...in ESports.

Got a Rioter to comment on this a year ago. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/do2swmal-pbe-chat-with-the-playtest-team-810?comment=0023000000000001

Step 1: Force diversity in pro play by having up to 100 bans Step 2: Balance for the regular players. Ignore balance for the pro's. Step 3: Reduce the mobility/burst creep that is starting to ruin this game

In ESports for a best of 5... Game 1: 10 Bans like normal Game 2: 20 Bans (10 new + previous 10) Game 3: 30 Bans (10 new + previous 20) Game 4: 40 Bans (10 new + previous 30) Game 5: 50 Bans (10 new + previous 40)

In ESports for group play... say 10 teams in the day Game 1: 10 Bans like normal Game 2: 20 Bans (10 new + previous 10) ... Game 9: 90 Bans (10 new + previous 80) Game 10: 100 Bans (10 new + previous 90)

It would be interesting. Maybe all ADC's get banned and people have to pick up Teemo? Games could become really crazy and interesting.

But more importantly with the balance team not having to focus on ESports/pro's to achieve diversity they could instead focus on us regular players. Riot has literally nerfed champions with the lowest win rate in the game in an attempt to balance ESports... this isn't OK.

Only 100?

1: Balancing around "All players" is still problematic. Diamond play =/= gold play =/= bronze play, And their metas match that idea well.

2: Balancing around the higher tiers fit the glove the most because.. Here's the thing, Players Should naturally get more skilled as they play. By balancing around the lower tier, There'd be no complexity for someone to grow into, Just more champions like Garen, Jinx, Teemo, ETC.

3: DO YOU WANT 20 HOUR ESPORTS SESSIONS WHERE HALF OF IT IS JUST BAN PHASES!?

Lets look at last patch 9.11. Akali is in like the bottom win rate in Plat+ (206/207 for mid, 200/207 for top according to Champion.gg filtered by Plat+)... one of the worst in the game... and she was nerfed. Riot is clearly balancing around ESports while ignoring regular players (regular includes Plat+).
