Should you ban champions so that your allies can't play them?

Is there some strategic value to banning champions specifically so your allies won't play them? Especially at lower elo's? Now I understand that many champions such as and many others can be very powerful when played well, but it seems at lower elos such as bronze and silver that more often than not tend to not be able to use them effectively and ed up being useless later in the game. Furthermore by leaving some of the more powerful and easy to use champions open you at least give your teammates a shot of being able to abuse them?

SO what's your opinions? Is this a completely horrible strategy or might it actually work?

I ban any champion who were JUST released, like when Ekko was. People claiming they "mained" Ekko when all they did is played him once in a bot game.

You want to ban the champions that are "freelo". Those champions that seem to pub stomp lower ELOs.

If someone on my team ASKS me not to ban someone, I won't. But there are characters who I just know are high risk champions. That Zed could be incredibly useful, or total dead weight. I'll probably ban him if no one says anything.

Once someone asks you not to ban someone though, banning their character is only going to get the game off on the wrong foot.

Bard could be a good idea as very few people can play him well and people can stop you from winning with him.
