[2.5.18]Banning pick RMK, about time.

[Balls`n`Nuts]

So BP has been out for 2 years now, hon has increased the hero-pool from 65 heroes to the current 101 heroes.
As it is now, BP relies on blue and pink to be the best players in a game of 5 vs. 5. Typically this is not the case. (One could argue that nova is a better player than chu)
I suggest spreading the bans between players on each team and adding more bans.
This should help the current metagame and make the banning phase more useful for competitive teams.
This should also make solo Joining up more viable not leaving the decisions in the hand of one player.
After all this is a team game.

What do you guys think?

[londoahv]

Adding more bans would be nice yes, however splitting the bans between players gives absolutely no gain to premade teams, only solo queues. Bans with premade teams are usually discussed anyway, so it has 0 impact on wether blue or orange bans the hero previously discussed. And even if you solo q into BP the blue/pink usually does take feedback from the team as to who to ban (at least the people ive got to the same game with have listened)

Not very worth the time to implement it imo.

Usually competitive teams have one "drafter" that does decision making, so spreading bans out onto every player on the team is hardly beneficial to them, but rather more annoying.

[Balls`n`Nuts]

How many bans do you guys think would be appropriate? I am thinking 7 simply because of the huge pool increase.
I do think it would make a difference in noncompetitive play, In competitive play the drafter would still make the decisions simply by telling other what to ban.
I find people are often selfish when they ban and this would definitely balance things.
I might be brown in some games, but i got 2k game experience, meaning I am more than able to decide bans even if I am brown.

[Balls`n`Nuts]

I see your point btw, but I still think it would be nice to increase bans in BP

[Sherwood]

I'd agree with increasing the # of bans only.
If you're RMM for BP you should accept that Pink/Blue might not be the smartest. (Like with how in AR you should accept you will get a rubbish hero line up).

[The_Gobber]

nice idea i'd like the idea of more bans.
when i ban in games i always think there is too many heroes you dont get the chance to ban with only 4 bans
so high-five from me!

[Balls`n`Nuts]
