150 champions, 1 ban?

I think we are reaching the point where 1 champion ban per player is not enough anymore because soon we will have 150 champions. We should be able to ban 2 champions per player and if everyones ban is exclusive, there still remains 130 champions to be played. At this time we have.. -Sylas -Akali -Diana -Pyke -Sett -Zed -Aphelios -Draven -Kassadin

...who are in my eyes problematic, overpowered if you will, and I know your view may differ but I still think that we have way too many champions for a player to only have 1 ban. Feel free to discuss!

Make it 3 bans. I'm not even joking.

With how the game is, even though there are 140+ champions, the game feels there is only max 40. I may have not played a normal Summoners Rift game but I promise you if I do (be it blind or ranked) I'll encounter assassins. Last time I've laned vs a mage (which is my favourite matchup btw) was like a year ago.

2 each sounds fair. Ban one bad matchup and then ban one stupidly OP champ.

If it's gonna be 20 bans per game, then it should start with the standard bans at the start, then a second wave of bans after the first 4 picks.

While I sorta disagree with creating an even bigger gate to ranked (you now need to own 30 champs to play) with an even greater chance of being banned out, it's undeniable that there's tons of shitty matchups for everyone and truly annoying champions that Riot allows to remain as-is.

eh maybe 20 bans is a bit too many (actually its not but you know) maybe give every team a total of 8 bans, where 3 randomly picked members on each team can ban a 2nd champ.

I think all the bans should take place at the same time so all ten bans don't overlap, not have 20 bans or there will be no playable mid laners lmao
