Bans are... kinda pointless right now huh?

Like, I was talking with my friends and we were looking at the bannable champions. And realized, "Hey. With only 6 bans, aren't there like more than at least 10 champions that are almost balence-breakingly strong?"

This is nothing new. Everyone has been asking for more ban slots for a bit, but like, really look at the champions.

Back around season 2 when Kassadin was the end all be all champion, you banned him so that you wouldn't lose. Because 9 times out of 10, if Kass got through. God help your team.

I was in around late season 2, early season 3, so I do remember Renekton still being the superior top laner, while you perma banned Kass. And I do believe the main bans at the time that I saw every single game, were Shen, Malphite, Amumu, Renekton, Kassadin and.... shoot I can't remember who was the last ban. Was it Zac? I think it was Zac. Maybe Kha Ziks? Rengar? Someone tell me please... anyway!

But yeah you banned those champions because at the time they had enough influence to carry games and pretty much shove it into their teams favor. But there really only a few.

Nowadays? Fiora, Graves, Lulu, Kog Maw, Corki, Ezreal (i'm stretching it with Ezreal and Corki but they are stupid strong right now), Soraka, Tahm, Xin Zhao, Master Yi, Jax, Udyr, Janna (around diamond/plat), Lux, Gangplank, there's probably more. Some people might throw Annie and Lee Sin in there. Maybe Rengar? Let's not forget possibly Zed and Talon. And Mundo who goes where he pleases.

Overall that's at LEAST 15 champions that possess a ton of game influence that can push the game into the other team's favor.

You banned out Fiora, Graves, Udyr, Tahm, Soraka and Gangplank. Well now there's still 9 or more other champions that can still hold as much influence as those banned champions.

So it's almost pointless to even ban at all!

You tell me what you guys think. Are bans pointless nowadays?
