I just took a look at the most banned list on lolking, and within the two weeks that I've gone, Sejuani is not amongst the top, Ekko's face still looks like Rammus (lol) and the most surprising: Ezreal has a ban rate of 60.22%!
Could someone explain to me why he's banned so much now? I've been away and I'm struggling to see why he's seen as such a threat in ranked.
Because Runeglaive is really good on him, and nobody wants either the enemy to be powerful, nor your allies to suck as a champ they suck as, but saw in the LCS.
Because people are tired of LCS sheep/Pepinero fanboys taking 
mid on ranked and feeding the shit out of the enemy therefore ruining the game because they have no idea what they are doing since they bought the champ the other day.
The ban isn't aimed at the enemy team. It's aimed at their OWN team.
Because Runeglaive Ezreal became a thing in the LCS.
side-note, Runeglaive on Ezreal allows Q to proc Luden's for whatever reason is what I'm guessing is the issue. I don't really remember nor care for it much anymore, just tired of Ezreal's shit.
The sad part is, AP Ezreal has always been this strong. His burst has always been really high. His ult has always chunked people for half or more of their HP. It just took the pros playing him to make people realize how good he is.
Runeglaive gave AP Ezreal waveclear, mana-sustain (Q raptor's occasionally), and let his Q proc on-spell effects (such as Luden's Echo).
Because his ult can do 1.3k damage late game
I-AM-SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING! tired of this shiet, I've played ezreal ever since he was considered a 'more useless adc than corki' played the fuck out of him, got good at him, got all of his skins, raped the other lane with him, mid ap or adc whatever, BUT ONE FCKING PATCH COMES IN ONE FCKING PRO PLAYS HIM... and now he's getting banned to shit untill rito nerfs him into an unplayable state again
FUCK THIS
Smite and runeglaive getting pretty popular on him.
People were picking the New AP jungle item on champions to see how it would do in lane; one of those was AP Ezreal. Partly because it was procing Luden's and other spell effects as a bug, partly because Mystic Shot, and partly because it was picked professionally, AP Ezreal got really popular. It's getting banned that much because people don't want to see it again on either team.
Well, at least you can take a screenshot of this and post it the next time someone tries to argue that win rate and ban rate mean anything.
