The rotation gives us 10 Champions, but then there are 6 bans and enemy Team can also choose Champion, can you even attend ranked in this case or will it be grayed out or something?

Summoners!

As the pool of available champions in League of Legends has grown since Season One, we will be making an update to Draft Mode: Draft Mode will feature six bans, up from four. These two additional bans will provide competitive players with a greater range of strategic options at champion select, and ultimately deliver a more engaging, more sporting style of play. The ban order for draft mode has also been updated to an alternating “ABABAB” format instead of the previous “ABBAAB” format. This change aligns Normal and Ranked Draft more closely with the Tournament Draft mode used in pro tournaments.

Additionally, aspiring tournament organizers will be happy to know Tournament Draft is now an available option for custom games. Tournament Draft functions similarly to Normal and Ranked Draft, but includes extended ban, selection, and trade times consistent with tournament rules.

Please also note that this update will require you to have access to 16 champions rather than 14 if you wish to participate in a game using a Draft. (This guarantees that if you’re the last person to pick, you still have a champion to play.) Non-Draft games such as Blind Pick and All Random remain unaffected.

That's for customs...
I believe ranked games do not require champs, but seriously people really shouldn't be playing ranked until owning at least 3/4 of the champions.

so your saying that if you can't enter a custom game cause you don't have the champs you will be able to enter ranked? So let's say you only have the 10 free champs 6 of them get banned and the other 4 get picked, you play a ghost or something?

If you don't have at least 16 champions available, you can't do ranked. It won't even let you queue up for it.
If it's a custom draft game though, it just won't start.

True. A friend of mine wasn't able to do a custom draft a while back because she didn't have enough champs. It was somewhat disappointing.

But with all the 450 champs out there, it's not hard to get to the point where you can join drafts.

if you have 15 champions, and 6 of them get banned, then somehow the 9 people picking before you get your other 9 champions, well **** you're out of luck.


thats why you need to have 16.
