With the new 10 bans system and a new competitive meta, there is a lot of talk about champion diversity during this first week of Season 7 Spring split. Let’s take a look at the numbers:

Season 6 Season 7 Unique champions 63 72 +14% Games played 59 90 +52%

With 31 more games, we only see 9 more champions during the first week of Season 7. I don’t think we can say we have more “champion diversity”. With new teams and new patches, start of the season has always been more diverse than the rest of the split. On the long run, the 10 bans system may increase the champion diversity, but right now, it is too early to conclude anything.
