Concept Idea: Champion Double Ban System
This is a weird idea. It isn't a Champion concept, or an item concept...or even a game mode concept.
No it is a concept to change something in the game, that we use in Draft/Ranked/etc.
The Champion Ban System
As of right now, the system works and is fine. But I say fine very loosely as I feel it needs an update.
League has an ever growing pool of playable Champions, and while not "all" of them are meta/viable, they are still played to some degree (maybe against bots, I don't know).
The idea is very simple. We add in a secondary ban phase to the aforementioned game modes.
What do I mean?
Well when we play currently, we go into a soft pick phase, followed by the ban phase, followed by the actual pick phase.
If we added in a ban phase before we soft pick, it would allow for more control over who we don't want to see on the battle field.
Now I have no idea if this idea is feesable with League as it sits right now, or how much work it would take to impliment (if it is feesable).
It isn't a perfect idea. I don't have all the answers on how it would work, Or if there would be any changes to the ban phase we have now.
But the system we have now needs a change or update as it is slowly becoming obsolete. What happens if we keep what we have and we get to Champion 200? That would be 5% of the playable pool that we can ban. 5%.
Again yes, I am fully aware that not all Champions are meta/viable, but that changes at the drop of a hat.
