Dominion Queue Types

Can we please remove the two Dominion queues and replace them with a single Blind Draft queue? Then we'll actually have bans without making the queue last as long as the game. It's like blind draft was designed for dominion but isn't there for some reason.

This has been suggested dozens of times ever since we first saw Blind Draft over in URF for the first time.

Still no word from Riot.

People mainly want this to get rid of Shaco, right? Perhaps the better solution is to give Shaco map-specific nerfs, considering how frustrating he is to play against, and how annoying it is to have him on your team (since his teamfighting sucks). Or better anti-stealth options.

Aside from Shaco, I don't really want any bans. Blind Draft with 1 ban per team? :D

On a more serious note (1 ban per team probably wouldn't work), I think Blind Draft is a decent solution if you have a few champions that are overpowered and that should be banned every game. I don't think there are any champions like that at the moment. Blind Draft might add a few problems though: More queue-dodges, more flaming in your team since someone banned the "wrong" champions, more tryharding ("They didn't ban x strong champion? Time to pick it!) and slightly longer champion select. Considering the current reasonably balanced state Dominion is in, I vote for "No". I might change my mind should I feel the bans would be necessary to prevent certain champions from breaking the game, but right now it's not needed, and I'd probably mostly spend the bans on annoying non-OP champions (like Shaco, Teemo, Rammus, and such).

I don't think anyone wants to ban Shaco because he's hard to play against.

I think a lot of people would want to ban Shaco because he can be awful to have in the game regardless of which team he's on.

Me?

I would rather ban LeBlanc.

I'd ban Vi. She's just hell for me personally to play against as a tanky AD Malz bot. Vis almost never go bot from the get-go, but the problem is her W is so OP at tankbusting when combined with her bulk and stickiness, she comes down to gank me once and learns that she can swap bot and STILL come out ahead even with the bot v top income disparity, and it ruins my closer. I don't know why she's allowed to have that W for how unkillable she is.

New Fiora built full tank is probably equally bad, but I haven't seen her yet.
