I came from a time where the most hated champions on the forum were Kassadin, Akali, Katarina and LB

I was lurking back then and remember it.. Still hate kass to this day his kit is just unfun to play against.

i remember when kass had a 90% ban rate even though most people had no idea how to play him correctly.

Yeah. I remember back when WW/Morg/Kass were pick/ban.

Kass hard nerfed. Akali hard nerfed. Katarina kinda hard nerfed. LB still used, just not as often.
