We can ban Champions, but what if we could.. ban Items?

I think this could totally eliminate many problems and item comps people keep complaining about.

Lol not a good idea... You could ban item 3031 or item 3165 and just ruin both ADC's and Mages' day. Or you could ban item 2049 and make both support useless. or you could ban item 3157 and then champions like Zed will reign supreme.

Some champions rely heavily on items, some champions require you to build certain items against them, some items are basically role specific, etc. It is how certain champions are balanced or kept in check, if they were banned it would be pure chaos.

adcs and mages. u didnt even mention assassins. clearly there's a preference in this game for certain roles lol

Assassins in this meta? LMFAO! not when the likes of item 3107 exist and ADC's are capable of instabursting them before they can do anything.

Or maybe, here's an idea, assassins don't have a mandatory item like a mage does.

Draven item 3047 item 3031

Sadly, I could see this working out.

I'd ban item 1042 and item 1052

Just to see ADC's and mages freak out

Items are items, each is useful in their own way.

Assuming you'd be able to ban more than one item, this would completely break the entire game by just banning 2-3 core ADC items.

I like the idea! I'd say inlcude sub items, any items! The caviat is that you ban only item itself, not its upgrades. And only one per team!

Milodic MellodiDec 25, 20161 votes

Many items are mandatory for many Champs, or are mandatory against certain Champs. Going and removing item 3157 and item 3031 , for example, makes it harder for Carries to have survivability or damage output. It sounds cool on paper, but it's a terrible idea. We don't, and won't, have nearly enough items to ever start this sort of thing...and if you really want it, go and make a Custom Game with "don't use this item(s)" as part of the rules.

thats the point. many champs are considered broken cause of certain items. I think its fair to counter champs with certain items. this makes the game more creative and fun tbh

Play Cassiopia, ban boots. Run circles around enemy.
