Worlds is played on patch 6.18, it is currently patch 6.20. In patch 6.19, Sol received some sizable nerfs that hurt his early game and made him a lot weaker. So, please, stop banning Sol because he is popular at worlds, because that version of Sol is much stronger than the one in live servers.
Sincerely, a wannabe Sol main.
to people scared of syndra because worlds...
its the top players in the world playing her, not the bronzies/silvers you're with
I love and hate the way people just flock towards builds and champion bans/picks, no creativity or the ability to think for themselves. I'm no God and I'm in silver, I don't play ranked often and just jump into normal games but whenever I see a Sol or a Nidalee I kinda chuckle because you know or you're 99% sure that they can't use them effectively and it'll most likely be an easy game.
Honestly, i think this version is actually stronger. The early damage still is good, his manacosts are lower and you don't need to built up escape velocity in order to fly, which gives you musch more acces to your mobillitytool. Also, the lategame has been straight buffed.
I still wouldn't ban sol though cause he has a lowish playrate, needs an experienced player to be that strong and requires teamcoordination, so the chances that you face an actually scary sol are rather low.
He also has a pretty low play rate, and it's unlikely you'd see him in game anyway. Most people still don't really get how to play him.
Maybe people are banning him because they don't want people to play as him just because he was used in worlds, because he got nerfs and sorta sucks right now, so that if anyone plays him they'd feed.
I personally find him to be extremely obnoxious to play against, and perma slows give me a headache. So you get a ban. (If Riven is already banned.)
And holy fuck is his early game bad.
Also stop playing SOl because you saw him at worlds. Just don't. He's currently at 46% winrate according to Champion.GG. You won't get good results, especially if you're starting out. You will lose your early trades, and you'll feed hard if you try to play him the way he was played before in the early game. You'll also run oom so fast.
