Who's Your Current Perma-Ban (If You Have One)?

Woodakoodashooda·Jun 27, 2019·6 votes·7,030 views

I switched over to being a top lane main since supporting was getting me nowhere fast in the ranks. I gave Nasus a go and had fun with him for a bit, but realized his success hinges on allies not dying every 2 minutes...yeah, too much expectations, right?

Then I tried other top lanes and realized that Nasus is a god when it comes to games delayed by teams not being able to close matches...yeah, I get those a lot.

And so, I ban Nasus. My allies never seem to know how to play with one on their team and they sure as hell never seem to know how to play against one.

Who is your permanent ban and why?

Pyke - Doesn't deserve to be called a "support" so I won't ever see him

Sassmast3rJun 27, 20197 votes

Yasuo - Couldn't care less about his winrate, don't have the energy to play against him.

Vayne denies the Ability to Counter build and offers ZERO counterplay .

Linna ExcelJun 27, 20193 votes

Vanye's counterplay is she has to keep herself exposed to damage in order to deal it and her range isn't that great. This is why pros have to run protect the vanye comps if their ADC is going to pick her.

Your arguement doesn't address the melee abusive relationship she has.

Yasuo I literally dont care. He's pure cancer and i refuse

TheBrothersGrymmJun 27, 20193 votes

I ban nasus top because if the game goes past 25 gg, i ban vayne every other role because the amount of true damage she can do is literally cheating

AnateraJun 27, 20193 votes

Yasuo because as someone else has mentioned, I do not care about winrate. Winrate doesn't account for how much "fun" you'll have laning against this overloaded joke of character design.

KennekyJun 27, 20192 votes

TahmKench in Top because people start spamming him out of nowhere. MasterYi in the Jungle. Even tho I don't find him broken, once he is ahead of you, he becomes unstoppable force and I'm playing mostly normals so yeah... Ahri or Lux or Yasuo in the Mid lane, the first two I ban most of the time because of how easy is to play them and how safe they are, and Yasuo, he is just annoying. MissFortune or Lux as ADC, I hate MF because of her Q poke and how basic is she to play. Days ago I almost got 2 shot because of her Q bounced on a minion twice on me and she had only Infinity Edge. Very fun gameplay. Lux as Support. I hate how often she's played and how popular she is that's it's almost impossible not to see her in a game.

Zed Because miss half your combo when you R and still get the kill. Before lethality, zed use to be much fairer and even fun to play against but now, even an R with an E and an auto plus ignite can kill you.

This shit is so toxic and unfair it should even be reportable as cheating.

How do you work that out?

Old flat armor penetration used to give you all of it at once, not part upfront and the rest over the course of the game like Lethality.

I'm no armor expert but I remember very well that if a zed missed half his combo he won't get shit.

I use them to bait her into my jungle with any of my laners (usually my duo) then just smite the camp away and collect 300 gold.

Linna ExcelJun 27, 20191 votes

Blitz unless twitch is meta. Support main BTW. Twitch is too good when he's good so he has to be pick/ban and when he's getting ignored I ban blitz mainly because that one good hook can be pretty devastating.

Yasuo / Zed . Both champs are incredibly unfun to face and I'd rather jump headfirst off my chair than play against them.

Yasuo because in laning he gets to decide how it goes thanks to his overloaded kit, which means the game gets boring really quickly the moment he gets level 2 since his Q and E pretty much make him an URF mode champion. Farming under tower and waiting for your jungler is quite literally the single best strategy to beating a Yasuo, and it's so effective that it's the go-to strategy every game; at least for me. The whole overly passive playstyle is not fun in the slightest, so that's why he's my go-to ban right now. R E W O R K W I N D W A L L P L E A S E!

Zed is a VERY close 2nd ban for me since no matter what you do he'll be useful, so long as he isn't straight garbage. He's far too safe (much like Ahri), hits like a truck the moment he hits 6 and has no counterplay until a certain 2900 gold item if he ever gets ahead and much like Yasuo he's an "outplay" champion; which translates to the Zed player determining the fight every single time unless matched against another "outplay" champion.

BadboyUGJun 27, 20191 votes

Zed for mid, and Yasuo if someone bans Zed. The rest I can hustle with.

JaspersJun 27, 20191 votes

Haven't played SR all year but if I did (and might soon as ARAM is a mess at the moment), would ban Yasuo for obvious reasons, if he is already banned Kai'sa, don't want to deal with that no skillshot all damage champ.

Daddy AntsJun 27, 20191 votes

My perm bans depend what role I'm playing...

If I'm....

Top - TahmKench Jungle - MasterYi or Rammus Mid - Yasuo ADC - Jinx (Now that Sivir is nerfed) Support - Yuumi

Jax. The definition of brainless statchecking, and has an absolutely bullshit gapcloser so you can't play safe in lane. No preparation, warning, or skillshots needed, he can just jump and statcheck you whenever. E is annoying, but Q is what props him up to cancer. If he's banned then I'll be the one who provides the obligatory Yasuo ban.

ZardoJun 27, 20191 votes

Fizz

I don't care if he's good or not, I'd rather rip my hair out than play against him.

KanzlerJun 27, 20191 votes

Lux until she drops out of the meta.

Then I can go back to permanent banning Yasuo

Prestige AkaIiJun 27, 20191 votes

It's always either Malzahar or Morgana for me. since after his rework in the MSMU and Morgana since forever, really annoying kits.

Vayne. If not her Morgana.

ROYALR3IGNJun 27, 20191 votes

If top, probably Darius, Aatrox or Akali Jg? Kayn Mid? Yas, Zoe, or Neeko Bot? Draven or Pyke Sup? Same

Luigi TortelliniJun 27, 20191 votes

I'm a jungle/top main. Used to be Kaisa since she's just incredibly overturned and overloaded waifu bait. Now it's Mordekaiser and I will continue to do so until either he is reworked again or hits 40% winrate. There is nothing balanced about his ult, if you aren't a champion who can disengage or 1v1 him, it's basically a 100 to 0 point and click execute. Another sign that this game is no longer run by the same people who used to make it great.

ButterwoodJun 27, 20191 votes

Top: Mord Jung: Yi Mid: Zed ADC: Yasuo Supp: Lux

I realize there are more dominant champs out there, these just seem to be the easiest ones to snowball and they're not fun to lane against. I don't mind facing any ADC in particular, but facing a team with a Yasuo as ADC makes me feel pretty helpless.

SweedishGunnerJun 27, 20191 votes

Used to be Yas but now it's Ezreal or Kata (played vs 3 Kat smurfs in 2 days and now I can't even be bothered to play vs it).

Top to Bot;

Kennen Kayn / LeeSin Yasuo / Zed MissFortune / Jinx Lux / Pyke

Baby GhoulJun 28, 20191 votes

I play Nami so I usually ban Morgana . Her spell shield can negate most of her abilities and if she lands 1 Q, it's over. Blitzcrank is the same way, but when he misses I can easily go in and punish him. Still not fun, but there's more counterplay involved.

Right now though, I'm banning Mordekaiser and TahmKench if I see my teammates aren't. Their overloaded kits ensure a win top lane if they're competent.

Ungrateful ThugJun 28, 20191 votes

Riven Mostly because I suck at the matchup, and even in the instance where I curb stomp her she still somehow manages to get fed off roams anyway. Also, popular boosting champ for top lane.

Top = Rumble Jungle = Hecarim if I'm eve, Rammus if I'm kha (I only play those 2) Mid = Ahri (FUCK Ahri) ADC = Twitch Support = Yuumi

I counter him as Soraka, or Lulu. Poly, or silence can avert his Q, and by the time it's over he is half dead.

The KombinatorJun 28, 20191 votes

Too many strong champ to ban.

Aatrox I saw this guy winning 5v1 so damn often. I never saw a game on ranked where team with him lost. Not even once. Katarina Just one mistake, and she pentakill in mid, and lategame. Unless, if your team is filled with tanks. Mordekaiser ... Pyke People are so dump when playing against him. Get some mobility man, and avoid his stun. Also get some CC, and focus him. Vayne If she knows how to play it, then it's gg lategame. However not many people know her enough for that. Veigar After midgame just smash R, and target non-tank is dead. 10000 AP for the win. Hecarim Fast enough to gank through wards, strong enough to oneshot non-tanks, survival is enough to leave after killing. Even in 1v5 sometimes. So far i lost with Heca jungler exactly once in the season.
