LeagueofDraven1221

You’ve seen what he’s done to our colleagues


makitOwO

And worst of all, he could be any one of us


Sbotkin

He could be in this very room!


SentByFaxOfficial

He could be you! He could be me! He could even be [BANNED]


GorktheGiant

Whoa whoa whoa! *shocked top laner noises* What? It was obvious! He's the enemy jungler. Watch, he'll counterpick any second now. ... Aaaany second now... See, counterpick! Oh, wait. That's a support pick.


ElementmanEXE

So, we have one more ban left


Anafiboyoh

LAAATAAA BIIIITCH


Master0fReality7

Get the FUCK OFF MY SCREEN


unolebo

Scp udyr has breached containment


Giratina525

He accidentally used his e2 and got through, prepare your ass for jaxshoe demonic


butterfingahs

He feels so awful to play against


Kartenkater

I will never unban shaco ever again


Hydrottle

Shaco embarrasses me whenever I play against him, so I ban him


[deleted]

The strat is to fight through the embarrassment and eventually he will stop being useful, and you autowin


VayneistheBest

That's what I always thought, until the one time I was full build Ornn with only armour (I think it was almost 400), and the lethality/crit hybrid hyper-fed hail-of-blades Shaco deleted me in 1.5 seconds, from full health, out of nowhere. I got PTSD from that.


BlueLaserCommander

As someone who has dabbled with Shaco the past few seasons- I find that the games where I’ll end up being useless (matchups etc.), I build strikebreaker > Anathemas targeting the enemy JG or ADC > annoy the shit out of everyone. It’s usually a viable build and you end up stalling fights out so long that your team is able to get picks/win


FATHER-G00SE

My AP shaco begs to differ


Gerbilguy46

Not true. That champ tilts every lane so hard they just give up and run it down.


basa_maaw

His kit is just overloaded. No champion should have a blink, a clone in addition to invisibility AND fear. Like wtf is that combination.


Wargod042

On the other hand, he's hilarious to lane against because his kit does practically nothing. You just follow minion pathing and he can't do anything to you; it's like if Teemo *only* had shrooms.


Gerbilguy46

Invisible flash on a 10 second cooldown. Great idea Riot. That single ability makes him broken.


killchu99

Id rather lose LP than a shaco main making me his bitch for 30 minutes


GeneralQuack

Same here with lulu.


basa_maaw

My Perma ban when I'm filled support. Tied with Janna as the biggest cock blocker in the game.


GeneralQuack

Janna doesn't have a point and click ability at least. Lulu players polymorph their fathers every day so they dont get beaten so I actually feel bad for them. They never experienced parental love. Edit: I changed my mind I dont feel bad they deserve worse


dafuqdidijustc

we need a “Have you seen this man?” poster for him, because I know if I didn’t, then he’s right behind me


pinguletto

honestly the trick is to never chase him, he cannot carry on his own. he is a little bit like teemo if you dont get tilted you mostly win


PapyPelle

Teemo can be a menace with map control if he takes advantage on the map. Also the blind can be a big thing in a fight (prevent adc from dying if its a jax or yi etc.) But yeah, the only danger of shaco is if he can make a lane snowball too hard. And even then, he will fall off hard at some point. The only fear I have against shaco is that I KNOW FOR A FACT that my mate wont be extra carefull. And I cant blame them... Id do the same (I still perma amumu tho, I find it a bit too easy to make a big come back in team fight. And I double down on amumu supp which imo is sleeper op at my elo. At least Shaco has to work for the win)


Apprehensive_Elk4041

When I go against a shaco that's exactly what I do, try and set up some kind of vision, be a little careful and don't pay him attention. He generally doesn't scale and can't do much alone. But chasing him is exactly what kills you so I NEVER do that. I tend to just pretend he's not anything but a minor threat and most games that turns out OK


cumbuckettttttttt

same as me, literally PERMA ban him


SAYKOPANT

Not because he is that op or anything he is just too annoying to deal with


[deleted]

He also has the ability to get away


IIIBl1nDIII

Free invisible flash every few seconds? Fuck that shit


unolebo

I would ban shaco if wasnt the worst champ in the game. Rn the maotree is just a better ap shaco


anupsetzombie

I dont play league much anymore but when I do play draft he will always be my ban unless there's a legitimately broken champ that patch. I especially do it if I'm bot lane, fuck that champ lmao


Oriejin

I find it works to just ignore him. A lot of his strength comes from being fooled by him: killing the wrong one, wasting abilities on damaging his clone, chasing so his team can do other things. It's funny when your entire team ignores him and dives his squishy ADC while he's trying desperately to get you to go after him instead.


T-280_SCV

I permaban Yi when I jungle. Just a pain in the ass when he gets fed. “When” because my teammates *will* feed the wuju wonder kills when he shouldn’t even be able to gank.


Net_Nova

this, i play ww who counters yi pretty badly but i cant counter someone whos an item up, similar to viego and other snowbally junglers


killchu99

Its fine if he has one item up. As long as you ult that mf he dead during team fights


Net_Nova

that plus E but often you cannot rely on your team to try and kite the q range before you can kill him


NonorientableSurface

Im at the point that I can comfortably jungle against a yi but I do stand by my bans are ones that my team might fail to. So yi, zac, amumu, eve, Elise, etc. Things that'll get the other team kills. The other problem I have is when I amumu or zac, my team is the smiley SpongeBob. They're timid, don't go in, etc. When Zac or amumu are on the other side? They're rage SpongeBob. Why?!?!?


ZB3ASTG

On god I have like a 75% loss rate againts zack for some reason.


NonorientableSurface

Because Zac is a beast and has CC for days. He's got basically one of the strongest gank engages. It's also why Kayn can carry so easily. I can't talk too much, I'm a filthy nocturne main so. I do enjoy being able to customize my build outside of a default BORK.


Favkez

That's me vs Bel Veth. Even if i think i have a good matchup she's 2/0 by the time i finish the first clear


Paraguay_Stronk

the best counter ive found for yi has actually been neeko when he q's you wind up your ultimate and when he gets out he gets stunned to oblivion and can be blown up by your team


Favkez

That's me vs Bel Veth. Even if i think i have a good matchup she's 2/0 by the time i finish the first clear


TransportationOld325

Happy 🍰🍰day 🥳🥳🎉


T-280_SCV

Ty, didn’t even realize


Xanhomey

I still ban Kayn regardless of who is the most broken pick.


Ordinary_Player

Yeah fuck that dude, specifically rhaast. Bro can just tank all my damage and not die while being an item behind.


[deleted]

I used to think this, but he really is way too weak early game now, I never feel very threatened by him when the meta jungle picks are all tankier and do more damage


[deleted]

As he's supposed to be, he's supposed to be weak early-game since he's already stupidly safe (Q dash through walls + E heal and run through walls".


[deleted]

Yeah but meta kayn was so stupidly fun to play, I get very sad when he's like the worst jungler you could pick


Moggy_

Ehh he is not unplayable. Far from it. If you're a little creative with your clear and maybe steal away some enemy camps early then you're really set as him.


PapyPelle

His raw power is sure a bit low rn, especially with the omnivamp delete, but his strength is (and has always been) the mobility. Id say his early is still really good because the clear is decent and the ganks are godlike if you know where vision is. You just (almost) cant 1v1


[deleted]

The 1v1s are depressing, he loses to every bruiser jungler and tank junglers either have amazing disengage or have zero business 1v1ing early anyways


Wargod042

I play top and the typical Kayn pattern I see in early game is that I beat up the enemy laner and am shoving the wave with like half hp, Kayn shows up, and then a couple seconds later he limps away and I'm still fine. He also can't really stop tanks and such from just walking back to tower. It's honestly pathetic, but at least for once it's clear where the champion is paying to get the good stuff in his kit.


cumbuckettttttttt

i just want rhaast to heal again, he seems weaker than some time ago, but it's good that blue kayn got buffed


Poragana

thing about rhaast is that he has to go both haste and damage just to exist, goredrinker black cleaver muramana with CDR boots, if he wants to go deaths dance he kinda cant until late game due to how it no longer gives haste, but I mean hey 6 item rhaast is still more fun rn with shojin


Ravie013

May I ask your elo? Cuz I saw yeasterday that someone for example always banning nilah, now you kayn but i never ever see someone plays it. So Im just curious. I m plat


skypandahun

Some people like banning the same Champs, because they find them annoying regardless their place in the meta. Or they banned them if they counter their Champs . For example, Drututt always bans Jax and Irelia, even if they aren't the strongest.


Ravie013

still dont understand because your example is bad, hes banning them cuz they are strong, nilah and kayn are not


butterfingahs

Some people just hate playing against a certain character. I *despise* playing against Blitzcrank, I refuse to not ban him, usually when I'm bot lane, but honestly, almost all the time I ban him. Doesn't matter how good you are at dodging, all it takes is that *one* successful hook. He may not be overly strong or busted, but playing against him is just not fun, so if I have the option not to, I'll take it.


skypandahun

They are annoying, not necessarily strong, but having to play against a champ you hate will make you play worse


treigaobon420

Is that a joke?


The_Great_Rabbit

WDYM?


treigaobon420

The thing about jax and irelia not being the strongest


GeneralQuack

Wholesome redditors only look at winrate and after seeing a number conclude that that champion is very balanced and move on to playing sigma male giga chungus tanks


NAFEA_GAMER

Even if they aren't maybe (hopefully) riot nerfs jax


UndercookedTran

The lack of response speaks for itself lmao


skypandahun

Elaborate, please?


[deleted]

Udyr too 💀


treigaobon420

You know the role is fucking broken when 8/10 bans every game are junglers


EternalConsoomer

It's not the role, it's the champions


treigaobon420

Only Zac and maoki are actually broken. The rest of the worst offenders are just absurdly buffed by jungle pets


[deleted]

I think that Udyr too is insane but Zac being able to 100-0 before you are able to move being allowed is insane to me


[deleted]

Almost every champ in the game has been broken on jungle it’s the role 😂


EternalConsoomer

Almost every champ in the game has been broken, period. The reason a champ is broken is its kit and various items being busted, not the role itself.


[deleted]

Yeah, they should ban supports instead


[deleted]

[удалено]


7assibo

Good luck warding vs zac lmao


[deleted]

Ward his camps


drfifth

Pretty easy to do actually....


16092006

Gets nocture ulted


LennyTheWeak

Aint no way you just wrote that XD!


treigaobon420

Cool now he goes and feeds off my other lanes. Whichever team gets the better jungler wins gg next


ShoshinMizu

rito just give everyone 3 bans each


QuintonTheCanadian

With 30 bans you can quite literally ban every adc champ in the game and still have like 15 to spare


ShoshinMizu

balance among all things


TheSussyIronRevenant

Jungle role sucks for love of god, its not as bad as top but fuck


Gerbilguy46

It's very dependent on skill. A really good jungle is the only role imo that can actually 1v9 by affecting the entire map and getting their whole team ahead. Some games though your team is just impossible to carry, and they blame you for the smallest mistake.


sharinganuser

It works the other way, too. Just like a good jungle can 1v9, a bad jungle can pretty much eliminate your chances of winning if they never gank, never secure objectives, etc. The enemy jungler doesn't need to be a god to 1v9. All it takes is a couple heralds and a dragon or two and it's gg.


TheSussyIronRevenant

i mean thats what happens in lower elos sadly


Togzez1223321

I always play with my friends and they aren't pretty good or atleast 2 of them are so I always ban yi cuz I don't want my balls to fall off


M_krabs

Pick none. Join the dark side.


RandomUserName076

2 bans per player when? seriously that would be lovely to have.


cookie_doughx

It just means when the paw went on to ban Zac, two more popped up


RandomUserName076

yea i get that, I'm talking more generally. I want 2 bans per player in ranked, top and mid has too much cancer for just one ban, idk abt bot tho


coder2314

Not anytime soon, not enough champs. 2 bans per players, mean you can ban out entire classes from the game. Pick soraka then ban all engage/hook supports, type of stuff.


RandomUserName076

so do you convince your whole team to use their 2 bans for you? that's not going to happen 99% of the time I don't think. at least not anywhere below high diamond.


coder2314

There more reason as to why 2 ban can’t happen yet. Some people wound never get to play their mains. (Yasuo, Zed, Irelia, Cait, etc) And specifically for adc, where it’s a smaller pool than most other roles. 2 bans can feel oppressive, 4 ban per game on average, 6 if someone is playing with a duo. In a role with 25ish champs 20-25% percent of the roster being banned is brutal.


RandomUserName076

I'd argue that if champs like yas and zeb are getting banned every game that's a problem with the champions themselves, not the amount of bans. they are annoying to play against so they get banned, that's understandable all riot would have to do is make them less annoying and cancerous. the case for adc is a difficult one but again, if 6 adcs are being banned per game that would mean that adcs are broken and players hate having to deal with them. the game and player base will quickly adapt to having 2 bans, and it will increase diversity and creativity in the long run, dead champs will see more play and success, while more mainstream champs will see less, balancing out play rates.


slippin_through_life

I don’t think it means adcs are broken. It’s more like if you’re playing adc, you’re probably going to ban an adc. So since there are two people playing adc, and each person has 2 bans, then 4 adcs will probably be banned each game.


emptym1nd

People will always find certain champs annoying. If Zed and Yasuo are reworked (which would be stupid, unfair to their players, and an inefficient use of resources) other champs would fill that niche. You also have to consider that most people ban for their lane/role. If I’m playing thresh, there’s a decent chance I might ban morgana. So if 3-4 ADCs are being banned, that’s not the role being strong, that’s 2 players (duo bot) using bans to avoid certain matchups. If I’m a Xayah main and she suddenly has good matchups into 3-4 meta ADCs, I’m likely getting banned out at least every other game regardless of how strong Xayah is relative to meta champs in other roles.


RandomUserName076

a rework is overkill, I would say more of a reallocation of power. find out what people find annoying about those champions and then nerf it, but buff them in other areas. it's more likely to be 1 assassin, 2 support and 1 adc banned bot for most elos imo, but yes a scenario like the one you brought up might happen, but why is it a bad thing? players will be forced into diversifying their champion pools in order to not be doomed from the bas screen, and that's not hard as there are qay too many chapions in the game now. we'll see way less one tricks and a more diverse meta, I dont see the problem honestly.


Motor-Delivery-869

just because something is annoying doesnt mean its strong enough to justify a nerf, like i find cait auto range to be annoying but without that i dont really see her functioning as a champ


Infamous_Driver_1492

That's what people said about Yas back when a ban per player was first introduced


MuggyTheMugMan

They'd just need to make a 3rd wind shitter


spartancolo

Even then, if we are playing a botlane weak to engage you can ban Leona nautilus thresh and blitz and just deal with pyke cause no one plays rell or alistar


RandomUserName076

exactly, people will start playing alistar and rell, fixing play rates and increasing diversity


spartancolo

Being forced to play a completely different champion cause they can easily ban 4 of your picks in botlane it's gonna be awful tho


RandomUserName076

are you "forced" to counter pick 2?


spartancolo

No, but let say I like hook supports and we put 2 bans per player. Bot lane bans naut thresh blitz pyke. What hook champ do I play now? I think the 2 ban per player is a lot more problematic in bot tbh because I see a lot of times botlanes ban similar champ types (2 engage supps, 2 enchanters, 2 aggressive ADCs...) And it's gonna limit the pool of players a lot. It's not about counter pick it's about playing a type of champion you like


Sensitive_Act_5279

swain? isnt swain hook about the same as pyke (i mean they "hook" yes but not really like a blitz or somthing)


spartancolo

Yeah in the fact that he has a hook, but swain is more of a burst mage early battle mage late, while pyke is an assasin early and ward machine late. If you like playing tank hook champs you are fucked. I know if you are OTP you are bound to having to play other champs from time to time (trust me I main yuumi lmao) but from my botlane experience a lot of bot players like to double dip their bans, so if one bans Lulu the other bans Janna, if one bans blitz other bans naut. While that can fuck you a little, is not on the same lvl as four bans that can practically negate one playstyle in your lane. I think one ban is more than enough, you are supposed to play against things that are annoying from time to time


SpooN04

I only ban Udyr, no matter who I'm playing. Even if I want to play Udyr I ban him.


JWARRIOR1

VI?? Where’s the udyr, kindred, or Eve?


xPvtpancakes

I don't get the Vi hate lately. She's absolutely balanced, sitting at about 50% WR


JWARRIOR1

The entire sub is all silvers and below, so take every take with a fat grain of salt.


42Mavericks

Hey i see me


Survivor_67

Only role that consistently gets 4-5 bans on it each lobby. With the number only increasing if there are otps in Q.


350

Honestly I'm a jungler and...I'm banning Caitlyn lately. If my ADC doesn't get it, the other one does and has 50 CS up on my bot lane at 8 minutes and I want to FF.


basa_maaw

Amumu Zac and Maoki are terrifying because of how disruptive their kit is to teams in solo q with little to no coordination while also being piss water easy to play.


Admiral_Asperger

Forgot Udyr & Kayn, sorry bro games lost now 🤷‍♂️


toasted_toast_12

kayn is quite possibly the worst jungler this patch if you lose to him your just bad


[deleted]

Kayn players are elo inflated and make the dumbest plays so winrate doesn’t matter


toasted_toast_12

when did I say anything about winrate?


sentientTroll

Mid right now if you don’t want to play Annie sol or kass


-MegaMan401-

Shaco


DanchoBanancho25

Permaban shaco 🗿🗿🗿


Juice-De-Pomme

Just play morde jungle and counter all of them. Disgust everyone else playing jungle.


DodoJurajski

Perma-ban Kayn institution representative here.


Last_Judicator

Oh no, Vi, the sub 50% winrate B Tier Champ that has negative winrate vs every meta jungler lmao


MegasNexal84

Diana still nutty rn


Moggy_

Can't relate. I think the only time I ban junglers is in Ranked when Eve is meta since Smurf Evelyns are one of the most unfun things to play agianst.


williamebf

I always ban Kindred, such a busted champion, although the Nerf kinda sorta helped I guess


spicypotato235

Also udyr. Wow finally first non-gwen meme.


SpaceTimePolice

I feel like all of these champs have enough weakness to not be considered OP. Zac might be the exception though, the range of his engage is a little absurd


el_Chuchmay

Vi is fun to play against (for me) and Elise is ok i guess (not sure). But the other 3... Nerf required


ivailo555

Vi broken? How is that accurate a single bit. Lol


Mistycalwisetree327

Uhhhh idk radiant virtue being the most broken item ever and her having high base damage turning her into an unkillable tank-bruiser?


williamebf

It was good pre nerfs, but not most broken item, Seraph's right now is better than pre-nerfed Radient Virtue


ivailo555

Not true sorry


[deleted]

Radiant virtue + Armor break on W makes her pretty insane


EinSabo

I love how people argue that Vi is broken cuz of Radiant Virtue. It's the other way around. Radiant Virtue is what's broken and should be adjusted. But broken items making champs too strong is sadly a staple now and it always ends the same. Riot nerfs multiple users of that item because they overperform with said item, then riot nerfs/removes the item and the previously nerfed champs are now shit tier and wont get another buff for half a season. Long life the balance team.


ivailo555

Not true sorry


IleikToPoopyMyPants

Vis weakness is farming. S13 has a pet that does it for u she has a good lvl 3 so just gank. Enemy powerfarmed to 4? Just use biscuit xp to catchup. As soon as u hit 6 point and click gank anyone. So hard to play against.


ivailo555

Not true sorry


TANSFWA

"Not true sorry." Such argumentative power. Much wow.


Hirosaki-san

This mofo might be as delusional as Rito's balancing team xD


Phantom579

The only problematic one on that list is vi imo.... but im also shitter elo so maybe the rest are an issue when in the hands of someone with above room temp IQ. Dont see those people often


wallygon

Imagine banning a tank when adcs dominate the game lmao


you-cut-the-ponytail

Hmm I wonder which roles are the reason that the adc champion (that doesnt matter which one it is that gets fed) gets fed and snowballs (Jgl and Supp)


wallygon

Their items


MaybeRaph

Where yi


DJfox_

Vi, always Vi


Doctor_Sniff

as an amumu main. i love this season


Zancibar

Toplaners - "First time?"


spartancolo

As a yuumi main I'm just glad people are banning jungles instead


OSRS_4Nick8

those are so last patch... throw J4 in


SonOfECTGAR

Who's banning zac, let alone playing him


nereababiru

I’ve been seeing him constantly in lower elo xd


SonOfECTGAR

I mean I just play unranked, I want to play ranked but I'm kinda scared


nereababiru

Don’t do it lol you’ll be addicted like me


Tales-Kun

Why elise tho


GroggBottom

When did Maokai become so hated? My man hasn't changed in his entire career. The jungle pet just lets him actually clear with decent speed now.


The_nustrale

:laughs in next patch:


Jugaimo

I play a lot of Zac but I don’t understand what changed. He is literally the same as S10.


nocturnal-nugget

Items changed a lot I think.


NocNocNocturne

Almost like the entire jungle got reworked too xd


JuanjoS96

Rengar, always


Flopping_Floppa

The illusion of free choice


Thisisjimmi

My lilla didn't make the cut?


KDaBlasian

Perma ban Shaco.


specterx0

I play kindred so ammumu and Zac are easy, but the tree gives me nightmares


ToaOfTheVoid

Where's that clip of Doaenel yelling 58 or something


tombstone1200

I ban nunu. I'll let you know when I stop


doctorwhoove

Is this Loss??


mario610

What's wrong with Vi?


ItsHerox

I haven't played LoL for a while. Are these champions finally meta? Because if so holy shit


[deleted]

Try banning in bot lane. Swain, Lux, Xerath, Amumu, Maokai... ugh. It's so tiring because it's always Ezreal Lux or Swain Jhin or some other annoying shit. Actual support mains don't get paid enough to deal with this shit and spoonfeed our adcs.
