matches are being decided at champion select.

who gets Malphite or whatever broken champion right now such as Shyvana wins the game. I mean. sometimes I look at the loading screen and am like. hmm. if we get ahead maybe just maybe we can win. a team fight starts and its an 0 for 5 ace no matter how the rest of the match went. there is 0 balance in the game right now. some champions are being picked as counter picks while others are just simply broken in every single team comp imagineable such as Malphite Amumu . you know there are champions that a lot of us hate. like lee sin yasuo and fizz leblanc. but they are mostly abusive in a small window of the game meanwhile some of these champions are just too oppressive in lane/ team fights. they just do everything better than their counter parts.

the point is. there aren't enough bans. I can't ban malphite yi jax udyr shyvanna and so on. because if I ban one 99.99% of the time the other team will just pick the other one. because thats what people do play champions that are currently broken because of meta items or whatever reason.

the state of the game at the moment heavily favors ad, not to mention item 3156 seems to be overbearingly strong. I'm noticing teams with heavy ad damage and cc are typically coming out on top.

The current meta is very squishy.... that's why those tanks seem so overbearing. Maybe we should let the meta evolve instead of trying to nerf champs that counter it?

Bruisers and sustained damage mages counter full on tanks.

what sustained damage mages? I don't see any of these at all.

Cass, Ori, Malz, Ziggs, Lissa off the top of my head.

They don't really... which is why you think the way you do. You follow whatever the current meta is and assume champs that counter it are "OP"; they aren't... people just don't see many pros/streamers picking their counters so its like they are not "aware" of the obvious counters.

I'd get angry at the stupidity, but this game is full of sheep who don't actually understand strategy... but they can copy real well.

there are a lot of broken team comps, pick your own

I feel 1 ban per player seems reasonable, it would however make the already long process even longer.

I think you have the wrong attitude. For instance, I got counter-picked; they picked LeBlanc into my earlier Veigar pick. We still won that game because I know what LeBlanc can do, and I adjusted my play accordingly. Sometimes, a counter pick will force you to play defensively. Maybe you'll die a few times. But I'm going to quote a YouTuber on this one... I think it was Sky Williams, but I'm not sure.

"Sometimes, you don't need to carry; you just need to be light enough to let your team carry you."

And this is one of those times, when you're facing down one of those champions that are just really strong at the time. There are always going to be strong champions, or match ups that will be difficult for you, or near-unwinnable when it comes to laning. What you can do, is try your best to help your team, even if you can't win your lane. Get vision, ping missing, follow up roams, do something. Honestly, this is a free game, and Riot knows that not everything is going to be in a perfect state of balance at all times. All you can do is roll with the punches.

Who knows, maybe you can pull of a victory when someone makes a mistake? I know everyone, myself included, makes their fair share.
