I do agree that the Dota pick/ban system artificially inflates game time to the point where it can be annoying though. Although I think it can easily be remedied if solo q gets bans upped to 4 per team, but keep same pick/ban style. Then ranked 5s, custom games, and tourney realm can have a more interactive pick/ban phase. This way the I think the pick/ban phase needs to be remade, but not so simply as just adding more bans. The problem right now is that first pick is heavily favored because the other team has to ban out all the OP champions while the other team just bans niche champions the other team uses. | ||

Atm the power of counterpicking solo lanes is very high. So I wouldn´t agree at all, that blue side is favored right now. | ||

Copyright. Riot have to play those stock songs because they're probably cheap to license. You can hear the stock music on ESPN commercials, etc. | ||

I'd argue that counterpicking solo lanes means even less in the current meta with the prevalence of lane swaps to get favorable matchups. That makes having the last pick to counter has less impact which makes blue side first pick even stronger. | ||
