Who to ban on Legend of the Poro King?

Post here who you always want to get banned in this game mode!

To me: Just played against one and with one as well. This guy is insane in this mode, flashing to Poros, to the King, then back, spamming abilities all day and using his ultimate as often as possible. Plus being skillshot reliant in this mode is not that challenging due to the shape of the map. Same as Ezreal, with those low CD ults and those long range skillshots... Luckily she was on my team He is free now... Can't risk anyone getting this guy... The hooks are a lot easier to land on this mode. He can win the game in 10 minutes in the right hands... Uncoordination (usually) and no wards against his ultimate. Quite annoying to deal with... Same as Fiddles, with the extra that the good champions in this mode usually lack CC that is easy enough to land to stop her ultimate.

I could go on, but these are the first to come to my mind...

You seem to be hitting people that are good on the Howling Abyss, not specifically good to the Poro King mode. :P

ARAM players will tell you right now that there are certainly worse offenders, though. I'm looking at you, SONA.

Anyone with poke and some form of snare/root/stun will be useful. Kog'Maw is especially annoying if he goes artillery build. But anyone like Lux/Jinx/Syndra/Zyra/Veigar/Morgana... (I could go on for a while) is always gonna be pretty solid on Howling Abyss. Morgana is actually a decent threat due to the fact she can port to king then ult + zhonya (under your tower) which opens up some good opportunities for enemies to engage while pushed out. Kennen might be a decent choice. With some skill at juking (and an early qss to save your butt) you can make some interesting plays. Lee sin "can" be good but depends almost 100% on the player (not the champ so much).

Tanks that can break up groups are pretty good in this mode as they can instaport with the poro (poroport.) I've had amazing success with Sejuani poroporting and wrecking the enemy team's s#$%. Throw in the R and my team sweeps them like Mr. Clean.

Sona has been helpful in a general sense, but isn't remotely op in the slightest. The poros seem to change up the game too much. Sona isn't necessarily irrelevant, but she's not a must-have pick and certainly not worthy of banning. Honestly, I noticed Taric did far better in this mode than Sona. It probably has to do with the poroport. If you hit her with any damage-dealing champ, it's an instant deletion. I had some trouble in my last Malzahar game when I usually stomp Howling Abyss with him. Last time I played I went 27/2/23 with him. So not the case now.

Assassins also seem to do well as they can delete anyone and be in and out in a timely manner. Katerina seems to be the must-ban since her abilities let her hit multiple champs in seconds and kill them all. If your team is tanky though, there's not much need to worry about her. Nab an Orb of Winter. (People forget that exists.) Orb of Winter will help with the AP assassins big-time.

My bans would be Morgana because her stun is stupid long and if it doesn't guarantee a kill, it'll guarantee a crapton of poros hitting you and giving the enemy team poro advantage. Blitzcrank Obvious reasons. Nidalee Everyone b$%^&'s about her so I ban her so they don't feed. I played against one, she's not that strong in this mode, but the spears can be annoying if they keep you at a distance with strong poke like a Heimer or something.

My buddy and I teamed up as Galio/Karthus. We still haven't lost a game. Both land poros/dash in, Galio ults while Karthus defiles/q's. Karthus continues to defile/q after death, hit R. We basically 2v5'd most games. It's ridiculous.

I found that an invisible Teemo sitting next to you in ARAM to be really strong once fights start you know.. shrooming health packs then camping beside it and what not same map, just different ame mode, however significant it may be
