Proposal Bans in Tie Breakers

[Malekith]

This won't be a long post like the other proposals cause this is to easy to understand: Put the Ban system in the tie breakers.

In (almost) all competitive games they have a ban system to equilibrate the game where you can ban maps/weapons/civilizations/whatever the game use.

So my proposal is to BAN tiers before deciding the tier you want to play in the Tie-Breaker, in a snake format, so for example, if Ruiners (seed 1) and Scooters (seed 4) have to Tie-Break, this would work like this:

First of all, Ruiners (the better seed) pick if they want to start and pick 1 and 4, or if they want scooters to pick first and they would go to pick 2 and 3.

Ruiners start because they wanted to start.

Ruiners: Ban GSC
Scooters: Ban DPP
Scooters: Pick RBY
Ruiners: Pick SV

Tie Breaker for this series:

SV OU
SV OU
RBY OU

I think in this format, teams still decide a super strong tier that beneficts them to compete for the tie breaker, but balance a little bit if a generation for them is strongly weak.

I don’t see a reason to change our tiebreaker system given it has been working excellently for years.

I don’t hate this idea, but I do think it rewards the weaker of the two teams in the tiebreak because it inherently benefits a team with a glaring weak point more than a team without any. I believe if your team has a super dire slot + nobody to flex into it for tiebreak, you should be punished for that, not rewarded with a get out of jail free card.

me as myself tired and in pain so apologies if the brainthought not good

seems like this gets you tiebreaks where you see less of players in their peak tier. like you just veto a format where the opposing team has their x-0 or x-1 player and then you never get to see void in dpp or troller in rby or whatever in a tb which seems unfortunate
