We need more bans.

Out of the 123 champions in League of Legends, 6 bans is NOT enough. The game is literally ran down a select few. Let's point them out.

Top lane: We got Darius Jayce Poppy Gnar with a few exceptions of Yasuo .

Jungle: Zac Hecarim LeeSin Vi Shyvana

Mid lane:Syndra Brand Ahri Leblanc Yasuo Lux

Support:Janna Zyra Thresh Braum

ADC:Caitlyn Vayne Jhin Ezreal Twitch

That's a total of 22 champions out of the 123 total champions there is to offer, yes, I know there's more, but those are the most FREQUENT right now. If you're banning Caitlyn for example, well, you're facing a Jhin then. So on and so forth. It's beginning to honestly bore me, fighting the same shit over and over again.

Don't upvote this shit thread. OP doesn't know how to read the forums. They wont increase bans until the new client is complete and the old client is abolished.

Hey Kreissage! bestbans.com is an awesome site for seeing which champions you should ban at your League.

Kreissage, you're probably going to place Silver according to op.gg and LoLKing, so we'd look at the Silver league. The top champions are, in this order: Vi (67), Blitzcrank (38), Camille (35), Darius (35), Janna (30), Shyvana (29), Ziggs (26), Ahri (24), Hecarim (24), Sona (21), Annie (21), and Brand (19). What are those numbers? Those are the approximate amounts of games that you'll lose to those Champions every ten thousand games, assuming that you aren't picking them yourself. (The formula: 10,000 x (WR - 50%) x (PR / (100% - BR))

Let's look at your bans. Darius is a good idea. Jayce is a bad idea - you'll win six more games if you don't ban him. Yep, his influence is -6. Silver players just aren't consistent enough on the champion for him to be a good ban. Poppy is -9. Gnar is -22. Yasuo is 8.

Remember, you shouldn't be banning because a Champion seems to be overpowered or is frustrating, you should be banning the strongest, most picked Champions that you or your teammates won't be picking so that you win more games. You will be hurting yourself if you are banning Jayce, Poppy, or Gnar in Silver League. Yasuo is not an optimal ban, though if he counters your team composition (or even just you) it may be worth it to ban him.

Zac is -6. Hecarim is a good ban. LeeSin is the absolute worst ban possible, sitting at -87. You will win 87 more games per 10000 if you do not ban LeeSin . Vi is a good ban. Shyvana is a good ban.

Syndra is -36. Brand is a good ban. Ahri is a good ban. Leblanc is -25. Yasuo is 8. Lux is -7.

Janna is a good ban. Zyra is 16. Thresh is -44. Braum is -14.

Caitlyn is 2. Vayne is 2. Jhin is -6. Ezreal is -75, the second worst ban for Silver League. You will win 75 more games per 10000 if you do not ban Ezreal. Twitch is 5.

I hope you realize that many of the Champions that you are proposing banning are actually harmful to you if you ban them, because that means that you aren't using a ban on a higher priority Champion, and you will be denying yourself the extra wins you will be getting by facing those Champions. Secondly, many of the high priority champions aren't on your list. They might not seem overpowered, but their high win rates and pick rates will cause you to lose quite a few more games than many of the other champions on your list. I think you need to revise your post a bit.

I believe that we should get 10 bans to account for the ever growing "OP" champion pool we have had 6 bans for too long and quite frankly it feels very outdated

Riven <---- This champ. I want her out, but when I ban her I have to deal with them very likely picking Camille LeeSin MasterYi Katarina Vi god dang you get rid of 1 champion that's ban worthy and the enemy team will just pick the next broken / cheese champion. We really do need more bans please Riot.
