I have to either make the choice of banning Akali atm (though next patch that won't be an issue) and leaving Vayne open so my bot lane can get smashed by her, or the opposite.

I just ban Yasuo.

Although that's partly due to being a marksman main.

According to OP.GG he has a 1.6% pickrate NA bot lane, so you are better off banning something else.

Just kitten, delete Yasuo.

Implying I can trust my mid laner to not feed him if he's picked by the other team, or to feed and not powerspike despite going 0-12.

I ban the most picked which is ezreal. I'm most likely to hit a good ban that way.

Thresh is currently the most picked champion though

I guess different websites have different statistics, but according to champion.gg Thresh has the highest pick rate right now

Yea, it is also however unfortunate that there are so many good bans right now.

I wish I could ban Irelia Akali LeeSin XinZhao - Too Much solo Carry Potential Zoe Anivia Lissandra Ahri - Annoying to Lane against Jax - Late game kinda too strong for his good lane phase Ezreal Lucian Vayne - Ez and lucain are too popular, and vayne is just ugg to fight Brand Zyra Velkoz - Seeing them support every game is getting old.

Yeah, it's kind of crazy how literally all of those you mentioned are really good bans and leaving any of them open can feel nightmarish to play against. I'd also like to add Alistar Cassiopeia Karthus Aatrox Thresh and Pyke to that list. What's truly annoying is how a lot of these picks have been OP for months but for some reason Riot has left them completely untouched. I don't mind if Riot wants to nerf these OP champs or buff the other champs to be on the same level as them but it's getting ridiculous that the gap between top tier and the tier below them is so huge.

I actually don't mind playing against those guys as much. Cassiopeia -Slightly too Spam but can run out of mana.
Karthus - Im not sure I understand the issue Dodge his Q? Alistar - Annoying but I play mostly melee champs that like being close to the enemy sooo. Aatrox - See Alistar Pyke - His damage or his healing needs a nudge down the rest seems fine Thresh - see alistar.

I mean but that is just me.

I would like to personally blame alot of the irritation of the op champs as having systematically too high of damage. Its actually pretty hard to avoid taking damage from those guys and it hurts alot. Its pretty jarring getting stuck standing there against burst champions that also have decent cc. I would say Ryze falls under this same play pattern issue.

Cassiopeia - I'm not entirely sure what it is that is currently making her so strong, but a new skill path, where you leave E until last to max is seeing surprisingly good results and she is terrorising the bottom lane. Karthus - Jungle Karthus with the reworked Dark Harvest is insane and he only needs to afk farm and ult whenever his team needs him to. Super uninteractive and almost no counterplay to him at the moment. Alistar - Has been knocked down slightly, but still has absolutely insane engage and follow up CC and tankiness. Pyke - Waaay too low risk for too high a reward, nerfing his sustain might be enough to give him a more exploitable weakness. Thresh - A good Thresh is an absolute nightmare for melee champions as all of his abilities can be used defensively as well. Try getting to the enemy carries through a slow, stun and knock back. Even if you get to the carries he can lantern them away from you again. He has waay too much protection for a champion who's meant to catch the enemies.

Again, I see those as meh compared to the bigger issue champs.

They are all just as big of an issue as the ones you stated and are all definitely in the top tier of champions as well.

I ban Thresh but then the enemy support just picks Blitzcrank or Pyke. :L

Different sites state different things. I don't think any of them say Lee Sin though

Really? Now that aatrox and Galio got nerfed I sometimes don't know who to ban so I default to thresh.

Unless I'm jungling or top lane, then I ban morgana and renekton respectively.

if you are banning lucian i pray for your rank

I ban kayle even with her nearly non existent pick rate cuz i dont like kayles and theres no one with 60%+ winrate so no ones currently broken.****

Sometimes I ban no champion because I realize it has no intrinsic value to the quality of the game.

Lucian is like the only good marksman atm. Its not that he's broken, he's just viable, unlike most. Of all your other mentions, only Jax is really broken. Others are just very strong, but they do not limit counterplay.
