Stop Banning Kayn In Draft Pick

Before I start, I'd like to state that everybody has the right to ban who they so please, and there's nothing I can do to stop you, but please at least consider what I'm about to say.

People use Draft Pick to practice with new champions since they can't do it in Ranked (or SHOULDN'T -_-), and are probably out of practice when it comes to calling out roles in Blind Pick. You wanna know why he's sitting at a ~45% win rate? Because barely anyone plays him often enough to get particularly good at him!

When I saw this champion, I immediately wanted to main him. I expected to have to wait a while since he'd 1.) cost 7800 IP, and I don't have that much at any given time, and 2.) I expected him to be overpowered out the gate and have to wait for nerfs to make him pickable. That last thing, however, was not the case. A week has passed and the people have spoken. The only complaints I've seen make it to the front page concerning Kayn are the fact that his Shadow Assassin form is UNDERPOWERED and that people don't know he's NOT OVERPOWERED.

In addition, he's sitting at a ~45% win rate right now. That means, statistically speaking, you will have a better chance of winning than if he isn't banned. You could use that ban on someone who is far more annoying and will give you far more trouble. It's a waste.

You guys need to relax and realize that it's just Normals; it's not as serious as you think. This is a place where people can experiment and learn new things about the game in an environment similar, though looser, than Ranked. Don't get me wrong; there's a difference between learning and trolling, but like I said: Everybody needs to relax.

You've reposted this exact same thread at least three times.

If you can't handle dissenting opinions, you probably shouldn't be posting on the boards.

You misunderstand; I reposted not because of differing opinions. I reposted because I know for a fact that a good deal of the community would agree with me and that this needs to be addressed. The first few times I posted were trial runs, I suppose. I saw people's initial reactions and learned from them. I reposted so a real issue wouldn't be restricted by the downvotes caused by misunderstandings. People are entitled to their own opinion, however that opinion should not be affected by the fact that I have not expressed, in full, my opinion. As I said, I'm not reposting because I can't take criticism. I'm reposting because I didn't get my message across, and once a post has a good amount of downvotes there's no going back, even if you try to fix it. Reposting was really the only option.

its cool to ban in draft because somebody is gonna wanna play it, so why not piss people off for fun?

ignore the fact that kayn sucks, you get to ban somebody you know someone wants to play, wasting a ban is worth pissing someone off. Something like that.
