BG algorithm

So I have now fought in 13 BG matches where my Galan is not banned. However, I have yet to see him show up to be drafted. It’s to the point now where I’m more suspicious of the drafting algorithm than I am of other players cheating. Has anyone else experienced this?

Are you banning galan? Because your bans are global bans so if you ban theirs, you're banning your own.

Tf? When was that ever stated? It was my understanding that if I ban theirs I’m only banning theirs. When did me banning theirs also ban mine?

I’m honestly surprised people didn’t know this. This has always been the way. You both ban a champ and that champ is banned for both parties. That’s why it sucks when you both ban the same champ because it’s a wasted ban for someone.

Well, that’s stupid to me but whatever

It’s only fair. How is it fair if I get to ban your galan and I get to use mine?

4 seasons and 3 betas 🤦‍♂️ it’s always been this way.

Never ban champs you have in your deck unless you really don’t have a counter for them.

(1) Isn’t it also stated at the top of the very same screen in which you do your Banning. Every BG, every time you are selecting champs to ban.

(2) Has been like that… Always.

You not reading what is clearly states and has been this way the entire time BG has existed, but your calling it "stupid". Irony at its finest.

Season 4 bruh... still dont know that to ban a champ, it bans from both players? lol

I usually ban the champs i dont have, not the best champs the opponent has, cause if i have them too, i dont see a problem.. unless mine is like 5* and his is R4

i have r4 galan. I never ban galan on the opponent. they usually ban mine but when they don't game on! the best is both using my galan at the same time as theirs to counter their galan lol

This second part is generally my Ban strategy. There's no advantage to keeping Galan around for example if yours is significantly inferior to your opponents. Also banning a champ that is also present in your deck makes it a little bit easier to pull the specific champs you are looking for. It's one of the reasons I had Korg in my deck even before I got him awakened.

I’ve seen lots of questions like this lately. I think the fact that AW has one-sided bans and BG bans are two-sided confuses people.
