Blind pick with bans

Man I sure would love to have blind pick with bans. Sometimes I really just want to play a character that I love in a normal game without getting immediately counter picked to death. Right now I basically have to choose between getting counter picked or fighting overpowered champions because there's no bans. Makes me sad ='(

This was actually the mode that URF was played from( Without the awesome buff of awesomely buffing), and it was amazing. Personally, I feel that normal draft( and by extension ranked ) should be changed to blind draft I like how blind draft showed you what the enemy team picked, after everyone had picked.

Teams would have to think carefully about whom they ban, and you could first pick counterable champions like katarina.

Like, let's say I'm second pick. I want to play TF mid because he's one of my favorite champions. So I didn't get to ban, but I didn't get to pick late enough to see their mid. So, I say "screw it, I want to play TF." so I lock him in, say I'm mid, and next pick they go Zed or Talon every single time. If I was first pick I would ban Zed but I'm not, and captains don't always listen when you ask them for specific bans.

The other choice is to go blind pick, which is fine with me, but then you don't get to ban. I don't know about you guys, but I can't fight Nidalee every game. I'll lose my mind. I need bans. Please make this a thing.
