Eh...I Quit Season 8 solo queue. Not because of overtuned marksmen.

Not because of the snowbally nature of the current game.

Not because of toplane.

Not because despite maining toplane I still get autofilled very often.

But solely because of the imba champions. 200+ games often involving any single one of them is enough for me. I don't have enough bans or dodges to tolerate them and I'm not about to literally dictate what the rest of my team plays every game. It has gotten too ridiculous.

I've played and won top every single game in my past 20. I've solo killed them under their own tower and then taken at least their first tower on my own early on. Enemy tops have then been unable to group at all in roughly 4/5ths of those games, even the likes of KledSion. I've had a very positive KDR in the vast majority of my games as well.

Unfortunately, my other laners feed an enemy carry to the point where they just walk back to what's left of their lanes in order to not get reported for leaving. But it has nothing to do with how they played. Rather, it has had everything to do with specific champions:

Blitzcrank Tristana win because a member of the enemy team was bad enough to give them kills. Coupled with that, they snowball so hard that the game might as well just end on the spot when they get a significant enough lead. Yes, Blitzcrank is a support; he is still busted since damage is higher than it's ever been in LoL history which all but guarantees a kill per pull. They are both currently imba.

Fiddlesticks Katarina LeeSin have proven to me to be absolutely nothing but complete and utter trash over 200+ games of solo queue. Even games they get drastically ahead early in they need to fight hard to win and they still almost lose. If the game's even or their team's moderately ahead they throw. They are actual utter garbage feedlord picks. They are imba in that losses are sure to follow. Even the likes of Swain can win even games but these champions just can't this season, not in NA solo queue. The cherry on top is that they're all among the most likely champions to give first blood.

Honorable mention: Zoe; she is a complete RNG clown fiesta in that your laner might be smart enough to avoid her Q and that Zoe might be dumb enough to accidentally hit them with it anyway. Also vice versa in every aspect.

I refuse to tell my team to ban another champion AND not play as three specific champions, at least one of which they're often hovering. There being more than 2 champions I don't want to see in another ranked solo queue game is where I draw the line. Also this is early in the season; someone will start eventually abusing some other picks, either to consistently win in solo queue or to derp around and inevitably lose, making this list potentially much longer than just the 5 I have so far here in the near future. These are all zero-tolerance champions for me in ranked: I refuse to play another season 8 ranked game with trist or blitz on the enemy team or kat, fid or lee on my team, in any role.

Ultimately I'm unconvinced that Riot will make that list any shorter within the next fiscal year. See y'all.

Also not because of the forced 50% WR.
