League of Legends: Riot's First Impressions of The 10 Ban System

Now that the 10 ban system has been in place for a while now. League of Legends fans have been able to sit back and digest the changes. Surely your ban strategy has changed and there has definitely been a time where you have had to pick a champion you're not quite comfortable with.
According to Meddler, League of Legends Lead Gameplay Designer, the changes have been going quite well for those at Riot Games.
"Looking at its effects so far they look pretty good, with champ select times down noticeably, dodge rates (deliberate or accidental) no higher than before and annecdotal feedback fairly positive," said Meddler. "Still monitoring all of those things though of course."
So how about those champions? Like we alluded to earlier, more champions are being played and certain champions are being auto-banned. One of those is Yasuo. "In terms of champion ban rates Yasuo's has spiked up significantly, other champions look fairly unaffected," said Meddler. According to Meddler, Riot isn't too worried about that right now and said, "Will want to see how that does or doesn't change over the next couple of weeks and what the trend's like in other regions (since we're just looking at NA data for now since that's where it was initially rolled out)." Meddler also alluded to the region to region variance and said, "Pick/ban rates can vary dramatically region to region so it's possible there will be some other high ban rate cases out there, would also expect Yasuo's ban rate to be significantly lower in at least some NA regions based off historical trends."
