Permabanned champs

I am fairly new to lol. I'm level 30 but don't have 16 champs or all the runes I want before I start ranked. However I would still like to know the permabanned champs. I know they change depending on elo so I figured I may be able to take advantage of that since I will start out in low elo I could master a high elo permabanned champ, thus allowing me to already start out stomping people.

Also useful just to know which champions to watch out for.

So just post what champions you normally see banned every game and your rank/division. Thanks.

This may be off topic, so I apologize. But why are the champions that are banned different for each level? I figured their would be the same problems regardless of which tier you're in.

Dont forget that the champions that are banned are always changing and as you go up in the rankings they tend to change as well. I recently managed to move up from silver 5 to plat 5 and I can tell you the most commonly banned champions from each league.

Silver:

Blitzcrank - he can really be annoying in lane and his pulls can mean certain death if landed.

Amumu - His ult can become really annoying and can be seen as op in teamfights

Nasus - He is always op late game, wether you shut him down or not

Gold:

Riven: She can become a real problem in lane and is one of the best champions for carying if played correctly

Fizz: Similar to riven in the idea that he can carry if he is fed enough

Malphite: his ult can be really annoying and if given the chance to be played with a yasuo, man the combo op

Plat:

Eve: with the changes to vision she can be seen as over-powered

Shyvana: Amazing champion if built correctly

Mundo: His ultimate works extremely well with the changes to masteries

Overall as i moved up i saw people saying that blitz pulls were not a problem as people learn how to dodge them but later become an issue in diamond when people become good at landing them. Similar situation with amumu.

The champions that are easiest to carry with preseason 4 would have to be shyvana, mundo, eve, and definitely nasus.

But if you really want to know what champion to carry with I would say your best :)! Every champion can be good if played with the right person.

Kassadin appears on the battlefield once a blue moon. Always ban him. Blitz and Thresh are nightmare Supports to face.

From there the bans are more varied. Nasus, Zed, Shyvana are all popular bans as well

In pretty much every elo, Kass is banned. Rightly so, since in the right hands he turns a match into a one-sided mess.

These are Korean only (I think) statistics, but you can see ban/pick percentages for each tier here:

http://op.gg/statistics/pickban/ (May require some time or multiple attempts to load depending on server use.)

They are currently translating the site and planning on expanding services to NA/EU as well but it's a good resource to see win rates, MMR calculations if you play ranked, and many other useful data.
