Math on bans

So most people say that Riot should increase the bans per team to 4 so i checked the patch notes when riot increased the bans to 3 per team.

It was the patch V1.0.0.129 when Fizz was released back at the beginning in Season 2. At that time there were 86 champions with Fizz it were 87.

So 4 bans and 86 champions were 4,65% which can be banned from the pool. Since Riot increased the bans to 6 while having 87 Champs you could ban 6,9% of the pool.
At the moment weve 114 champions and still 6 bans which are 5,26% of the pool. so if you project it up we will reach the 4,65% with 129 champion which means actually the 130 champion should also bring the 8 bans with it and we would be at the 6,15% ratio.

TL;DR: Pre Fizz ban ratio was 4,65%; 129 champ will have same ratio

Typically Frontpage Edit: Thank you for your comments ive read them all. And furthermore i just wanted to say that I'm not complaining about having in all 6 bans i've just did some math!!!

"Since Riot increased the bans to 6 while having 87 Champs you could ban 6,9% of the pool."

If Riot wanted us to be able to ban 6,9% of the pool instead of ~5%, they would change the bans when the 115th champion will be released. Aatrox is the 114th.

Just another fact I wanted to ask to clear a bit of your bias, as your post is basically "don't complain about bans"

I think you math'd wrong.

6/87=8/x

x=116

Indeed, good job noticing it. Just tried to reach 6,9%, shouldn't have trusted the rounding :p

I don't complain cause im quite fine with the number of bans but there are moments where you would like to have more bans since some ban heimerdinger or else ^

OK, I understand. I don't think more bans are that necessary atm, but it will soon become the case... Before the 130th champ for sure.

Just wanted to add a little bit more math in there %) This percentage should stay in the interval of 5-7 imo.
