I normally ban zac and gangplank in ranked. I dont care how nerfed or whatever, a good GP or zac ruins your day.
But lately ive been banning Thresh just because i cant ever seem to outplay him or beat him. Especially when i play elise, i feel like im cursed to always fight Thresh.
I dont know i just hate thresh.

, always.
If he isn't already banned by the time it is my turn, I ban him.
I do not want him on my team or the enemy team.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo7 votesmy 3 bans right now are 
EndlessSorcerer17 votesAt the moment, mine are:
While Yasuo is there for obvious reasons, Zed and Riven both tend to attract the same type of players and are similarly difficult.
Considering their Championship skins were just released, I'm expecting to see them in most games for the next week or two.
47891 votesobvious reasons? if ur implying hes op, hes not wrong, if u just hate fighting him (as a semi yasuo main, I understand how infuriating fighting a good yasuo is) and the new skins... I want to use my new champ zed ;-;
EndlessSorcerer7 votesThe "obvious reasons" I was referring to the fact that I just don't like having him on my team or the enemy team, as previously stated.
Personally, I find him unfun to play against and I find Yasuo players rather inconsistent. Not only does he attract a certain type of player (similar to Vayne, Zed or Riven), he can be rather difficult so many of them just feed horribly.
If the enemy team gets Yasuo, I will typically just camp him. I find they are very prone to raging in all-chat and tilting their entire team when they start doing poorly.
47892 votesyeahhhhhh, I know, the yasuo stereotype, feelsbadman yeah, a lot of other yasuo players are really inconsistent
Cryo002 votesNot only do I hate fighting against him, but good Yasuo players are a nightmare to deal with. I always ban him. I do let it slide if someone is picking Yasuo on my team though. They usually carry me.
tooomine2 votesthe glory of higher elo.
All three of those champs are insta losses for me, so sometimes I ban then even when my team is picking. usually i"ll check OP.gg and see what their kda is.
One time, a zed player had a .10 kda in the ranked queue... that was when I banned him.
Kosm1K20 votes
because no one knows how to deal with him yet (at least on my team)
because he's a tanky bursty pos that has a literal "fuck that" spell in his ult
"I've been pushing down the tooop lane, alll the live long daaaaaaayyy"
Ralanr16 votesUpvoted because Tryndamere made me laugh.
KekOfTheFinest17 votes
i swear,i can't fuck up ONCE playing against this bitch,otherwise GG lane phase.
Oh,but she can fuck up numerous times because of Q dashes and E stun and free sustain.
Fucking hell,fuck this champ.
Seraphize13 votesMy 3 bans tend to be
: Even if Riot somehow balances him, no amount of nerfing is going to get rid of that *****ing windwall
: The female version of Yas that tends to slip under the radar because we are all sorta used to dealing with her. Because I tend to play squishies or Jugg's as squishies (100% crit chance 
is fun AF) Her powerspikes against me tend to be the entire game until I buy something like
I've got PTSD from when the average Yi build was something like 
and then nothing else because they've already won the game by then.
LordGeovanni2 votesKat doesnt slip under the radar cause people are used to fighting her she gets by because while she is still the same op bs champ every other champion either has hard cc or shit ton of mobility while riot nerfed the needlessly large rod line of items so instagib doesnt happen so easily on champions who REFUSE TO BUY ANY DEFENSES. kat can still rip teams who dont bring more than 3 forms of hard cc to a fight
Spice POWAH2 votesKat's really squishy enough that one good stun will kill her since she needs to be in the middle of your team. Even a silence will kill her. Not to mention she's nearly useless while behind, in my experience.
she's still annoying , but still... time to see what the assassin update does.
ModAttysu The Poro11 votes
Mid, Top, Jg, ADC, Nexus, no matter what G. T. F. O. MY RANKED GAMES.
I don't like you. And you know what? SUPPORT MAINS DON'T LIKE YOU EITHER ;-;
Mighty Mortein9 votes Because no matter what, she always seems to get to that Trinity force stage and can easily start face-rolling your team.
Because he just attracts annoying players.
Because I just can't be bothered dealing with one at all.
RiotAD Yuumi9 votesOld Nidalee (with the one shot spears) tilted me off the face of the earth. Would ban every game just so I didn't lose due to rage and poor decisions whenever I ran into her.
Hellpyre7 votesOh, all the time. In any normal I'll ban Ezreal when I play support because I don't want to deal with his blinky ass.
superfire4447 votesMy top 3 bans are 
I hate playing against hecarim since he doesn't seem to have counterplay (I hate that you can't dodge his E)
I hate playing against anivia cause she counters my champion pool and play style too hard
I hate playing against zac because getting ganked from across the map is fun
TheMinez16 votesPersonally I find that all hec mains are one trick PONIES. I'll leave this thread now.
Telephone Booth6 votesI ban Yas everytime. No matter who I play I just can't win lane against him. I've tried so many different champs and thought I had it with Renekton cuz I stomped 1 Yas with him... next time I tried it he got fb and I just became useless. Idk wtf to do against a decent Yas player, so broken or not, he's getting banned.
zelham1 votesPlus 90% of Yasou players are toxic.
eternal ravanger2 votesalong with 95% of Riven players, 85%(that's being generous) of Yi players, and 100%(that's being extremely generous) of Teemo players
invisiblecat16 votesI hate fighting Yasuo, Zed, Fizz, Gangplank, and Xin Zhous. I will always ban GP because 2k damage barrels are just unfair, Yasuo is just so STUPID AND I HATE THAT CHAMPION SO MUCH. Zed and Fizz are too safe for the amount of burst they provide, and Xin is just annoying
Reikken5 votesThat's my only reason for banning. and should be everyone's primary reason for banning. Balance is close enough that your own personal preferences and strengths/weaknesses are much more important. Except in rare cases, like when playing Poro King, where there are some very obviously broken champs
God King Aatrox5 votesmy bans are : 
50000000000000003 votesJanna is an interesting ban. Do you main some sort of diving fighter?
Mysticman8921 votesJannas been statistically the best ban or close to it for several seasons, to the the point that riots even pointed it out in patch notes something to the effect of people ban based on perceived power than actual power, hence why janna is never banned despite being the best one.
edit: That said, don't ban my main.
WarlockLaw2 votesYou bring up a good point. Looking at champion.gg and filtering by play rate then ignoring any champ with a sub 50% win rate, the order is 
With my policy of never banning an adc because a competent team can handle any adc, I now know who my new ban is.
Limrick5 votesJanna kills fun. I ban her sometimes just for that.
Save5 votes
Every. Single. Game.
Just an extreme cancer to lane vs in mid. Practically unlimited mana, semi tanky if they do the good build. 100-0 level 6 by pressing her Q, W, or R with her stun up. Scalings are all too high on her abilities.
Sure she's predictable and such a basic champion but she is my absolute least favorite champion to lane vs
Kitty Clarissa5 votes because being ganked from halfway across the map is so fun :/ i have to ward deep.
because sometimes i dont wanna deal with my Carry being grabed knowing i main Sona and cant do much
other then that i dont care who i ban really since most champs are doable for me
Spice POWAH2 votesif you have trouble with blitzcrank, try to learn morgana, she's a flat counter if your reflexes are good.
hhaavviikk5 votesyasuo and zed, yes I can counter them, no that doesn't remove the anti fun part of fighting them.
and then there's riven who I ban because 99% of her playerbase are OBNOXIOUS, and you can be 100% sure the riven player is obnoxious when they got that ugly bunny riven skin, dear satan are riven players a pest on this world
Imperial Japan1 votesHow dare you call BoxBox obnoxious and not a pretty bunny and arcade gril
hhaavviikk4 votesdafuq is boxbox
Erractic Eick5 votesMy three are:
: Listen, I have nothing wrong with the champion. If you don't like Yasuo, try Jax, he's a pretty good counter so long as you know what you're doing. I do not like flamers, though, and about a third of the time when someone is flaming me, it seems to be a Yasuo main, which is so contradictory to the poor guy's lore! It's like watching a Bard go ballistic. I can't stand it.
: I just have recurring nightmares of the time I got two shotted immediately after I spawned in ARAM. As a Cho'Gath.
: I just get tilted by any champ that I can catch off guard, nearly kill, and then watch as it restores its health and kills me. I just feel... useless.
Narvuntien4 votesAs a support main I ban . He is just so swingy and it is just not fun to play against even if I know what I am doing, does my adc know how to play around him? if I can't save them from the hook due to my kit he has to go.
he just isn't fun to play against as a support.
Weapon Meister4 votes
I just don't want these champions in my game.
See You At Baron2 votesMalzahar is pure AIDS. Zyra is annoying as fuck no matter where she is, and Hecarim is like a speeding train coming at you if you go past mid way point of your lane. Very similar to my bans - 
and 
.
Honestly there's nothing that tilts me more than having to lane against Orianna. Fighting her is one thing, laning? No thanks. I'd rather just bang my head against an actual wall
It Hertz When IP4 votesOf course. Why else would Zed have such a high ban rate?
Mecha Incognito4 votes
, nearly every game. Really hard to play around him if he gets even the slightest lead because his Q damage is ridiculous. Let alone his dragon/baron taking power.
Also, as far as I know his Q can't be cancelled from flashing or CC, seems to just go off regardless. My least favourite champion to play against.
BastionKross4 votesTechnically, that's what bans are meant for. They remove champions you personally don't want to deal with, or that you know the enemy team is strong with in a tourney setting.
Unfortunately, LoL is far from a balanced game, so most bans are used just to get rid of champions that are too powerful.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo3 votesthat is viable if you have a champ that you personally have trouble with and are worried the enemy will pick that champ ( especially solo lanes / counters) then its legit. it might put you at a better place to win the game not going vs a champ you cant beat or counters your champ
ZephyrDrake3 votes fuck this thing!
DreamofFantasy3 votes
I ban this guy a lot just because I hate him so much and I don't want to see him in my games
Qiy4na3 votes
Jhin just has too much range and even if you try to skirmish with him he can just back off and kill you from 500 miles away with his unfair 99.99% ez slow 4 shot ultimate
Lexyy3 votesI ban Blitz most of the time because he's annoying. And Veigar. They are not very OP but I hate them. I rarely ban Yasuo when I'm tired of fighting him, but yeah. Since I discovered Lissandra I never ban Zed anymore.
