Unpopular opinion: I don't think that Vladimir, Zed, and Swain should be banned

I am writing this because I don't understand why people still ban champions like - When they in reality have poor winrates and ranked performance. They are also difficult to master and not just anyone can pick them and expect to have success.

Zed is understandable since he is still a massive lane bully against almost any mid laner and thanks to the QSS changes, he can delete an ADC fairly easily. However, Vladimir is fairly easy to counter, especially because not many people know how to play him to begin with. All-inning Vlad early, purchasing an , hell, even purchasing a single is often enough to deal with Vlad, especially since most people don't rush early magic penetration items on Vladimir. Also, he is short ranged; he is vulnerable to long-ranged mages and ADCs that can kite him (those latter can even have lifesteal to outsustain Vlad himself). Almost all things I just said about Vlad also apply to Swain.

Everytime I ask to people why they are still banned, most replies are "They are unfun to play against". Well, I find champions like to be unfun to play against too, yet they are not nearly as banned. I actually don't understand how someone would find Vlad less fun to play against than, lets say, Katarina, since the latter can snowball way more easily and burst you more easily too.

On my opinion, champions like are the ones that need to be banned currently, since they are the actual strong champions that can make you lose a game no matter how well you play. I guess people don't find them to be as antifun to play against because they are not massive lane bullies who can snowball, but they are still strong. I would mention but I am not sure of how much the nerfs affected him. I would also mention but his rework has been released recently, I am not sure if he is actually strong, but some people say he is broken as hell.

The only reason why I can find "unfun to play against" as a legitimate reason to ban a champion is if you are really sure if you or your teammates will tilt if you don't ban said champion. The other reason is if you are playing a non-ranked game, since at non-ranked games, fun >>>> win.
