They would probably lose horribly(mostly because of Regi) but it would be ridiculously entertaining. And CLG in the Finals lets HSGG play Nida top again.
Oh, but we can dream~

ggChronicle @ggChronicle Riot just hinted that they might add more bans after Season Three in their audience Q&A.
It's about time.

It's about time. Good incentive for players to finally learn more champions as well. Nearly all of them have barely expanded their champion pool in aaaaages.
Also, you could be supertroll and use 4 bans to ban out Supports or something huehuehue

I honestly can't remember who he's played lately.  Yes, I do think Dyrus has a way bigger champion pool than most top-laners at the moment. And yes I'm a Dyrus fan and people are going to poke holes in how I've judged the other players. Just because you write down a small number of champions for a player it doesnt mean he actually has a small champion pool. Everbody listed there probably plays 3 to 5 times more champions at high level. Soaz is the biggest joke there. His champion pool is huge.
I highly agree here. Many people have loads of practice on champions they could use in their pool, but teams have to be willing to USE them. Reginald mentioned it yesterday how they played it safe, all the other ro4s eventually had to play it safe for fear of losing. This extended into today's picks, both teams were going to use their very best with picks centered around that. It was still a team call for what Westrice, Dyrus and all the EU guys played. Is it bad that some of your best champs are so binary? Probably, but you have to take risks anyway to win at this game. Passivity will only cost you.

It's about time. I agree that the Champion pool needs to be restricted, but making champ select take longer isn't the way to do it.
I'd much rather have them just choose a subset of the champion pool, call it the "Season 3 Champion Pool" and use that exclusively.
Or something to that effect anyways. It gets silly with all of the champs now available.

Just registered after lurking forever, virgin post. Hi everybody.
I feel Reginald gets too much flak for picking Ryze earlier, they tried to build a tanky sustained DPS comp that will own burst aoe after they get enough tanky items. Just Rumble pick game 2 was strange and their decision to force a fight at dragon midgame when it is obviously the strongest time for curse to teamfight.
Also hi, Chiharu Harukaze, you stomped me botlane Ezreal vs my Jax early levels today. Hard. Nice to see a fellow dominion player here

I really like the way Dota do their bans, beside pride reasons why don't riot just adopt that.

Fuck that? Not to mention it'd be bad business for Riot since their skins for any of the older champs (or whatever is limited) wouldn't be sold.

We don't know that they won't copy DotA2 bans/picks. It is definitely superior.

I'd like a more stable champ pool and I don't think I'm the only one. Business model is a primary argument against said idea though.
