Is it okay to ban out one tricks to try to teach them to play the game properly?

If I come across an OTP on the same team or two trick, I ban the champion they play most and say the same words: It doesn't matter if you know every aspect of one or two champions when it translates so little to anything else. I usually get threatened with comments of how that's a punishable offense but is it really...they're one tricks and not just that, I can ban whatever I feel like if that's all there is to it.

they still do for certain things (new champs, bad matchups, etc)...not to purposely be an ass

well, new champs is pretty much just to be an ass, and you can't really know if it's a bad matchup when people haven't even begun the banning phase yet

no new champs ( if ranked) is always a required ban.

in unranked though unless the champion is absurdly broken on release, cough Zoe then there is no need to ban them

  1. for example banning Kaisa on release in an unranked game would be rude.

for new champs.. if they are OP you ban them becuase they are OP (rankled or unranked) for new champs that are balanced on release you only ban them if your team hovers them (ranked only) because they need to learn how to play it first. obviously if u ban it unranked then... your a bloody moron because you can only learn so much from bots and practice tool

Oh most still stand for the right to Ban whatever you want. Doesn't Change the fact that intentionally banning someones Main Champ to "Teach them a Lessons", Not because the enemy might Pick it, makes you a giant asshole that's activly trying to Hurt his Team.

I like how a one trick singed player is saying this. Bans other peoples one tricks, subtly flames them for being a one trick, then one tricks himself.

No it is not okay, because they one-trick for a reason. It's like a player one-tricks "Master Yi" from Bronze to Challenger and when you ban their champion it's like a guaranteed lost. They're designed to play that champion to their liking, and that forces them to get out of their comfort zone. As summarized from Pants are Dragon, It's always better to play a small group of champions, or even one-trick them. Basically saying that player specializes in playing that champion with great amount of knowledge knowing what to do. Saying if someone banned my one-tricks and forces me to play Gnar top, a high chance I'll feed that lane. Over all don't ban their one-tricks in rank. In norms sure :)

I mean, I’d never admit it. I also wouldn’t make a boards post about it because I know it’d trigger- oh, I get it.

Never mind

League is a game where one tricks are allowed and can actually help you climb. If you want to be somewhere without one tricks go play Overwatch.

yeah sure dude, ban them because you think i can only play Yasuo after multiple matches of trying to play him

You are legit trolling and not only ruining the experience for someone else, you are shooting yourself in the foot by making your team's chances of success much lower. Annie Bot, Hashinshin, Box Box, Yassuo would disagree with you about playing the game properly
