If you're not sure what to ban, use it on a common smurf champion

Now obviously the chances of this causing a smurf to to play like crap are pretty low, but it can make the game a lot less frustrating if you do run into one. Common smurf champions include: LeeSin Yasuo Zed Vayne Riven MasterYi Katarina Fiora. These are not the only ones, just the only ones I can think of right now. Most players wont object to bans towards these champions either so would don't have to worry about pissing off someone unless declared that champion.

If you're not sure what to ban, ban one of your top lane's hard counters. It's likely the best help he'll get all game.

But then again top has very little influence on the game and I could also ban a jungler with the ability to snowball bot...

So, not common smurf champs but just popular champs...

Always ban what would counter your teams current intent build.

My motto is ‘When in doubt, ban Morgana’. Because getting the afk snare really sucks and her black shield is really strong if she times it right.

Or just ban someone you don't like playing against, or your teammate's champ counters is also a good one.

I know it's implied, but people on those champs who go 20/5? Generally aren't smurfs- they're just exploiting the meta of glass-canon heavy comps that low elo is. But for that reason they're still excellent bans for the average team.

It's a good strat to follow-- ban your team's weakness. If it's all over the place, ban another laner's strongest counter.

Would recommend adding trynd to that list, as he can carry really hard in lower elo's, even up to diamond.
