Banning Champions in Hexakill Would Be Nice

Has this been talked about yet? Probably. Oh well, here goes....

In Ascension we were able to ban champions. It helped prevent games from being horribly one-sided, and maybe even very fun for some of us. Hexakill is a fun massacre-style game mode, but it doesn't have bans.

I have seen Katarina in every. Single. Game.

Obviously there's a handful of champions that are difficult to deal with on this map, but Katarina dominates every game she is in so far, unless our team just happens to have a better Katarina. The games are literally being decided by 1 champion, more or less. Just from my experience so far. Just not finding Hexakill fun at this point :\

EDIT: RANT TIME: Everybody saying , "Oh just bring CC". I play with gold-diamond players in these games, so I assume that we have some idea of how to play. Katarina can bounce all over the damn place (making it hard to even hit cc on her), and with 5 other players piling on top of your team, it can become close to impossible to kill her, and keep the rest of the team from killing you. Your choice is either focus Katarina completely and let the enemy team beat on you while she bounces around and Zhyonas, etc.... and die. Or, don't focus her, let her get resets, and die anyway.

So much for playing the game for fun, gotta build a team specifically to stop Katarina from raping face.

TL;DR: QQ.

i wish riot would at least address this issue by perma-banning both kat and yi who are both extremely frustrating to deal with. yi is added because of resets and the fact that he will do 1k damage to everyone on your team while being untargetable.

6 people on your team and not even one of them has anything they can do about Kat?

Make sure someone plays Fiddlesticks next time.

Yeah Katarina isn't OP and can be countered blah blah. But if you ask me, it's pretty stupid that you have only 3 options in Hexakill:

  1. Pick heavy CC champion in every game.
  2. Pick your own Katarina and try to roll your face over keyboard faster than the other Kata.
  3. Do none of these and get completely dumpstered, if Katarina happens to be in enemy team (and she will in 9/10 games).

It is a little disgusting how good she is in this mode. I was enjoying the new Hexakill for a bit but it didn't take long for people to start spamming the easy-win champs and making every game all about them. Katarina is the worst, but Yi and Fizz are pretty bad too. Bans would be a nice addition to make sure the game isn't a matter of "Which team has the better Kat/Yi?" every match.

Play Cho'Gath.

Pay attention to her movement and think of where she might go / who she might try to kill. If she jumps into your team to ult, scream in her face OR you can point-blank Rupture her and eat her before she comes down to Zhonyas.

Also Fiddlesteeeeeeks has 2 ways of stopping her ult but he's a little less reliable due to his squishiness.

Warwick Save ult for team fight when she is in range jump on her. Grab Wits end first time if vs heavy AP, not only does the attack speed help along with magic resist but 42 magic damage per attack works with WW ult. Found that out while wanting to try him out. Kat was wrecking us. So i basically wanted to end it and WW can. And honestly is OP in Hexakill, after poking before team fight his E makes finding low champs easy.

EDIT: Also if you really want to only Focus Kat or high burst AP champ that is wrecking item 3156 Helps your ult damage wise and saves you if the passive is up if insta bursted.

Every game is always the same, and it pisses me off because I enjoy the mayhem of Hexakill

Agree with OP. First of all, not only is EVERYONE is fixed by CC, basically everyone has CC. Not a valid argument.

Is the guy going 0/200/0 becoming a huge problem? CC'll fix him alright. Is the guy going 200/0/0 becoming a huge problem? CC'll put his ass in place alright! Just give him the 'ol tally ho, CC away and all your problems will be fixed. Now stop complaining old chap while Master Yi screws you in the ass.
