Forcing me to ban is annoying and pointless

I queued up for ranked and get into queue. Gonna pick my usual "none" pick and then i see Aatrox in its place. Now this is just gonna be a rant but I'm gonna lay down my truthful thoughts regarding this.

"Not banning anything gives the enemy an advantage"

No it doesn't. Especially when you want me to ban someone just because. This just shows the extremely poor critical thinking skills of the average league player is. I don't ban any one because I want to play against everyone. The only thing that banning off of your, the person complaining, whim is that it gives you piece of mind. Basically it gives you an excuse to not be toxic. Which is pathetic. Any champ that they have access to our team has access to. So no, it doesn't work like that.

"At least give someone else the ban"

This isn't communism. Just because I'm not using something doesn't mean I want to give it away. Me not using it COULD be exactly how I want to use it. I want more range. I don't care about low elo players complaints because all they ever do is go to champion.gg, watch high elo streams and deduce that those specific champions with the high winrate or that gave that YouTuber or streamer issues is going to be OP in their games. I do not give two shits who care is op. We are both bronze/silver so chances are whatever logic you used is full of shit and probably and if you do feed consistently to this suddenly OP champion you are probably the issue and i'd rather you dodge. You aren't friggin entitled to my ban. If I ban/banned none it was no reason for you to become a toxic a-hole and start to tilt the team.

"But X is so OP how can you leave them open"

I'm telling you if I was banning anyone I'd rather ban these low elo killers because you consistently feed against them rather than the flavor of the month.

"What good reason do you have for banning none?"

If I have to ban the OP picks to climb that just means I'm not really better than the people in that elo so I don't deserve to climb. The Iron Man philosophy paraphrased. It makes pregame is extremely simple when you can't accidentally ban your own or your teammates pick.

"Well haha, jokes on you. It's removed so in the end we win"

No... not at all. By removing none all you did was make me have to go back to what I was doing before: Troll banning. Ivern Azir Ryze Trundle are all pretty good options that I'm pretty sure have a pretty low likely hood of actually affecting the game. This was always an option. The "none" option is just more e

So what do I want you to get from this semi-rant post? Complaining to Riot that someone used a feature that was put in the game, being toxic because people don't use that feature on you and tilting your teammates because of that is entitled behavior. Every patch, every nerf request every QQ every insult at riot. I hated the playerbase (or at the least the boards) for acting like spoiled children but when you actually get pissy at me for not wanting to play the game how you want to, in a way that does not inhibit your experience then your more or less dead to me.

Let me just put what I need to say bluntly. Most of you players than whine are less intelligent and mature than you think you are :/ and you're probably gonna be the death of this game. Not riot.

Forcing you to ban, has no effect because you'd rather be a detriment to your team than give them a chance. You assume your teammates are moronic feeders before the game begins.

Forcing normal people to ban makes them think about counters and comps. It makes them work together with their team to eliminate threats and win more.

OP is wrong, this is a good change.

The only time I ever understand people not banning is in norms where it's made to practice. The banning phase exists for a reason and is part of the game, whether you like it or not.

I'm fine with people not banning anything. But why not ask your team if they want someone banned so they feel better knowing something like teemo Yasuo or any other annoying champ won't be picked against them

You're going to complain about something that takes fifteen seconds, but not address the illusion of choice given to us through the absolute shit-tier "runes" system?

As an Ivern main...this hurts. QuQ

Wait, did they actually remove the "none" ban choice?

Sirsir7/28/2019, 6:24:20 PM2 votes

And nothing of value was lost.

There's too much bullshit in this game to pass up a ban. Ban a counter, ban FotM or ban pubstompers in the pubs, whatever works. Theres no reason to pass on a a ban except being lazy.

And giving someone something you aren't using isn't communism, it's common sense. Wanting people to do something right in a competitive setting isn't entitlement, its sportsmanship, and this post isn't enlightened, it's lazy.

If forcing you to pick a troll ban takes the slightest bit more effort from you it's a win.

I agree. i dont ban because i think banning makes me a weaker player. i only ban when its is like an avengers level threat to my team. depending on the comp. if they pick their champs to show me lol

if you dont deserve to climb then dont play ranked its that simple your part of the problem with elos by not banning someone and taking someone off the table then you have the audacity to say well im not better than the people in this elo. Why play ranked just to hold people back that are actually trying to climb up the ranks.

You're bronze - silver player, you cant really tell other people they are bad at climbing because they need to ban when you yourself cant get out of low ELO.

Part of the game is also knowing how to ban your/your team's counters. Whenever i see players like you on champ select they always beg for ganks and lose lane ironiclly.

i always banned none when ARAM had bans implemented. you've covered every base on why i do not have to ban a champ. i will simply say that ban is not a power any champion has and banning your problems away will not help you in your life (if you even have one). and permabanning will not get riot to remove the champ from the game. all you will be accomplishing is spreading your toxic shit to other players by making them mad at you for banning their main.

This guy knows what's up, never mind that people at the very highest levels of play don't frivolously ban or not ban. This guy clearly knows better.
