Summoners!

Weā€™ve heard your feedback, and as a part of our ongoing commitment to making League of Legends an even more fun and awesome experience for players of all preferences, we are officially introducing Draft Mode into Normal Games! Now you can play like the pros without any impact on your ranked rating!

For those unfamiliar with how Draft Mode works, at champion select, each team has one player that is designated as the captain. The two captains will then have the opportunity to ban champions from play. Following the bans, teams will then take turns selecting the remaining champions, with every choice visible to the opposition so they can counter-pick as they see fit. This type of insight makes for more well-rounded matches and reactive gameplay.

Prefer regular Blind Pick Mode? Not to worry! Blind Pick will still be an option in Normal games.

Best of luck in the draft, summoners!

I for one am definitely for this. Curious to see other's thoughts.

mm, the thing I hope for most right now is that they make people able to ban 3 champs instead of 2. I don't think this was a bad idea but I'm not supporting it, it makes it even harder to play a champion that you'd like to play and the only reason why people would play blind pick now is to play champs that always get banned or if they don't have enough heroes.
I'm back!

After my last draft game, i'm thinking about banning shaco every game until he gets remade.

Played against blitz/shaco/Tryndamere/Oriana/Rammus, and as Rumble, i went top vs Blitz.

Shaco stayed in my top bush from the time i was level 1, to the time i was level 8.

If i barely accidentally walked into the bush i would instantly die.

It was less an issue of "omg shaco is raping my team" and more an issue of Eve, you can't safely farm with a shaco on the other team.

At one point i used R on a bush, and then walked into it, and died because of boxes.

If shaco was limited in the number of boxes he could place, i wouldn't have a problem with him at all, but right now they do way too much damage when nested.
Tri lane for life.

Sounds like old Garen QQing when Garens would just sit in the bush forever
Just dont go in the damn bush or even get a vision ward if it bugs you that bad

I like the new draft mode because now people can go play serious there and blind pick is (hopefully) more casual
Although since LoL actually started getting into big tourneys and stuff recently I've been losing interest in the game
I'm barely ever on here even. People just playing super serious all the time and assuming constantly that they are awesome and everyone else is a noob. If someone dies once people will rage and QQ and whine and ***** until I want to kill myself.

Its got to the point where I played Udyr in two matches. I got some good ganks in at the start of the first one and carried HARD. Guys telling me how good an Udyr I was etc.
Next game. Team keeps pushing constantly, harder to gank lanes, stronger jungler. Having to cover lanes as people as losing them. I get complained at for not ganking. For dying when I do gank. And as soon as one person started complaining it was all my fault and everyone QQed at me for EVERYTHING even if it was there own fault.
I still carried at the end but one person told me halfway through to uninstall LoL because my gank at bot failed.

People need to learn to chill more in this game. Hopefully this change to normals should do that.

You'll always find over serious people looking to scream at you imo....

But I just love draft as it adds a lot more tactics even if I am not able to play as a champ now and again...
