Disabling champs for event game modes

Hey riot, if you want to disable specific champs in game modes like OFA then you need to think about which ones they are. Why on earth would you sit down and think "Huh, teemo makes one for all not fun" but not simultaneously think "Huh, playing against 5 heimers is about as fun as afking in base"?

Honestly, either think about the choice or just leave them all in.

Playing against five Yoricks was the least fun I've ever had playing league of legends.

I would have to agree. A lot of what makes this gamemode toxic is matchup, NOT specific champions.

with 10 bans implemented in OfA, I can no longer see justification for completely removing Teemo out of the gamemode if riot isn't going to do the same thing with Heimerdinger Shaco etc.

I'd rather they just show us who we're against so we can at least queue dodge instead of wasting 15 minutes in an impossible to win game.

Won a game against heim using brand. Every pick has counters... except teemo.

Actually had a blast playing an all zoe match. But playing against AP blitz gave me cancer........

Good point. It's a rotating game mode. It's supposed to be fun. You should be able to pick whoever the heck you want, even if that means a team of "tilt incarnate".

I think the only disabled champions are Teemo and Karthus, for the obvious reason that the entire map being mines or dying every 2 minutes because they have 5 karthus ults is never fun and requires banning both to have a mild chance of playing the game.

I played this mode for the exactly one game required for the mission, because more champs than can be banned are too horrible to even comprehend in multiple. I played it when it was first released, as 5 Jinx vs 5 Riven, and we shut those jumpy brawlers down and kept them there by walling them in with Flame Chompers until their death timers let us push unopposed.

i won renekton vs heim in one for all. you just gotta sit under tower and walk up in range of their spells every time ur e is up, e out, then go all in when they're oom. then the snowball never stops. grab adaptive helm after tiamat, then finish the full dmg build (ravenous, bc, ga)

You could say that for every champ. Playing against 5 Lux's is as fun as afking in base too, MF too.

Two champs are perma banned. Karthus (I really feel like I don't need to explain why he is banned in One For All), and Teemo. Who's reason for being banned is simple. 5 Teemo's wandering into the Jungle means that the Jungle is the beach of Normandy. 5 Teemo's going into a lane, means that lane is the beaches of god damn fucking Normandy. With Heim, he needs to be close to his turrets for them to kill you. And you can see them. And destroy them. Teemo? Only with oracle buff.

Not fun when one Yasuo can ult off another Yasuo's ultimate.

But it's the kind of shit you expect.
