Why doesn't anyone pick or ban Zed or Yasuo in LCS?

Seriously? Whenever I play a game, they are 90% ban while they are not even considered as a possible pick in LCS?

Because they are soloQ powerhouses but generally terrible in LCS because LCS players are not potatoes.

Because those champions get countered easily. You have to build an entire comp around yasuo to make him worth a shit.

yasuo and zed are "selfish champs" maybe they can carry a solo q game but not the good team fighters lcs competition needs

they are too risky for pro play.

they're not that good against coordinated teams that actually know how to play the game.

Petition for Brand jg to replace Elise jg. If you haven't tried it...I swear if you combine nidalee and elise, and make the champ able to teamfight...there u go.

Because in pro play they know how to focus and how to properly cc champions... they have to be clearly strong champions to be played in pro play (which they currently aren't or haven't been in a while... Zed was a this season for a brief time but feel off)

Eh, idk. I main zed..and I've been able to make him more than useful in teamfights..and aiding the team in general. Using W+E to slow an enemy to help a teammate retreat..rushing the ADC with ult to immediately take them out of the fight, then bouncing back to do some mad AOE dmg with 2 shadows..Zed is very capable. but then again I havent played at LCS level with zed..lol

players take into account role and team comps.

Zed would never survive in the current LCS meta, As also a 1v1 duelist that split push, he would get into quite a lot of trouble versus Ekko Lissandra And these champs would actually cancel his usefulness Gragas TahmKench Malzahar

they got slightly nerfed, so now pro players think they are useless. which is kind of sad.

Didn't Darshan mention something about Yasuo being a pocket pick or something a little while back?
