Stop banning good champs, stop giving the enemy team Ashe, Udyr and Lissandra...those are braindead easy champs to play and are good. If you get stuck with someone you don't know how to play don't spend all game feeding and building random items...go with the recommended items and at least try please q_q

Just got done playing some Nemesis games.

Here's my advice.

First off, EVERY champion is good. They just aren't all on the same level.

What do I mean?

Well there are alot of Urgots going around in nemesis, and people haven't figured it out yet. Urgot MAY BE a bad ADC, but he is STILL an adc.

Why give the enemy team an ADC? (Side note: If you DO get urgot, build him ADC, not some crazy build. You got a huge advantage handed to you, don't waste it.)

What you SHOULD be doing in Nemesis Draft is putting together a weak TEAM. Not "The worst Champs in the game." Give them a bad TEAM.

All squishy supports? OK All melee tanks? OK No engage comps? OK No CC comps? OK No junglers? OK

You see how this works?

By picking their team, you get to create an advantage for your team. You get to choose what the enemy team will be bad at. Then you exploit it.

The challenge in this game mode is that it forces players to play into weaknesses, not strengths.

Itemization is extremely important.

You just might have to ADC Janna, do you know what you should be building to do that?

Also, an observation.

I am AMAZED at some of the champs that people think are "Bad".

Sejuani, Gragas and Nautilus are not bad.

Those champions will ruin your day if they are played correctly.

Also, for whatever reason you guys are doing it, stop giving out meta teams.

You may think Nunu is a bad jungle, and for whatever reason that MIGHT be a valid arguement. BUT HE IS STILL A JUNGLER. If you want them to have a bad jungler, give them all supports.

Also, if you are stuck on what to give the enemy, then give them a mechanically complex champion.

Elise is a good example here. Elise isn't bad, but if you give her to someone that has no idea what she does, they will spam two abilities max the entire game and play terrible.

EDIT: Also, FYI, AP Rammus is fun as hell.

i am thinking about construkting an ad meele only comp, garen, tryndamere, xinzhao, fiora, (yasuo, wukong, yorick, atrox,yorick) one major point of question if olaf axe is to strong as it is their only range ability. rhater giving them a wukong would be nice, but the ult adds huge cc, yasuo is squishy and has a high skillcap but his dashes give him mobility and the windall+ ult creat eproblems, atrox seems nice, but then he is the only champ who can disengage and hard cc with this jump. yorick is mostly banned, and adds a small amount of ap dmg to the enemy team.

or i kind of like the, fiora, xinzhao, wukong, talon garen, as they can only jump towards the enemys, have 0 disengage 0 range and no way to reasonably build ap.

The team you pick the enemy, should depend on the team you get. Some teams wreck others like 5x ADC team wrecks 5x bruiser team, but is wrecked by 5x AP team.

best champs to ban are nami, janna and either Zac or lulu, people need to stop banning shaco, voli or any high damage champs. you give them low damage high utility AP champs and you win. Keep it all on a theme, low ap damage ... do NOT mix them up with say a yorick when you gave them zil and nunu, you will probably have a low damage team as well and you can not kill yorick then.

Extremely toxic game mode. you either have a person banning who wants to troll (recent game they banned annie, Katarina, and cait) or trolls on your team that just want to waste your time by giving them Jinx, sona, ziggs. that was all one match, first three picks. I couldnt even bother picking at that point so happily took the 15 minute timer vs wasting 20-30 mins of trying to win with lulu nami janna.
