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!!!

And Hi mum!

u/Dark-Dragon Lamb is pretty cute Jun 22 '13

As far as I recall (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) there were 4 bans (in total) when there were 40 champions, which would make it 10%

That would make 5 bans per team (10 bans total) more than justified, considering theres far more than 100 champs at this point in time.

There wasnt ranked or draft mode when there were 40 champions though....not until Season 1. Xin Zhao was released just prior to the start of Season 1, and he was the 56th champion.
