Bans

So here's a list of champs that are either a must ban, or so strong that they're going to nearly always be in your games and we're all tired of seeing them: Udyr, Mundo, Malphite, Kench, Soraka, Graves, Ezreal, Lucian, Fiora, Poppy. Honorable mentions go to[For being super unfun to play against or just putting an obnoxious timer on the game]: Zed, Riven, Nasus, Jax, Quinn, and Kindred.

Notice how that's a lot longer list than 6. It's super fun that on top of being irritated that I have to choose between a several minute long queue and being a support main because Mid/Fill gets me support all the time, I get to have a game that is littered with overpowered or game warping champions that are not fun to play against.

I have been playing regularly since season 1 and I have never been as irritated with the state of league play as I have been this season. I'm not sure what is going on at the balance team, or if the rework teams need to have more discussion with live balance, or what needs to happen. But seriously guys, do something with your game. It's super disappointing at the moment.

I think 6 bans usually covers it for the OP champions. Right now it's Graves, Udyr, and Malphite for me.

The problem is that bans should be strategic rather than necessary. We all have different preferences as to who we like to play and play against. A lot of people may disagree with many of the champions you listed.

I'm sort of bummed out with the state of supports currently because I'm a support main. Itemization is still terrible and the majority of summoners expect you to be a warding machine. I love the concept of the role, but the execution leaves me wanting more normally. I have the most fun supporting my friends, but outside that it's pretty challenging.
