This was exactly my point. If I'm jungle, I don't mind if Zac is banned or not because I'll play him if he's up and I won't be laning if he's taken. I'm also not worried about silver low Gold Zac players. As someone else said, better players will be able to better command a champion.

Also, the game is not balanced around competitive play. It's a factor, of course, but Riot has to balance their game around the 99% of players who are bad like me, not always the 1% like you who are good.

Actually that's exactly how riot balances the game and they've said it themselves "To properly gauge a champion's strength in terms of balance you need an even playing field. Outside pro-level play the skill of the player can be a match's downfall as much as the champion. Pro-level play is the closest one can get to an even playing field between champions and thus the best way to analyze where the balance of the system itself stands.

This is not to say balancing for lower levels doesn't happen, but it happens much less because it is difficult to cater to certain skill levels without adversely affecting everyone else." The vast majority of balancing starts at high plat low diamond and goes up I wish i could find the chart they had but they really have no reason to balance around gold or lower. One of the examples used is the Yi can be used to dumpsters people in bronze because they don't know how to play against him but they're not gonna balance yi around bronze when once you hit silver or gold he's useless because the players have a slightly better understanding of the game and that's all the difference it takes to make him no dumpster folks.
