League of Legends' Fearless Draft format has revolutionized competitive play by preventing repeated champion picks within a series. However, players have identified a potential enhancement that could make it even more exciting.

The community has proposed adding a "Salty RunBack Card" - a one-time-per-series option that would allow the losing team to request a rematch with identical champion selections for both teams. This suggestion aims to preserve the strategic depth of running back the same composition while maintaining the format's overall variety.

Key aspects of the proposed Salty RunBack Card:

• Limited to one use per series
• Requires agreement from both teams
• Only available to the losing team
• Maintains exact champion selections from previous game

David "Phreak" Turley, League's gameplay designer lead, revealed that various format iterations were considered during Fearless Draft development, including:

• Complete champion reset for final matches
• Over-drafting system allowing pre-selection of multiple champions

With Fearless Draft expanding to more League esports events, the Salty RunBack card could be tested at major tournaments like MSI or Worlds to evaluate its impact on competitive play and viewer engagement.
