tfw when you ban the new champ and your entire team is like
"why would you even ban them? complete waste of ban, they're so easy to beat, they're useless"
"why would you even ban them? complete waste of ban, they're so easy to beat, they're useless"
My 22-1 lane record begs to differ.
The satisfaction when you ban the new champ and someone on the other team dodges almost instantly.
Always ban the new champions specifically so no one can preach how they're a main.
It's mostly true.
I've seen people ban new champs a lot before. It's not a TERRIBLE idea because either your "new champ main" hasn't had the REAL experience of playing in normal to learn how to use it or your team members won't know how to react to it and find a weakness. Asshole A Sol has some very obvious strengths and weaknesses that are delightfully exploitable with the right counterpicks, but I'll be damned if people ever exploit them correctly when the pressure is on.
TL;DR It's not a bad idea to ban new champs in ranked, but it's not necessarily ALWAYS a good choice. For A Sol, it's not a terrible idea.
