Yes, I guess I was writing this more in regards to draft mode/ranked play in general. In normal games, there is technically more leeway because blink pick makes it hard to counterpick and stuff.

However, I have always seen blind pick as a means of encouraging the players to make good team comps to prepare for the random team comp they are about to face ... with the hope that you don't face your own counters and stuff. XD
