How's draft pick/ban going to work with champions you haven't unlocked yet?

do you dodge? lol wtf happens then?

they said they have answers for weird stuff like that but "its not ready to be discussed with the public yet"
whatever that means
you have to be 20+ to play ranked anyway, so id hope they have more then just the free champs

i'm not saying it would happen every game...
but when it does. what then?

Wait, so right now I just play premades with 2 other friends at the moment. Would I be affected by this? Is 3-4 premade completely removed?
|
you don't have to play in the ranked games, you're still free to play regular games as is right now.
|
Regular games: Tryhard optional, with however many friends you'd like.
"Solo" ranked: Tryhard with yourself or you and a friend.
"Premade" ranked: Ultrasuperdupermegatryhard with a full team.

I wish they could eliminate the hero mirror matches from regular games, but I don't think it's possible with LoL's business model. You'd need twice as many free heroes per week.
|
I dun get what's wrong with mirrors. technically speaking, mirrors are the only "fair" setups without inherent imbalanced caused by team composition.
|
Naw redtooth, mostly the people who don't give a fuck would be left in regular games IMO, because the e-peen factor would pull away every player who thinks themselves as good.
I see "solo" ranked being the dodge for an hour.

To clear up any misconception:
Solo/duo ranked will be draft mode with no bans
5 man premade queue will feature bans and picks
3 man premade (for TT) will feature bans and picks
Reasoning is 5 solo/duo queuers more often than not will not agree to ban the same champions.
|
I don't get why they are banning mirrors from 'competitive' play when there can be a lot of diversity within the characters. An AP Shaco is going to play completely different than an AD one and when you factor in all the differences from runes, summoner spells, and masteries, you can have 2 distinctly different styles of play.
Of course, I don't have experience at the high level yet, but the whole thing seems rather silly to me right now.
|
Well most heroes don't allow diversity. Theres not that many heroes out there that can take on multiple roles.
|
well, that's not true, but it's also besides the point.
the point is that they have chosen draft mode, which only really works with champions being removed as they are drafted.
|
sure enough wra, cornsalad baddies up my game. 
1-7 blitz with just over 30cs in 28 min, and hooks their shen into us multiple times durring team fights =[

Sigh.... servers seem to be acting up again, T_T

winning 4v5:
![[image loading]](http://i47.tinypic.com/2j4zyav.png)
snowflake disc'd at lvl 2, came back when after baron when we were knocking down inhibs
the bro was messing around, sold boots for MORE HEARTS OF GOLD
we still won

when I was playing with my roommate on my smurf last night, our Blitz kept pulling Rammus into us, it really sucked. Pretty much the only reason we lost that 4v5... My 20-5-17 Nasus can only carry so hard .
