What happened to banning being relevant to what you're playing?

Yasuo is autobanned pretty much every game. I personally like playing him, so I'd say 2/10 matches I'll get that chance. Anyway I won't make this a yasuo qq I don't get to play my main thread.

This thread is about why don't people ban relevant to what they're playing for example. When Xayah and Rakan were released, people auto banned them. then hurr durrr they found out they were not op and stopped autobanning them.

This really goes for anything now. Riot implemented the 10 ban system so that people won't know what you're going to pick for example. If I playNasus I'm going to ban Teemo because Teemo counters Nasus. Same goes for if I'm playing Garen. I'm not going to sit here and ban some op top laner because "everyone is doing it" or anything like that. My bans are relevant. IMO if I'm playing Yasuo mid I'm going to ban Akali because she shits on Yasuo. If people just knew about this they would let people pick Yasuo and play Akali. That's it, there's no other reason to argue about it.

I know some people absolutely want to play their champ and that's why you ban your champs counter. not some released champ or champ that you consider op or ban out of habit.

So league players. What happened to the old banning your counter. I have not seen that since season 3 and 4.

As it happens, Yasuo IS my counter. So that is a win-win for me if I ban him

I like playing immobile mages. Yasuo and other assassins counter immobile mages. So I'm always going to ban an assassin.
