Edit: Or they could just say eff it and make 15 supports with hooks so you can't ban them out. I regret saying this, they just might. | ||

But with that reasoning of league. thats 50 champs for 5x10 roles. Wheres the other 60? They basically openly admit to having 50%+ of their champion pools worthless and terrible  Technically you should have 15-25 viable champs per role so 10 bans would mean nothin but thats not the case. I think at the very least 8 bans would be good. Dota style or not. Btw dota style is what, 3 bans 2 picks 2 bans 3 picks? Cant remember only played a handful of games. I remember liking it though (the ban order)I also think that banning 10 champions of the same role would literally NEVER happen. | ||

Another retort you can make is that you'd need both teams to "collude" with their bans to make those situations happen (while letting all the other OP go through and that'd probably just create a lot of rage so people wouldn't do it—or it'd make people quit the game and kill LoL hue). But, most importantly, with 2-phase bans you'd be able to see it coming if the opposing team focuses its first 2-3-whatever bans at a specific champ pool or role, react to it with your first picks (albeit with limited options) and then be done with it. Riot's argument kinda makes sense in a "worst case scenario" type of thing, but not realistically, and there are means to go around those problems (like, bans in 2 phases). | ||

my last game could probably make a 2 minute long one by itself (we won, but it was bad) anyone know if there's an online replay repo? | ||

 so please don't take my description as an official statement from riot it's entirely possible that the pick and ban phase will be changed with the onset of more champs, but like i said, i definitely see the logic with their decision for now. i mean hell, i only play like 10 or 11 champs; several junglers, a handful of top laners, and then a single mid/support/adc decently. a lot of pros only play 4 champs competitively. being able to completely ban out a player or role is like the definition of anti-fun haha. "great i either have to play something i've never played before and ruin the game for 9 people or i'm forced to dodge or troll." lose-lose situation | ||

Naturally it could be said that that would decrease the overall skill people have with the champions as their attentions are spread thinner, but still.... If I go purely from an entertainment perspective it's clear a more varied champion pool that's getting played would be nice, but competetively that's probably not an option. But ideally different champions would perform well in different setups, and there wouldnt just be the 2-3 different sort of champ for a position (say agressive/divey, defensive, all-round or something) and 1 absolutely best at each of those. I'd personally like to see a tournament go something like bo5 with bans or bo7 without where champs that have been picked/banned cannot be played again in the next match. Would let us see teams with interesting new setups, see some strange champions, and damn, perhaps it'd even let people find out some other champs that are good then the handfull that are being played over and over. | ||

"We don't want to enforce the current meta, but we can't increase the number of bans because support or AD players might get banned out of their role!!" eh | ||

It's valid but there are flaws to it i think. Say you have 10 bans, but 2 bans / 2 picks / 3 bans / 3 picks. Like someone said earlier you'd be able to see who they were trying to shut down / what role and just pick it at the 2 pick stage. So in a sense, it would work out because your getting 1 pick to shut down their bans and another to pick the OP shizzle of the day. I guess it wouldnt work with soloQ though, which is the downfall, but having it in 5's and tournaments would work i think, teams could easily theorycraft / practice in scrims + 5's and get their gameplay practice from soloQ | ||

Basically I believe bans should NOT be a part of team strategy to the extent you guys seem to want it. Counterplay should come from your own plan and not from bans. Man up and get good enough at a champion to beat other peoples signature champions. | ||

Something like Dota's 2 bans, 3 picks, 3 bans, 2 picks. would be the best, IMO at least. | ||
