6 Bans is Enough...

Or so I thought.

All this time, I laughed and dismissed the people who said that we needed more than 6 bans. Into a ranked game I go...

Ban... DrMundo Graves Darius

Rengar TahmKench Zed

Hey guys make sure to ban-- XinZhao

oh wait...

make sure to also ban-- Udyr

wait, we don't--

MasterYi Jax Blitzcrank Elise Gangplank Fiora Riven

...

.....

I'll admit, I was wrong.

Shame on me.

(It's not even really the champions in a lot of cases, it's recent reworks/new items that are just putting a lot of them waaaay over the top. I was completely blindsided when Udyrs started being able to 1v3 while taking down 2 towers at once and still get away, and Xins being able to jump into dragon pit, get the steal, and win a 1v4 without even having his sated finished. I honestly hate going against the company cause I love Riot to death, but balance lately has been... er... not healthy. You typically use bans to keep currently op/broken/unhealthy champions from being abused, but there are so many to choose from right now that... it's kinda hard to keep ALL of them out.)

[zombie-brand-clap] Congratulations, you guys were right.

Riot made a statement late in season 5 when they buffed juggernauts. They said they wanted to make a bunch of OP picks so players couldn't ban out EVERYTHING. Well, guess what riot? This season, balance has been alot worse and theres so many OP picks now that a team could have their plan A comp banned out but still fall back on plan B which also has really strong picks as well. How is that balanced?

Also u forgot Soraka

I keep seeing posts about the number of bans increasing, is this confirmed? I couldn't seem to find anything anywhere else on the boards..I must have missed it?
