Infrequently banned champs that feel really strong right now

I mained Nasus for about three months before that period when he became 100% pick/ban, and he felt like maybe he was a little over tuned. I got the same feeling playing Leona during Annie's reign of terror in the bot lane.

What feels strong but underrecognized right now? After seven post-buff Sejuani games, I get the feeling she may be a sleeping giant. I've also seen Vladimir doing serious work in more than a few games. What are you noticing?

Maybe this is just luck, but I have won all of my ranked Jax games. I guess his two greatest items were nerfed, but with them (trinity/botrk) he is still amazing at shutting down ADCs, clearing waves, taking turrets, and has great mobility with ward jumps

And your laning phase wasn't as brutal as it ought to be?

Nope... There are certain champs that will make you hate laning phase, but if you're against someone like fiora... you will love it

Did some search on your stats, props to you doing good with Jax and the KDA. But I have to let you in on the fact that the higher elo you go, you will see people trying to punish your early game more because they know if you get farmed up, a Jax always win. So just a heads up while you climb.

Skarner Jungle is a BEAST! His passive with Krugs makes first clear really nice, and i love going into red with a shield on top of all that. (Of course, you need to be capable of playing once that's done, so i end up failing)

Other amazing but underplayed champs:

Galio His passive can snowball games in AP heavy comps.

Taric OUTRAGEOUS!

Gangplank Consistently underestimated. Will plunder all the lanes. Try him support.

Singed has a distinct disadvantage in his chosen lane top, terrible early game, bad scaling on stats, sub par late game when carries can glance at you and 3/4th of your 4k hp pool vanishes. But what he lacks in direct confrontations is the ability to secure so many objectives, if indirectly, by wasting the enemy's time.
