Riot is trolling by not disabling some champions in ranked

If they intentionally gut a champion to the point of unviability, I'm basically forced to waste a dodge so a game's not ruined. It's 100% clear from some patches that Riot destroys some champions they don't know how to balance and I SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR THEIR INABILITY TO COMPETENTLY BALANCE THE GAME! It's a hard job, no doubt but please disable champions which are totally unviable. I just had to dodge a Ryze mid. And please, cut the excuses about "oh maybe he's just really good!!!" no, it doesn't matter. The champion has a 42% winrate in Plat+ and a 44% winrate in Diamond+. It's just garbage pure and simple. It's not even the only case. Ther are many times Riot does this and then I have to dodge a champ. select. Just ADMIT you gutted the champion and disable him from ranked. Stop wasting my time and stop trying to fool other players into thinking there's a viable option. There are always a handful of champions like this every patch. Just total gutter trash unviable picks. It's rare, yes but it does happen. THIS IS NOT ABOUT BEING NON-META. You can play Teemo mid and I would say nothing. Some champs are just totally unviable though and they need to inform players of this. At least give them a warning "this champion is a work in progress and not yet up to par" etc. The more champions Riot creates, the worse this issue becomes and it's pretty annoying.

Add Ornn and Kayn onto this list

Psst... you have a ban. And odds are, the other 9 bans will ban something you don't want to play against.

Nah, Ornn and Kaynn are viable. Ryze is in a tier of his own. It is indeed trolling picking him. I'd rather have even Sona or Nunu mid than that. People downvoting are just ignorant of how bad Ryze actually is.

People tell me not to pick kindred in champ select or they throw a fit because she has a low winrate. Personally I have like a 63% wimrate with her. She's not meta but I am good with her and I enjoy playing her. I have seen good ryzes and I have seen very very bad trist and caitlyns. It really doesnt matyer what the meta is if the person know ls the champ and what they are doing. Especially the ello you are in. Worry about yourself and improve your game. Shouldn't matter what your team wants to play you are in bronze the same as them.

I'm sorry to say but you are not some special little snowflake.
