Stop banning the new champions just because they're new

In s case there was a reason because she was ridiculously broken. But you people are just banning the new guys for no reason, people have bought them and wanna try them out.

I just ban Galio now because I'm sick of people playing him in ranked without knowing how to use him (literally the last Galio I played with didn't know how to play him AT ALL)

I'll learn the basics of how to play as, with and against them from watching streamers rather quickly. I'd rather not be involved in the experimental process.

I don't know the new champion's state of balance (UP, OP, relatively balanced) and I would rather see a variety of picks rather than one champion in every single game.

Because nobody knows how to play him or against him this gives an effect of making people think hes broken and will ban him so he doesnt have to see him, so nobody on the enemy team gets fed or nobody on the friendly team feeds xd

Nah. I know several people who would ban them even in normal draft specifically because they're new.

No like it's literally just to fuck with anyone who wants to play them and for no other reason. I see your logic, but I'm saying that there are other people who do things differently.

Ninja is correct here. It's because people don't want noobs on their team feeding for lack of knowing how to play him, or feeding on on the enemy team for lack of knowing how to play against him.

This is an extremely old and common practice. Complaining will change nothing about it.

I'm not saying his logic is flawed. I'm saying that I know people who ban new champions for no other reason than to be a dick to the people who bought them and they've said it themselves. In ranked, his logic is certainly there, but normals? Normals are where people are supposed to learn new champions and get practice.

To which this guy is correct (even if rude):

That, or you have the option to dodge until you find a game where you can play him.

Blind has the same problems of Draft, except even worse. Because you have to call roles, you aren't guaranteed to get the role you want to try the new champion in. And because instalockers exist, someone could just snipe the champion from you anyway.

I recently decided to learn Poppy top. Look at my match history and tell me I don't get to play who/what I want. I call my role and pick my champ. Sometimes someone else gets the call first, and autolockers are rare (I just dodge those), but often I get to play what I'm trying to.

6/8 of my recent games I got to play Poppy top.

For the other 25% just have a backup pick you want to play, or learn a champ who can be played in more than one role (like Malphite or Sion).
