Banning New/Reworked Champions

Shuyin178·Aug 17, 2016·3 votes·321 views

This is something I've never understood the thought process of. If something is new, why ban it constantly? You can't learn how to play with/against it if it's always banned making you lose precious game knowledge. I understand people not wanting to play against broken things, but actually new things need to have a "Ban Block" for at least the 1st week or 2 on new/re-released champions so you have to learn how to play with/against the new characters in the game instead of just running from them.

Maybe people dont wanna play vs it that game?

Idk whats up with telling people who to ban or who not to ban. Its their ban, let them decide what to do with it. Its freedom of choice. When its your turn to ban, you're free to ban whoever your want without harassment. Please extend that same courtesy to others.

It's one thing to allow people to choose. It's another to question their choices.

I agree with you 100%.

However I disagree with OP's 'ban block' suggestion. I think everyone should be allowed to ban whatever champion they dont wanna play vs.

(ie 1 ban for everyone please)

The Ban Block was for new/re-launched champions so people have to actually learn how to play with/against them instead of acting like they don't exist.

No thanks I usually ban new champs in ranked because I dont wanna play vs them, or let some nub on my team play them.

For ranked and featured game modes I'll agree, sure that can be allowed because Ranked is important and the game modes are 1 weekend at a time, but for Normal Draft they should have a ban-block because ND is for learning and practicing.

Ranked is completely fine, norms is a different story. How do you expect to learn how to play against a champ if you just ban it because "it's new"?

I've gone out of my way to not ban Kled. Now I know Kled is bs to face as an adc, fizz and skarners charging at you at 1000 miles per hour is nope city. Now I sometimes ban him.

Seriously though, quit wasting freaking valuable bans on new champs simply because you secretly hope someone on the other team will want it, you're just going to let an OP through. Right now Hecarim needs a ban, and both Ashe and Jhin are highly deserving of bans.
