Allow every player to ban 1 champion, ON FEATURED GAME MODES!

I know is hard to increase the bans because ranked and balance and all those things i get it and if you are first pick you can get counterpicked easily so you get to ban its alright

But when playing hexakill or right now URF is really anoying that there is no variety of champions and well only one player gets to ban. So it wouldnt affect the balance of the game if every player could ban one champion if we consider most featured games are blind pick anyway. More variety and everyone will be happy please consider this is think is a good idea

I... support this quite a bit actually.

It does make sense within the "Blind Draft" paradigm.

And in terms of just helping to provide player relief, I do feel like in more casual modes, especially temporary ones, that everyone ends up with completely different ideas of what's OP (or at least what they don't want to deal with) and players would likely start on a better footing going into games with a feeling of control as opposed to 'welp my noob captain didn't ban _____ gg'

I do like the theory of adding bans as a general salve for some of the issues in featured game modes. TEN bans might get a little excessive, though?

Maybe but we got 124 champions i dont think it would be a big problem im sure we would see more variety, if you are talking about time maybe 2 bans at the same time but im sure that something has to be done.

One example could be my last urf game, i decide with champions to ban and everyone inmediatly start whining that i didnt ban his champ, literaly: Zed Nida Ez and Urgot Sona and Malza

(then others said other champs)

Azir Blitz Alistar Maokai Morgana Fiora Riven Cho Gath

And many more i mean we cant ban them all but people always pick those champions its kinda sad and frustrating that if you didnt ban Sona and no one in your team picked her the chance of wining are drastical reduced

well if you take out the perma ban champs in 90% of games ( Fizz Ezreal Vladimir Galio etc) then the next layer of champs as you mentioned blitz, mao and ali etc would be viable and normal bans where people are banning for PREFERENCE and NOT because of how stupid it is playing the champs that HAVE TO be banned just to stand a chance

I dont know if everyone but i feel like Zed Maokai Sona Urgot Malzahar Fizz Galio Evelynn Shaco are REALLY opresive champions that you should ban if you want to have fun, true sometimes the enemy mao is an idiot and you insta burst him but at least in lane is more than opressive. and those are 9 champions! I could easily add Kat, Karthus, Vlad and even Azir and im sure im missing some OPRESSIVE champs not just anoying at least i can say that with my experience.

10 bans is fine. For all modes. Dom tournaments have been doing it since s2 using chat bans.

Draft should do it like picks, 1,2,2,2,2,1. Blind draft could do a weirder style that makes 5-10 bans total, while keeping the phase fast. Each player locks in a ban (seeing only their allies'), then the ban lists reveal and merge into the final list.
