PSA: Keep up with Patch Notes, ban priority changes per patch.

I've noticed people are still banning the same OP champs from 2-3 patches ago, so here's a rundown of champion that are worth bans.

Viable bans: Gangplank - He's still really strong, seeing nerfs in 6.3, but he will always be very strong in the right hands. **Udyr **- Either he destroys your team or feeds on your team. Udyr has many options for builds and is strong with every one. Tahm Kench - Although he got nerfed a bit, he still has a very good kit and is hard to deal with at times. Ezreal - He's the most OP ADC atm, with an absurdly high pick rate and win rate. He's very hard to deal with since he can kite you for days. Graves - Graves has some nerfs coming in 6.3, so in his state right now, he's definitely worth a ban. After 6.3, no longer worth the ban. Wukong - With how the meta has shifted, there's been an influx of Wukong's in games. Wukong can usually get a kill before you hit the ground after his E+R combo Elise - She has one of the best early games of all junglers currently in meta, and hits a massive damage spike once finishing Runic. Zed - He's always strong, but the champions listed above are higher priority bans compared to Zed. Poppy - She brings a lot to a team, and counters a lot of champions with dashes. If you don't like playing against her, nobody would bat an eye at you banning her out. Ryze - Ban him until patch 6.3, he's insanely strong with just mana items. Fiora - A suitable ban, as with her kit interaction now with her core item build, she becomes a late game menace. Fizz - With the introduction of 45% CDR, it's made his troll pole even worse to deal with. Although he is annoying, I still would prefer other bans on this list to Fizz. Malphite - In a heavy assassin meta, Malphite has been a good answer to blow up comps (all heavy dmg dealers or 3 ADC comps). **Corki **- Until he gets nerfs in 6.3, he's going to be a pain in the ass. His burst is at an all time high in the ADC meta, which is based around caster ADCs over AA ADCs. **Soraka **- With the new masteries, she has become one of the most annoying champions to play against. High priority ban.

Nerfed, un-viable bans: Dr Mundo - He was nerfed in 6.2, making him moderate, but not OP. Illaoi - She is considered trash tier, as she has no true CC, very slow auto attacks and is purely skill reliant. She's a horrible pick, and even worse as a ban. Shen - He's strong after his rework, but he is not strong enough to deserve a ban. He has less threat than his previous version of himself with no ranged poke. Garen - Strong, but not worth a ban. Jax - Jax saw nerfs recently, and is having some changes to hit kit in 6.3 which will make his ramp up time a bit slower. Jax is viable, but not top tier anymore. Lee Sin - Yes, he's "OP", but he is not worth banning out. He has a high ceiling skill floor and it leaves more room for mistakes to be made. Even the best Lee Sin players make mistakes.

I'm sure there's more, but I feel like people don't look at patch notes and continue to ban the same things over and over. I still have Illaoi banned in my games, and also Mundo every game. The names in bold are the ones I prefer to ban when it comes my or teammates turns to ban. As you climb in rank, there are different preferences on bans because the skill cap is higher. This is my ban list from Silver - Plat elo.
