You should always ban someone at least, may'be not your lane opponent if you want to learn but help your team mates out with a good ban. I love however when someone doesn't select a champ they want and your team bans that champ and they flame.

I literally never ban anyone. I'm okay with learning to play against a counter. I actually want to improve, so I won't say "this guy is hard to play against, so let's not". I only ban if someone asks me to...only because it would be rude otherwise...

Why not ban a meta jungler?

Frivolous Fossa3 votes

Ganks don't bother me. I pretty much always have vision and almost never get successfully ganked. On mobalytics it my susceptibility to ganks was almost non-existent. A meta jungler doesn't hold any sway over my lane, just the rest of the game, that's where I need to start learning to roam more and play from behind. It's all about improving, why I don't ban.

You really should just pick a mage mid and a tank busting adc and bait the enemy into picking Cho. Vayne or Kog'maw plus another ranged carry are literal freelo against Cho.

DuskDaUmbreon2 votes

Please. Against Cho'gath, you need Nasus, Veigar, pre-rework Kindred, Vayne, and Fiora. All on the same team.

plot twist: he's a cho main

no, i didnt bother checking op.gg to see if it's true or not

Frivolous Fossa1 votes

I mostly play fiora, I can shut down a cho, if I play right. If I don't, that's why I don't ban him. So I can learn to better play against him.

Then ban for your teammates sake jeez...

Follow the thread, just a little, to the start. I already said I do, if they ask

AFK Push1 votes

How about you ask instead. You will less likely get flamed if you always ask, instead of waiting for somebody to.

It That Kills1 votes

perhaps you should then consider banning someone who is truly broken and likely to get nerfed, those guys tend not to be fun to play against. also consider that the ban you dont take may make a fellow teammate's life harder, so i really strongly suggest that you ban someone at lest.

My friend doesnt ban anyone also and he ends up getting called trash and garbage in champ select because of it... What a world (Btw he ended up carrying that game <3)

I ban champs I find annoying. I can easily kill the Ahri if I can get to her, but her mobility is so annoying.

I wonder who downvoted you.

Frivolous Fossa1 votes

Because I'm willing to learn? lol. I'm bronze because I don't play much ranked. I enjoy the game, but I only enjoy salt when I'm eating.

Gelmous3 votes

respect for your ideology there's nothing wrong with what you said, you don't find banning a champion appealing because you want to learn to deal with them and you ban when someone requests is it too that's very noble, it's sad that insecure bronzies are downvoting you

Maybe that's why you've been hardstuck bronze for 3 seasons? item 2045

Frivolous Fossa1 votes

Maybe look at match history before you say that. Every season I play less than 40 ranked games...all year. It's because I don't care enough to climb in ranked.

banFiora or the other diseaseRiven ?

AFK Push2 votes

most rivens and fioras don't know how to play their champs at an adequate level, and then build glasscannon when they are feeding. Before fiora got nerfed though I would agree with you, unless you picked a counter.

DuskDaUmbreon2 votes

Riven can't build anything but damage. She doesn't work as anything else.

AFK Push1 votes

I mean some don't build for survivability just pure glass cannon, and a Randuins late game can be very good as well etc.

Sanctimonious1 votes

Riven litterally only builds damage. Building tanky does nothing for her kit, unlike other champions

I suck at Jhin1 votes

It's like saying that most adc's build damage when they are feeding and are stupid.

Tank vayne, let's see how that works when your team has not enough damage and you build useless items. But at least you survive to die last so it's all cool, right?

kda akali1 votes

Riven isn't very good currently since mostly tanks and peel adcs like Janna and Lulu are played right now

Frivolous Fossa1 votes

Or I could just play fiora, being my most played champion......

50ShadesOfÀDC3 votes

Im sick of people that ban nothing like ''oh i want to learn new champ so i want to lane against everything.'' But sad thing is they get their lane camped so hard.Ironic isnt it?With ganks you will never learn champ since you have to get advantage by yourself.

invisiblecat13 votes

Those people who complain about going against their counter, when they had the option to ban them make no sense

I only ever ban Shaco, any other champion I am fine playing against.

Dracocrash2 votes

I used to never ban a champion. Just for lulz, since my team always had the op bans covered. Then one day... I met this freelo champ called Janna. Now I have a special ban for her =)

ZT Xperimentor2 votes

Not to mention it's just statically more beneficial to ban someone your team isn't using, never know if you're nailing an enemy's pocket pick.

Banning nothings an option?

AFK Push1 votes

Yes, but ironically if you don't choose the nothing option, and just don't select anything it counts as dodging lol.

Shadow Hazard1 votes

You know the biggest reason for the complaints about the double bans was because even 10 will frankly be just barely enough, but on average it is closer to 5-7. The system may have been advertised to ban who you want but that doesn't equal ban to win.

Yuzuki Yukarin1 votes

While I whole-heartedly agree, I'd also like to point out that trash bans are probably worse than banning nobody. Say your teammate bans a bottom-of-the-barrel piece a trash champion. I'm talking sub-30% winrate that you'd report for feeding with the line, "Picked (X champion.)" Cause there is a slight odds that an enemy may just pick that champ and in turn, feed Africa, as you would expect.

Yes, if that player is ignorant enough to play a 3rd-tier garbage champ, you'll probably curbstomp them regardless, but it's a missed opportunity.

I mostly bans bad matchups for me which I,most of the times, losing hard way. For example i permaban panth\jayce when playing teemo,or ori when play kayn(mid) ,or permaban zed when i play jhin(mid) etc.

I've gone to banning random champions so I don't trigger the 14 yr olds.

I just ban Janna and move on with my day.

Rockem Sockm1 votes
  1. I ban stupid overbuffed shit I don't want to deal with(Cho)
  2. I ban stuff I dont want my team to feed. Yasuo is a perfect example of this. I want people to pick yasuo when I am mid. Unfortunately, if he ends up top I know my team is gonna feed him.
  3. I ban directl counters to the champ o am gonna play.Caitlyn is only worth a ban if you want to play Vayne.
Drugoth1 votes

I've taken to banning Blitz pretty much every time now. I know how to play around him, but it seems like no one else does for some reason...

DragonShea1 votes

Choosing not to ban is the most retarded shit riot has done. It defeats the entire purpose to draft pick. Why is it allowed not to ban and yet when you wait til your time is up you are automatically dodging?

If i ban something i don't want to hear lip of something getting through the banning phase.
