The new 10 ban system is just a ''Grab the broken ass champions before they're banned'' system

You ban, pick, ban again, pick.

The way its set up is ''Yo grab me that champ ill pick for you'' it completely goes against what Riots trying to do because there is no set strategy. Maybe in pro play but god damn.

All the bans should happen at the same time just to drain out the pool.

"Maybe in proplay"

Isn't this being used only in proplay to see how it works out?

yup. they specifically said they dont know when they will bring it to normal ranked play or if/when they do how it will be changed to make more sense. it could very well end up with all bans up front. or you could still use it in the system they have. if they pick orianna, malphite, blitzcrank etc you can ban yasuo so they can't cheese you with the ulti wombo combo.

implying that Yasuo wouldn't get banned regardless of teamcomp xD

Imo theres no point in 10 bans if 4 bans are happening after the first pick phase

Apparently there is because Riot somehow came to that conclusion.

I don't agree with it but I'm willing to see where it goes.

It is only in pro-play at the moment because it relies on the new client.

They can easily handle any technical issues that occur during a tournament but they aren;t quite ready to replace the legacy client for regular players.

They spread it out to give people a chance to see their enemy team comp. So if you strategize you can throw a wrench in their plan with more bans.

I fail to see how this is a get the broken champions first if bans come first. You really think people won't ban those champions?

"We believe that offering more bans will encourage deeper champion pools with more individual champions seeing the Rift - and that it’ll make a fun and engaging draft phase for fans to watch."

^ That's horrible, man.

In every game I play, I'm that type of gamer that only use 3 - 5 characters, no more. Because I have to dedicate time (which I don't want) for other characters. Meanwhile, I just enjoy the characters I use.

Yes, I have used and tried other champions in League. But those champions lacks the fun I enjoy playing my champion-pool. For example: Rengar is a really good champion, but I don't see myself "maining" Rengar, or Kha, or Shaco.

I survived playing Sheik in Melee, because that was the character adapted to my style. I survived playing Assassin (in Diablo 2) and Sorceress, because those were my style. Juri in Super Street Fighter 4 (although I like Akuma and Chun-Li, but Juri was my confident one). Zergs in Starcraft. And so on...

I hope they don't ban all the supports I use, because I'm not comfortable using Alistar / Braum / Blitz / whatever tank, like I am using Thresh / Lulu / Nami / Raka / Sona / Janna / Taric. I rather go an AP champion I know how to use in mid (and I'm not fan of those). Meh.
PD: Like Zyra, Annie, Lux, Orianna. (With Support Items, don't worry, I'm not full-AP).

I hope they release more Supports and I feel comfortable learning those.

I'm worried, sorry if I sound like a troll. Is more like a "I've already tried them, but no." :(

They broke up the ban and pick phases.

https://am-a.akamaihd.net/image?f=https://news-a.akamaihd.net/public/images/articles/2017/10_bans_coming/Pick_Phases.jpg&resize=640:

  1. 6 Bans
  2. 6 Picks
  3. 4 Bans
  4. 4 Picks

Considering our current system has 6 bans followed by 10 picks, I don't really see how this would change anything for the worse.

Shadòw1 votes

it is only used in proplay this way so stop posting shit before reading

GarthBrooksXD1 votes

Um there is still 6 bans before any picks can be made, so looks like an improvement to me. only thing is it will be very very very annoying when someone dodges a game now.
