Low elo bans

Why do people insist on banning the LCS meta? We should be banning out the low elo champ pools that consist of tryndamere, yi, mumu, xin zhao, heimerdinger, etc.

Tryndamere, Heimer, and Yi are easy to deal with, almost no one plays Mumu in my corner of Bronze 5, and Xin can only carry if we let him. He doesn't become the unstoppable force like Vi, he's more of a Zed-like Assassin.

I can agree with this. Sometimes you want people to pick those "op" champs when they are high skill cap and them people fall on their faces.

I laugh when people ban MasterYi. Such a joke champion with an abysmal winrate and no strategic flexibility and absolutely useless until late game. Then I get pissed because I actually like playing him since he is a splitpush monster.

You should just be banning the easy to play champs. Vi, Annie, Xin Zhao, Sejuani, etc.

I think Heimer would be a good ban in low elo if I didn't play him, and i I saw him picked more (honestly he is almost always up for me and banned once or twice in the 150 games or so I've played). People in low elo don't know how to deal w/ him and let him do tons of damage. Yi I sometimes play against good ones I guess, but the only reason I'd really ban yi or tryn in low elo (I just don't see them do enough to be the reason my team would lose in games they are in) is a tryn ban bc he sucks to lane against top as Heimer.

I think Sej is still a ban I really like to ban bc she is so annoying and has enough CC to cause problems. Also I never see Xin in games I play or I'd probably ban him too.

My favorite low elo ban (although I've been doing it less since the nerf trying to see how much of an issue she still is) is jinx, since low elo struggles to end games and so she can scale up in games even if she loses lane and she can turn shit around.

Because there are retarded people who wants to become an LCS wannabes and tends to stupidly picks champs because "I dunno how to use him, but according to LCS, he's Op!".

I'd also like some input on this. I'm going to start my provisionals very soon and am quite curious. Any thoughts on banning Xerath Thresh Honestly, I don't know anything about banning champs. :L

Pretty much just ban what you see played the most. Thats for any elo. The higher you go the more meta its going to be.

Ban out champions you do not play well against.

Don't waste a ban on Xerath. Ban Blitz, Kat, Zed, Tryn, and the like. If you have to ban YI you aren't ready for ranked play.

Tryndamere is indeed OP in solo queue, but Yi is actually quite easy to shut down. Nautilus hard counters him from any role (jg top or support). Xin, Heimer, Amumu, etc are also easy to shut down.

The thought process is also to ban out your teammates from playing weak champions.

one word: SMURF

Akeydel1 votes

The only times I've come across smurfs they were playing TwistedFate, Maokai, and Blitzcrank. Except for maybe the last one, I wouldn't ban these champs in low-elo for any reason.

Godhri2 votes

There is no reliable way to know if someone is a smurf or not. Not even if they claim to be one.

BlazinHot61 votes

Especially if they claim to be one. Those are never _REAL _ smurfs.

in my (limited) experience if you dont ban Kat then youre making a big mistake. She always seems to go off

To be fair, at that elo you need to ban champs like lee sin specifically so your teammates wont pick them.
