In recent I've seen several people ban champions on bases on "I have troubles" or "I can't win against" mentality. Some maybe, but most are not.

Those who should NOT ban.

Aatrox, Ahri, Akali, Alistar, Amumu, Anivia, Ashe, Aurelion Sol, Azir, Bard, blitzcrank, Brand, Braum, Caitlyn, Cassiopeia, Cho'Gath, Corki, Darius Diana, Dr. Mundo, Draven, Elise, Evelynn, Ezreal, Fiddlesticks, Firoa, Galio, Gangplank, Garen, Gnar, Gragas, Graves, Hecarim, Heimerdinger, Irelia, Ivern, Janna, Jarvan IV, Jax, Jayce, Jhin, Jinx, Kalista, Karma, Karthus, Kassadin, Kayle, Kha'Zix, Kindred, Kled, Kog'Maw, Lee Sin, Leona, Lissandra, Lucian, Lulu, Lux, Malphite, Malzahar, Maokai, Miss Fortune, Mordekaiser, Morgana, Nami, Nasus, Nautilus, Nidalee, Nocturne, Nunu, Olaf, Orianna, Panteon, Poppy, Quinn, Rammus, Rek'Sai, Renekton, Rengar, Rumble, Ryze, Sejuani, Shen, Shyana, Singed, Sion, Sivir, Skarner, Sona, Soraka, Swain, Syndra, Tahm Kench, Taliyah, Taric, Thresh, Tristana, Trundle, Twisted Fate, Twitch, Udyr, Urgot, Varus, Vyane, Veigar, Vel'Koz, Vi, Viktor, Vladimir, Volibear, Warwick, Wukong, Xearth, Xin Zhac, Yorkick, zac, Ziggs, Zilean, or Zyra.

Seriously if those named above give you hell, you shouldn't play ranked. Come 10 ban system, it will be bliss for those of us who understand who and shouldn't be banned...

Shouldn't this be in Memes and Games?

EDIT: Who am I kidding, Gameplay is the extended forums for Memes and Games

darius hecarim lee sin poppy vayne vi zac ziggs

literally all of them have atleast a 15% banrate even in diamond. Hecarim is at about a 50% banrate, lee sin is around 40%, vi is around 40%...

I'm really curious, who do you want me to ban? just yasuo?

So unless you always ban Camille Ekko Fizz Illaoi Kennen Katarina Leblanc MasterYi Riven Shaco Talon Teemo Tryndamere Yasuo or Zed you should not play ranked?

Well, I have some news for you.

You do realize you included Illaoi, Teemo, and Master Yi in your ban worth champs right? If you seriously think these champions are ban worthy, YOU should not play ranked. Also, you think Rengar, Jhin, Janna, Gangplank, Poppy, Ryze, Vayne, Veigar, Lee SIn, Hecarim, Evelyn, Zilean and Caitlyn are not ban worthy some of, if not most of the time? Have you played League recently? Because all of these champs are ban worthy.
Players ban things more than just so the "broken" champions are not available to be played. They ban to give themselves or their teammates a better laning match-up, to stop a potential champion combo from being made (like a Malphite/Alistar/Oriana and a Yasuo combo). Sometimes bans are used against hard counters for intended picks too.
"I have troubles" is a perfectly good reason to ban a champion. So is "I can't win against" to a lesser extent.

Lastly, why Blitzcrank's and Zac's names not capitalized and why is there not a comma after Darius' name?

I'll continue to ban Vayne no matter what. She's a bitch to play against and she's stupid with her true damage.

I don't know what elo you are but Darius, Kha'Zix and Ziggs are common bans in plat.

Khazix is one of the most broken junglers.

Phew, guess I'm okay in your eyes then OP, because I ban Fizz every game. He's not on your list.

Thank God I pass the high standards of Pastelmon.

SwiftKitten881/14/2017, 12:15:36 AM1 votes

as of this patch (7.1) i don't see much wrong with your list

none of those champ you listed are ban-worthy due to being overpowered.

but if i am picking Nidalee (which i do frequently), and i like got out of 2 games in a row with an enemy or allied Diana , or someone dodged after i saw a player on my team or the other team pick her, and i don't see a person on MY team pick intent her, and the important 100% ban champs like Shaco are banned, then going to freaking ban her because i KNOW, she counters the shit out of me and I'm not going to risk them picking her when there is a goo chance the person who i played with the last 2 games who picks her is on the other team. same goes if i pick Ziggs mid, im going to ask for a Viktor ban if Shaco and Katarina are already banned. he isnt op (anymore), but he still counters the shit out of ziggs.

obviously that case is very few and far between, but saying you outright shouldn't ban them is kind an extreme example. i agree non of those champ are ban worthy unless you are banning them because they frankly just counter your champ

Duke Anax1/14/2017, 12:38:32 AM1 votes

So Camille, Ekko, Fizz, Illaoi, Katarina, Le Blanc, Master Yi, Riven, Shaco, Talon, Teemo, Tryndamere, Yasuo, Zed

What was that about "I have troubles" or "I can't win against" mentality again?

Where did you get this information?

(i'm bronze as well and i'm not trying to offend you) but if you made up this list then why should i listen to it when you've been bronze for 3 seasons straight?
