'Nemesis Draft' featured game mode coming soon to the PBE

A new mode has come out on PBE called Nemesis Draft. It's essentially Draft pick where you ban/pick the champs for the enemy team. The point being that you give them the worst champs/composition so they perform poorly.

After playing 10 matches and going through 20 full champ selects (that were dodged before the game started), here are my findings on which champs were constantly banned or picked for the enemy team.

Tier 1 - Banned or picked in all 30 champ selects. (100% ban/pick rate): Taric, Olaf, Soraka, Aatrox, Urgot, Zac *Taric was the first champ banned or picked in every one of the 30 games. Never second, always the very first choice.

Tier 2 - Banned or picked in most. (75% ban/pick rate) Elise, Janna, Shen, Azir, Anivia, Evelynn, Nunu, Shyvana

Tier 3 - Banned or picked in some. (25% ban/pick rate) Gragas, Poppy, Alistar, Braum, Galio, Gangplank, Hecarim

Interesting who the PBE community thought were the worst champions, hardest to play. Those are literally the only champs I saw in all 30 champ selects. There were a few 1 timers like karthus, rumble, trundle, swain. But otherwise only the champs listed above.

That's really interesting. And surprising for Taric, I thought Urgot would be above Taric. But I doubt it'll be exactly the same on live, since not everyone owns every champion like they do on the PBE.

Regarding how there are only 6 ranged champs in the top 3 tiers (actually top 2), Urgot can deal lots of harass without taking damage himself. Taric is champ I constantly play top lane and go by perfectly fine. In my book Evelynn is the worst champ in the game.
