I am pursuing a bachelor's degree in professional sports, obviously. I didn't know about it until you told me, now I'm finding that the median pay rate is like $1-5m/year for baseball players, so I'm going to just do that.
And I only play League at night because my primary job is hooking, and that's hooking primetime.

Well, lol, you kinda have to assume the other player is in the same position so you get Rusty amumu vs. rusty udyr.

3/3 ban phase 1/2/2/1 pick phase 1/1 ban phase 2/2 pick phase.
Job done. Still 6 bans and whatever role is targetted is obviously picked in the first pick phase, no problems whatsoever with removing a complete position.
You make timers legit (not doto here have 30 mins of reserve time) and theres no issue.
Why are people saying riot dont want to add more bans because it would "delete a role"? Maybe if you have 10 bans at the beginning it might cause a problem.

Because people are asking for 8-10 bans, which requires 10-12 meta champs to not fuck a role over. Also, that assumes that none of them can be moved outside their role.

Lol what? It would be so rare in solo queue, and if there were all 1 role there probably be some guy who is all about bringing back some old champ.
In 5v5, you're own team needs to conspire against you, for this scenario lol.

I have to go with unseen on this one. 8-10 bans, provided only 6 are at the beginning before a pick phase, changes absolutely nothing and requires no more "meta champs" then the current system. 6 bans -> oh jungle was targetted -> pick jungle before next ban phase.
Any more bans at the beginning is stupid, which i think i already half-said. Theres a reason dota does it the way it does. For riot to refuse outright because dota does it would be extensively stupid considering their game is a clone of it to begin with.
Ban/pick/ban/pick is just the way it works in mobas. There is no other option after a certain point. (e.g 100+ champions to pick.) Riot are just being pigheaded.

i remember the good ole days when it was 4 bans, and garen sion taric and mummy were all of them

I think this discussion has happened a thousand times in this forum. In fact Yango most likely has prewritten responses for it. At the end of the day it won't happen until Riot decides to let Solo Q and competitive league be separate. They'll want the two to seem similar and will never do interwoven bans in solo q due to their Hero model(Also complexity).
This is unfortunate as they will never ever have niche heroes or strategies become a thing without a way to protect and react in the draft phase. On another note I hate how people call for more bans due to the hero pool. Interwoven bans has nothing to do with the number of heroes and everything to do with adding in more potential in the draft phase. The difference between 70 or 100 or 200 heroes is hardly the reason why they should change the draft system.

I've thought for a while it should be upped to 8 bans total.
The champion pool is just too massive at the moment banning 6 of 130 champions really doesn't have much of an effect at all.

I consistently see 4-6 jungle bans in soloq, if only because of low elo staples like Blitzcrank.

If you main jungle that should be an advantage for you...

I still feel like increasing bans just kills innovation at the pro level. If there are 5 bans/team then you get to bust out your cool new champ for one game and then it gets banned every game after that.

This is a pretty huge misconception. It actually increases innovation if it's done interwoven. The reason for this is with just upfront bans there is no way to protect a champion or strategy and there is no way to try deny one. Everything is banned before any actual gameplan or strategy is forming. That is why you always see standard bans and picks. Even the "niche" picks you see are more often than not actually pretty standard while not changing the overall strategy by much.
Another big misconception is that a champion by itself is innovation. Support Annie at worlds was more a fad than real innovation. You can tell this by the way Royal used annie compared to what most other teams used her. Royal almost always laned her mid with a strong jungler and deep wards in order to facilitate strong aggressive jungling and rotations. Side lane annie was actually a lot weaker and for lack of a better word ruined the whole reason for picking her but you still saw most of the teams use her like this. The real innovation was not annie but the use of her in the mid with aggressive jungling. It's entirely possible that his gameplan might have worked with other champions instead of annie.
