With Leona coming out and the rising popularity over the last few months of Singed, Cho'Gath, Nunu, and Warwick as "main tanks", as well as the "2 offtank" metagame instead of the "one main tank" metagame, having 6 tank bans won't be a terrible thing as both teams can still cope quite easily.

True, assuming that people have tanks they like to main. I do love Cho Gath and Singed, but they are the only 2 tanks I'd consider myself "ready for ranked" with. Jarvan too I suppose. I do acknowledge the number of OTs and Leona (ON THE WAY) that can make for solid options if something like a 6 MT ban game occurs. But just because there are tanks available doens't mean people can play them as well as they might be able to play another tank. @_@ It'll be interesting what ends up happening, I'm not a complete debbie downer on the subject. But I've come to believe you can never underestimate the stupidity of human beings. Especially when the game of LoL is involved.

Yeah, if you ban the main " op " champs you run right into these champs.

In DotA there were 10 (or 8, I don't remember) bans if I'm correct. Anything above 4 would be great. I'd vote for 6 or 8 bans (3 or 4 for each team)

I know that HoN has 8 bans and that seems like a really good number, not too many where you can ban all good/annoying champs, but not few enough that you can't ban anything but the op champions. I think it is important to find a balance where there is enough thought of "oh, I don't want them to have this champion", rather than "this champ is op and obnoxious, let's just ban him"

Any one care to start a thread like this or something similar on the official LoL site? I mean why not try and get it going?

Personally my vote goes for 4 each team so total 8.

I have a feeling it would just get flamed out with people QQ'ing about banning to many champions.

I vote for 8. We need A LOT more bans seeing how champions are constantly released. At this rate, we're going to need it. We needed SIX mid-season 1.
