[Dumb Ideas] World Championship Picks

Rew711·Oct 21, 2014·2 votes·594 views

We've noticed that some champions never get picked anymore. But in the Championships, we really don't see them anymore due to the meta. Why not add a small yet very crazy feature to the championships to make it more enjoyable for the audience? Why not make it so that when a team choses their champions, they cannot use those champions again in another match? Or the ones they have banned either. This does not go for the losing team as their champions and others not chosen to be played or banned as the winning team will still be playable for that team. So that means, as they rank up, they cannot play the same guys again. That means that now there are only 113 left. Or, if we want to, we can add the other teams in, but without the bans to allow 10 less meta champs. Now there are 111 left to play. The only problem is it makes it harder for teams. But this is the championships, so they should be very skilled at more than 3 champions. To me, I don't care, but I feel that something could be done to allow more champions like Garen to be playable in a World Championship.

I don't think it's a dumb idea. I had a similar thought.

My idea:

In the group stage, I'd like to see each team play a best of 3 against each team in their group.

6 bans in Game 1 and Game 2.

Bans are cumulative.

Game 3 would be a draft, with the champion pool being only the banned champions from games 1 and 2.

In the Knockout Stage, I'd like to see best of 5 games.

6 bans in Game 1, Game 2 and Game 3.

Bans are cumulative.

Game 4 would be a draft, with the champion pool being only the banned champions from games 1, 2 and 3.

Game 5 would be a blind draft, with the full champion pool.

Might be a bit too extreme though.

Not trying to sound stupid here but I got so lost when I read this. Not that its dumb, because I'm pretty sure that this makes A LOT of sense but I don't understand... Well, sort of. I understand the meaning. But with only 3 bans, and 5 matches; there will only be 15 bans in total. At least for one team making the last match have a total of 30 if both teams haven't already banned the same champions. That still leaves a good amount of unplayed or unbanned champions. At least, still over 90.

What my dumb idea was is that if someone chose Blitzcrank in match 1 on a team, he can't be played again for the remainder of the championship for that team as a whole. Then in the second match he goes as Thresh, now Thresh and Blitzcrank are unavailable to the team until the end of the match.

This also goes for many favorable jungle champs like Gargas. They will have to go as another jungle, hoping that the one they want does not get banned.

This will make matches gain more suspense and bring with it a need for more skill when going to a championship rather than just maining a champion for a month or 3 months to get ready to play in the championships.

A true adc must be able to play as Lucian and also as a Teemo. A top bruiser main like Zac must also be able to play a critical GP. A mid lane Akili must also be able to play a mana using Zillian. And supports don't just go tank like Braum, they also need AP too like Soraka. And junglers should be able to play as a Trydamere and a Trundle.

The more champions you can play (very well) should be what makes you a true pro. Not the runes or masteries; those only help. I can play my Graves, Udyr, and Taric mains with either just a small lifesteal, little bit of armor, or just a small increase in AD and win.
