Top-Garen, Pantheon, Xin Zhao, Rengar, Darious, Aatrox Bot-Nautilus, Alistar, Volibear, Xin Xhao, Kog'Maw, Lux Mid-Yasuo, Zed, Ziggs, Le Blanc, Heimerdinger, Fizz, and or Veigar Jungle-Xin Zhao, Yasuo, Lee Sin, Ziggs, Anivia, Volibear, Wukong Sup-Zilean, Xin Zhao, Vayne, Lux, Malphite, Shaco

By no mean do I think any of these champions are op or anything, never will I consider that, my reason for this list is base off of having very little counter play or being all in type champions, or being able to wipe the floor with them with little to no repercussions. My consideration is base off my experience and does not mean I even struggle with these champions. These champions I feel easily could snowball and carry a team. I'm sure others will have other opinions but I feel that having this ban list will help a lot of people have an easier time in Bronze level. No this is not base off of a champion in any position for example, Vayne for support ban is simply because it's easy for her to outplay your adc. Shaco could sneak in an assassinate your adc leaving you no chance of saving your adc if he/she gets caught. Xin Zhao, just honestly if you noticed he's on almost everyone's list. Yasuo is just a very strong mid that counters too much champions from his wind wall and constant dashes. Ziggs for his range in the mid lane for junglers making it hard to gank him. Anivia's barrier makes it hard to gank successfully. Bot, Nautilus could easily just zone you and your support out. Alistar is just really broken in my opinion too much cc and damage with it. Volibear jungle is simply annoying and impossible to counter in Bronze level. Xin Zhao well yeah enough said. Lux is just a bully in lane and really hard to out cs enemy adc. Xin Zhao for top laners is very annoying when he's in the jungle. Rengar will have his way with mid and bot a lot that top lane will have to constantly force plays to catch his team back up. Aatrox is a top laner but for other top laners, I worry more about him jungling, in bronze level he just makes them all look worst than noobs.

Again this is solely off my experience from playing this game for a few years whether it's blind pick draft or even old team builder. It's just very annoying to deal with these champions and I feel if you ban these champions per position you are playing your chances of winning are a lot higher. Of course you can't ban them all having 6 ban choices allows an easier time and quick choices of who to ban. I'm not even saying you won't do good against them, but this is a team game and these champions just completely wipe the floor with bronze people, in silver some of these bans could be different. It's more about your team rather than yourself. Of course if you own one or more of these champions just go through the list in order. Noticed Jax is not on here, reason being he's a very very strong top laner but there are quite a few champions that will make him useless in top as well as jungle if you don't clump together his damage is completely decreased.

There are some people who do statistical analysis of best bans by tier. They post to reddit every patch (when they have enough data for the patch). Here's the 6.5 post: link. Here's a link to the Bronze ban list: link.

Some of the things you mention, like Volibear and Lux, are on there, but you are missing some of the best bans (statistically) for bronze. Udyr, Amumu, and Blitzcrank are all more likely to have a large impact on the game than champs like Anivia or Ziggs.

Udyr I haven't struggle too much against Udyr, Amumu just simply don't clump up your chances are better to counter him and he's a tank don't focus him, dodge skill shot, Blitzcrank don't let him pull you. Anivia and Ziggs I just fill a lot of junglers have problems with ganking these champions, as mids have a very hard time playing against them. My list for ban champions isn't a list you would see, it's common champions I see a lot of, Gangplank if you know him and play very well with him can easily change the game instantly with a well time ult, or barrel placement, but he's not picked a lot. Blitzcrank was close but I just feel the Nautilus and Alistar bot supports are just so much stronger right now than worrying about dodging a skill shot from Blitzcrank, Nautilus pulls to you in a similar fashion as Leona except a lot tankier and I lose more often against this champion at bot than anything else and well Alistar fuck Alistar I hate that bitch his radius to use his headbutt needs to be shorten so he actually has to work for it rather than it being an automatic hit.
