The Ban system is not right.

Lady Luminous··2 votes·1,050 views

So I just went into a Normal Draft game. I know its a normal but this could happen in ranked. I get supp my main role and pick lux. Our Jhin bans lux seeing I chose her. I got mad a bit and in chat I wrote. "Wtf I showed you I want to take lux. He replied "She is not supp". I understand people dont like AP supports because they can steal kills but I enjoy them because they can turn the game around unlike Janna or Thresh (unless they are god like players). But really. can't he just tell me he doesn't like Lux and not ban her like that. I would understand and pick Sona but this way it just gets me mad. I wrote "But I got masterie 5 and almost 6 on her playing mostly lux supp" (85% lux supp the other 15% mid). And he told me "bla bla bla". I could take Sona and play with him but I could see he was a toxic player. I didn't pick a champion and his last comment just really made me wonder why players can ban champions that we sygnalized we want to pick. He saw I was mad and that Iwouldnt pick a champion and said "Ok pick Lux".

I know I could have done better but really the way he did it. Im not new to league. Its my second year playing but I never ran into a player like that.

Sometimes people suck. The way around this particular form of assholery is to not show your pick intent until after ban phase.

Sorry that happened :/

Because of lux buffs I don't think you will get lux cause the community is potato

Were you first pick ?

The ban system is okay, i should be able to ban any champion if the teammate who wants to pick it is not first pick since the ennemy team could pick it as well.

I was second pick. I didnt have bans though

Solution: Don't show your team your intended pick. I haven't showed my intended pick since about week two of the new champ select and it's worked fine for me... sure sometimes they ban the champ I want to play, albeit rarely and once in a while the other team takes my pick, but that happens.

One way to avoid getting trolled is not put yourself in a position to allow people to troll you.

Just pick a horrible off the wall support any time they do that. Stick it to them and don't let anyone bully you.

Perfect. Take smite, clearly communicate and counter JG all game. Careful if you proxie and counter JG too well you may accidentally win.

Actually, I would sooner ban a teammate's Sona than I would Lux. At this point in League, I'm afraid to ban out any support champ, solely for the fear that if I do they'll intentionally troll pick Sona instead. You want to play Lucian support? Power to you. Darius support? Hey, he has a pull, that's hard CC, technically more CC than Sona has. Lux is far more legit of a support pick than Sona.

There are some a**holes in this game. I main AD, and I would not like to see a Lux support. I rarely see her do well. But that is beside the point. I'll play who I wanna play, and let my support play who they're most comfortable on. Especially in normals. In ranked, I'll dodge if I have a really bad feeling about it, but normals are normals.

I understand you. I concider myself a good lux supp. My ranked KP (on lux) is around 54%. I also ended one with 10/5/29 for my stats and I feel my skills on her are quite high but as I said I understand your point of view. And Im happy knowing the fact that despite you dislike her as a supp you understand players playing her (that double play use xd). Thanks for the comment.

Janna can't turn around games? Why are there high diamond Janna otps then that have climbed exclusively playing her then lol.

Lady Luminous1 votes

I wrote they can. Read the comment in the bracket.

Åeolus2 votes

You acted like Janna is really underpowered and you need to be able to play her perfectly to get carried which I completely disagree with.

Lady Luminous1 votes

Sorry. I see did get it wrong now ><

It's cool, btw I'm not the one down voting you. And I didn't really focus on the topic of your thread sorry lol. I get a bit triggered at times when people say that its impossible to climb with certain champions. Lux is a fine support and that guy was just being a jerk. I don't think the ban system needs to be changed though.
