability to ban reactively based on the enemy teamcomp so far instead of just "ban Lee Sin he's OP and they pick first."

bump, I still want this to be implemented, the ban phase is just merely "ban FoTM" phase atm. If we throw ban phase between picks, we will see more meaningful decision / intellectual ban.
