New League of Legends competitive format: Fearless Draft
Fearless Draft will be the new competitive format that each of the professional teams will be going through once all the leagues and the seasonal tournaments kick-off. This mode forces players to pick up new champions in the game, by banning the picks that were chosen in previous games during a best-of-series.
This will bring more champions in play, and no team will be able to abuse the same team comp.
