Riot, you either need to add more bans OR make faster balance changes

I am tired of Rek'Sai, Lee sin, Gnar, Riven, Zed, Fizz, Azir on most of my games.

With the number of champs now 2 more bans per side are needed at least.

What if the team lead had 2 bans and the other 4 had 1 ban they could pick?

Rek'sai has the following weaknesses

-If you avoid her after she tunnels, she is easily kited, as she has no sticking power. -She's a melee assassin/bruiser hybrid with the mobility of a bruiser and damage of an assassin. She will melt in a teamfight if you don't engage her where she has tunnels. -Stand on her tunnels and she doesn't have the same level of map presence.

If you avoid her tunnel, she smites you, slowing you. Good luck trying to kite her. Also, it is not easy to avoid her tunnel.

Don't cluster up so that Rek'sai can get more than one person with her knockup. Melt her. Collect LP.

It's generally a good practice anyway because champs like Orianna have potentially devastating AoE ults. This has the same principle.

Gnar and Riven are rather easy to deal with if you don't make blatant errors in lane. Rek'Sai and Azir can be dealt with if you pick correctly and make fewer mistakes than your opponent. The last three, if they do not make mistakes, can be rather difficult to handle if you're not used to the matchup, but with proper teamwork they will fall behind.

Gnar is not easy to deal with. He needs to make a STUPID mistake, just like riven, to lose the lane, while you are heavily punished by the minor mistake. Azir is just too oppressive early for such a godlike late game. Rek'Sai is indeed OP. Zed Fizz and lee sin can win solo a game.

Gnar can't really do much if you do not make a mistake, to the point of having to give you towers if you play correctly against him.

Riven is squishy and dies to almost any well played bruiser.

Azir and Rek'Sai are very strong if you play to their strengths, which many people mistakenly do. Play to their weaknesses and you should do fine. If you don't know how to figure out their weaknesses you have bigger problems than these two champions.

Zed, Fizz, and Lee Sin are similar to Azir and Rek'Sai, with the main difference being their improved safety. They can make mistakes and get away, and can easily capitalize on your own mistakes. You need proper team coordination to deal with these three, which does cause a problem for solo play, but as they have been discussed to death literally thousands of times I won't say any more.

Feel free to ignore the truth of the matter, those of us who don't blindly complain about OP champions and actually spend the time learning how to beat them will keep having fun beating them.

Any well played bruiser? Ok. Rek'Sai weakness are? Azir is squishy , but if he ults bye bye to your engage. You don't need to lie about beating this champions when you actually don't do.

Knowing how to learn weaknesses and exploit them on your own is arguably more important than simply knowing weaknesses. If you don't care to take me at my word stop responding to me, I'm just here to let you know a few basic things, not tell you how to play the game.

Why are you banning the OP champions?

Make sure your team can pick more OP champions than the enemy. If you're first pick, allow 1 or 5 OP champions to remain unbanned. If you're second pick, allow 3 OP champions to remain unbanned.
