The scaling ban is just a loose idea. It's because of LoL's nature in requiring you to unlock champions. In a sense, it has been Riot's consistent "excuse" as to why they won't touch the ban number. But if you ask me, it's a dumb excuse because newer players shouldn't even try ranked matches, in my opinion, until they are prepared. Having a decent champion pool is one step in getting prepared.
