Well, supports being banned alone is not the sign of a broken meta. In a hypothetically completely balanced meta, a support ban would be just as valuable as any other class.

Please don't treat supports as they're inherently less valuable or should be less valuable :/

i've seen diamond players ban thresh and blitz not in the same round but still

jwebb0113Oct 9, 20172 votes

really only in lower elos

thresh has a 21% pick rate and a 8.47% ban rate in plat +

blitzcrank has a 10.83% pick rate and a 18.37% nam rate in plat +

what elo are you ?

plat ... so this is in your elo and higher ... but you are right only banned in low elo

Dodging skillshots doesnt really matter tbh when 1) they are 50/50s most of the time and 2) both of them can get move speed like item 3117 and just kill you with an E.

Yet another high elo player that is practically a white supremacist in every way.

High elo players sadly think they are superior in every way and treat low elo like trash... Pretty much what a white supremacist is.

what the hell does that even mean?

higher elo players ARE better in every way at the game. which is why theyre there in the first place. they played, got better and climbed in rank.

youre talking about it as if getting to high ratings is a privilege, when its an achievement.

Yea funny how you automatically pull racism it's a conversation about league. Anyway rank does matter. The game isn't all about killing other champions. It's about teamwork communication vision map awareness critical use of summoner spells (for example flashing before Morgana qs you) gold efficiency situational building ect. There's a huge difference between a bronze player and and upper platinum player. You will never improve if you think that you know everything. Admit you suck and learn and you'll be gold in no time

You know a meta is broken when champions are banned.

Tristana Twitch Janna Lulu KogMaw usually 5 out of 10 pick or ban with possible overlap on the bans.

bot lane takes up around 50% + of the ban slots every game, its stupid. you cant ban out your lane counters anymore, because you absolutely have to ban out these fucks or youre screwed and wont get to have a game impact. unless you play them yourself that is.
