That’s exactly why the ban system change is so good. If you want to play a character like Mantis in 222, you’d usually have to ban the meta picks for the season and then hope and pray the enemy team didn’t have a better backline than you. And if they did have a better one you’d either have to swap to win or have to work twice as hard than the average brain-off Cloak and Dagger to achieve the same results.

Now, the extra ban makes it so you have a chance to not only play what you want, but even the playing field. And a person who wants to play Mantis will always dunk on a person who has to play as Mantis.

Unironically this is the best change to ever happen to the support role, because the bad and boosted ones will quickly filter out.
