Fearless Drafts are invigorating League esports, and I don’t want to go back
Riot Games has shaken up League of Legends esports with the Fearless Draft system, an experimental format introduced in this year’s regional splits—and so far, it’s been working like a charm.
In a best-of-three series, League players can ban 10 champions each match, but now, with Fearless Drafts, any champion they choose in match one becomes unavailable for the rest of the series. This takes away meta champions over time and forces pros to get deeper into the woods by choosing uncommon picks. This is a great change of pace in the competitive space, and I love seeing forgotten champions appear more often on stage—and my only issue is that Fearless Drafts won’t be in every major tournament this year.
