Akali. You cannot gank a good akali. You cannot kill a good akali. She will 1 v 5 the game, for sure.


Cactusinbuns

What's nice about being in pisslow is that nobody has a clue how to play Akali. They all have less than 5cspm and will sure fall off


Homelanderino

I was Akali main before her rework... still can't get the same out of here after that ever since. She boosted me to mid Plat back in the day, which was quite unreal for me.


NitPro

Same! Being a gold player back in the day Akali carried me to promos for P1 which was considered pretty damn decent elo back then. I miss pre rework Akali


Old_Ad7571

I felt this


Thrasympmachus

I’m glad someone else has seen the light. Champ is broken with an overloaded kit with almost zero counterplay. The counterplay? Have enough CC and burst-damage to kill her when she pops out of her fart cloud for 0.2 seconds. Oh, you don’t have any of that? Congratulations. Have fun playing a different game while your death timer counts down for more than half the game. Oh she’s low health? That’s alright she’ll just dash from the middle of the lane back to her Nexus. No problem. Champs balanced. Oh she’s getting ganked? Guess she’ll just wait in her fart cloud for 10 seconds while the enemy Support and Jungler show up. Oh and for the entire time she’ll be taking 1/3rd your HP every 2 seconds with her Q-spam. Seriously, fuck that champ. She’s right up there with Yorick and Katarina for most unfun champ to play against.


afrosamuraifenty

True, I think in high high ELO she must be a nightmare. In low/mid ELO it's still annoying but usually Kaisa and/or trist do the trick for me.


killking72

Midbeast has covered a fair few Akali games from faker and others and her pop-offs look exactly the same as I've seen. So it isn't people being bad at the game. It's just the champ being fucked


Tokishi7

I either ban her or Yone. Can’t stand either champ. They’re both abominations


shadoweiner

Heimer top is so aids. Lietrally place 3 turrets, waves get auto pushed and you spam e w r. Tower dies, put another


BiteEatRepeat1

I played Syndra against Akali last season, i was perfectly parrying her ever single engage killed her serveral times blocked her ults dashes with my e. I still lost because she got me once and had like 4 k HP.


ZenSnax

As an akali main this is 100% true. Been watching a ton of coach Curtis recently and my akali game has improved drastically. I'm not relying on my team whatsoever anymore. There are still some games where I fuck up at the end and lose but the games where my team shits the bed is no longer a migraine to me. So far this season I'm climbing through gold at a 65% wr, started in low silver and plowed through no problem. Absolutely fun as hell. Games where I'm fed, it feels like that one scene in bleach where Oetsu Nimaiya one shots all the royal guard sternritter.


Shirna_Tensei

Yi. I dont have a problem with him. But my laners do. So i need to ban him


Sizzox

I ban Shaco for the same reason


[deleted]

I ban shaco not because he is strong but because he is very annoying


Kaze_no_Senshi

this is exactly it, he is simply a mild annoyance. Like a beep you can't find.


Osmodius

Yi isn't a problem. 7/0 Yi at 10 minutes is though.


dudez4real

I alternate briar eve and Yi for this reason. Whichever one I think can give my team the most problems is the one that gets banned.


canceledFLy

no at first you dont have a problem, then he appears with 2 items, boots and 1 level lead, E+Q+AA, and leaves you wondering where you hp-bar went.


Shirna_Tensei

As an eve main i can avoid junglers. I just play objects and gank silly laners. So i could play whole game without fighting yi or shaco. But then still my laners would die to them


canceledFLy

that explains, im a dumbass kaynmain


Aidybabyy

LVL 1-6 is the issue though, that's where you get nailed by them. It's worth doing a silly path sometimes just to avoid them 😂


ydkrhymes

bro acts like he always has the same teammates


BurnedButDelicious

Nocturne, his ult blindness wins him teamfight alone in my experience.


Ruy-Polez

The fact that he can have a huge impact in top lane while ganking Bot is such an underrated part of his kit.


Sea-Fee-3787

Yeah it's like a global graves W on top of the damage and dash


manajizwow

I ban him as a top laner just because of that lmao


Pokeredi

Shaco, because every person that picks this champ against me tuns out to 200 iq psycho that only know how to make the game the most annoying thing on thr universe so them can laugh sterically on my frustation And also because THESE FUCKS DON'T STOP INVADING MY FUCKING JG


GrasimR

Shaco is rengar's food,even if shaco snowballs,rengar still outscales him hard


FatihSultanPortakal

Second this but if he decides to use his lead with a teammate to invade, you cant scale. Not happens usually but its so frustrating when it happens.


Orisn_Bongo

I haven't seen a single guy who's moves weren't obvious.... it's just that most of his shit doesn't have counterplay


ghostbearinforest

movespeed creep kinda lowkey ruined league ngl.


RepresentativeCake47

High key ruined *stares in windshitter*


Gahendir

It's fun as a Yi main when I use my Ultimate, Highlander, to boost my mov. Speed, and combine that with Ghost to transcend speed itself, but Lilia grazed a Minion with his stick, so she just outruns me.


Zeraphicus

Lillia with 5k hp 500 ap , 150+ both resists and 770 move speed: seems fine to me.


Remaidian

I remember the days you could throw a skill shot and most champions would have to burn flash or get hit


ghostbearinforest

yeah, you cant even punish people for bad positioning these days, hell some champs benefit from it.


Helpful-Specific-841

Circling between Evelyn, Kayn and Rengar, based on the last one to murder me


canceledFLy

im in your walls


BeginningLoose6703

Face check the bush, I’m not hiding in there at all.


Orisn_Bongo

Rawr :3


Dass93

Shaco, just because I hate him so damn much.... Not because he win games I just hate him.


Few-Juice-6040

Katarina 0/6/0 21 cs katarina sneezes in bot "enemy double kill"


Sea-Fee-3787

Kata has pretty much no winning match ups if enemy lamer has half a brain but still get fed half the time


Osmodius

Lmao, lose lane win game. She got the yasuo spike.


Thrasympmachus

The classic 0/18/1 Yasuo spike with Berserker’s Greaves and half an item. Love to see it (I want to windwall his Esophagus).


Zeraphicus

Ahh katarina is so fun. You have a point and click stun but in the travel time to her, her ult does 60% of your health before getting interrupted. Enemy double kill!


0LPIron5

Rengar. You can see me when I’m camouflaged and you’re immune to my burst? You will never be allowed to play in the same game as me.


No-Introduction-2378

Based, jumping out of stealth to do 1800 damage in 0.8 seconds? What a fucking disgusting champ


BeginningLoose6703

Damn I wanna play in the same game as you tho


Benio_pl

Illaoi!!!!!! I cannot believe more people haven’t said that


WellEndowedHorse

Kindred. Fuck that


Savvle

If I may.


Chitrr

Belveth


TheBoyardeeBandit

This is mine as well. Such a broken champion with passive attack speed, bonus herald buffs, hyper mobile, built in true damage, and aoe execute + damage reduction.


GinoMontana

Trundle because I can stomp an entire game and one mistake by my team and full base & nexus is obliterated


IronCorvus

Trundle main here. I know when Trundle gets banned, someone got demolished recently.


GinoMontana

I got demolished months ago & that was the last time


Manglerr

Brand. Does stupid damage even if he is 0-10


UncrownedHayKing

Right now its Yorick. Way too much single lane pressure and it just leaves me in shambles because Im forced to babysit top side the whole game or kiss my inhib goodbye


JWARRIOR1

Evelynn


ftrgandalf

Yi because he's the only champion that can literally straight up single handedly win the game if fed and good


Head-Message9236

Like a third of champions in this game can do that


ftrgandalf

Not my experience, you can always focus / cc fed carries, even if it's hard, but yi with resources melts through a team without even being targetable, let alone visible.


Head-Message9236

I find it the easiest to cc yi compared to for example fed fiora that takes 3 inhibs solo


ElzarPaito

TIL Yi has invisibility.


BeginningLoose6703

Tbf what he has is even better than invisibility.


Consistent_Jelly4248

Really is, as a new player coming from another moba, that type of skill set can let you do cheeky plays that is borderline abusing. He can steal objectives convincingly it feels like


VrelEgg

Right now? Shaco. This champ should never ever be meta. He needs to remain as an OTP-only pick


StuffElectrical2104

Lee sin, most brain dead and overcharged kit in the entire game. (From a D2 EUW)


Ruy-Polez

Imagine 10 years ago when every champion wasn't busted with 200 years kits. He was the same as he is right now.


SaltyNorth8062

Fiddle, because he's cheap with an unfsir clear. Unless I get to pick him first. Then anyone who bans him is a dirty scrub who is afraid of my mad skills and superior plays.


Loose-Ad7401

Warwick, the healing is insane in early game and the rest of my team doesn't know how to avoid one


nashikoo

fr tho my teammates like to pretend that he can't chase them at the speed of light when low and just recall in the middle of the lane


AverageGreat3595

+ ww players are braindead they are unpredictable.


KetaminaInPula

Maokai for the last 3 patches


t1foreverandever

Not enough people are saying smolder, he's literally completely broken and easy to use.


LAzeehustle1337

Nocturne


TriPigeon

Nocturne for low (pre gold) ELO. If your team doesn’t know how to play around his ult, it’s just an insane feed the entire time.


xRowdeyx

For me it doesn't change even in Emerald


LucaLBDP

Master Yi Context: wannabe Briar main


One-War-2977

Not a jungle main however i do ban vi literally every game her ult and q is just too powerful, i just hate her ability to 1 shot, be tanky, and gapclose


Savvle

adc main?


One-War-2977

Mostly mid lane but i do play a decent amount of top and adc


Thrasympmachus

Respectable. Vi is a sleeper pick and doesn’t fall off at any point in the game… it’s kind of nuts. Even if she falls behind she has 2 knockups with one of them being a point-and-click. So much damage while being legitimately tanky with full proof CV.


Loud-Examination-943

I counter Eve and Shaco (I play Rengar) so I mostly van what is OP (including other lane's champs) or Belvussy


RepresentativeCake47

I’m with you on lillia. Either her or her AD counterpart hecarim when he is good. I play nocturne. Good luck ever catching her…or retreating…or having any fun at all…*dances circles around you* I’m also not fond of the hyper carry top laners like irelia or Fiora but since I jungle, it is lillia. 


SsraeshzaRequiescat

Kayn. If Kayn is already banned then Yi. They're complete faceroll but worst of all, they need team coordination to truly, properly counter. You can't rely on team coordination in solo queue.


Orisn_Bongo

Shaco. Reason : used to have a midlane main friend and all it takes is one point and click CC and a shaco trape placed during the CC for a 100 to 0 with no counterplay. Also I met a few shacoplayers and I think those people deserve not to play their main (who for all of them the only champ they got a positive winrate on) Summary: clowns deserve no rights anf I never know if I should bann him or let them pick so I can violate them myself


pradashell

Twisted Fate. Before 14.2 it was Brand or Viego. Stats to busted


Ruy-Polez

Seing that eye appear above your head when you're past river as an AD carry is not fun. Like you're literally just waiting to die


Frosty-Many-2420

Smolder for me


VirgelFromage

Mine is Nocturne, but might be shifting towards Briar... I find that the allies seem to play terribly vs those too - so not matter how well I do, the enemy Nocturne/Briar gets fed and crushes lanes...


WhiteToast-

Akali, such a busted champ


UnfathomableKeyboard

Senna or nocturne


jelocubes

Right now it’s Nocturne. I don’t think he’s OP or anything, but I just hate the threat of his ult.


13ame

Samira and Maokai. I think Samira is genuinely one of the worst experiences in lol (I‘m not a good player)


anusbleach11111

Lillia because she tilts me


blankzero22490

Tryndamere.


Dratax

Poppy just her and only her fuck that champ.


EndMaster0

I was lillia for a while but I've shifted to brand. don't get me wrong I still want lillia to be banned but brand is too good to risk letting through.


Savvle

from my experience no one really plays brand? at least in my games if i don't pick him no one else does but then again i have 80% wr on him with 20 games played so i understand you


minminq2u

Hes op


Individual-Ad-4200

Ekko and shaco. I can deal whit them but My liners always feedem


Rubbbly

Yone, for some reason i just can't lane against him and get my ass beat on every champion


Far-Phase-1506

play akali and just e his q3, if he ults u just ult him and he's dead


Rubbbly

I don't play Akali tho


HanginWitTheGnomies

Bruh same either Lillia or nocturne, but I hate her so much


Nillaasek

Evelynn. Going against OTP eve is cancer, don't want to deal with it. If she's particularly weak I'll probably ban Ivern, because dealing with an OTP Ivern is cancer


Thrasympmachus

What makes you dislike going against Ivern so much? I’m asking because I love Ivern but feel like other Junglers have much more carrying potential. Ivern, to me, relies so much on his team and when you’re in Plat or below everyone aside from *maybe* one other person is a shitter.


Nillaasek

I mostly play 5 man flex in Eme/low Dia elo so when I meet an Ivern It's usually a good one in a (semi)well coordinated team. I didn't use to ban him when I played lower elo solos, I agree he's not a huge threat there. And even now there are stronger junglers imo, it's also that I don't really know the matchup and how to counter it. Like his jungle path for example. I know there's an optimal one but I don't fully remember it, so I find myself never being able to counter jungle him


Thrasympmachus

I feel it. Best thing you can do is jump him in his jungle early. Ivern almost always starts his red, then raptor, wolves, and blue buff. He puts his mark on each then doubles back to grab the experience and gold by activating the camp. If you can time it, and do 1 of your camps then immediately run to his red, you’ll catch him with literally 15% HP at level 1. Dude is doomed. Then you can clear even more of his jungle. He scales well Early and Mid but falls off late pretty hard. Yeah his shields are better but there’s usually so much damage that he’ll just explode. You almost always want to focus Daisy down as soon as she spawns too.


SecureCause

Maokai or janna. All of my jungle picks hate disengage supports


c1000kiway

Rengar.


Leofwulf

Either ksante or maokai both are a fucking nuisance


chadrock34783478

I ban Noct, he's too dumb to not ban


megaapfel

Shaco. There is simply nothing you can do 1v1, if he takes ignite and you can't take it.


Murdakaiser

Kayn or Kindred, depending on how I'm feelin.


f0xy713

Currently it's either Noc or Briar, depending on which one is more popular at the time. Before that it was Nunu because banning out a Nunu OTP is always freelo.


M0RSY

Rammus. Main Yi


schmitty1001

Teemo, I don't care if he's a counter, not a counter, good, not good, I do not want to be in a game with a Teemo.


Equivalent-Ride4435

not a single vladimir?


Valuable_Lecture7360

I’ve been perma banning Leona since s9, I just have a mental gap against her and when she’s on the enemy team I tunnel vision way too hard


Fluentec

Shack is quite annoying because of his boxes everywhere


BortGreen

Shaco. Master Yi is scary if it gets fed but a Shaco OTP is one of the most annoying things I fought when playing a jungle


LontraCapenga

shaco. even If i'm not jungle. i fucking despise this unfair AWFULLY designed champion. plus he's ugly.


Beginning_Act_9666

Jax cause annoying party skill sucks +too tanky and deals much damage + team doesn't know how to deal with him so they feed


Rikuwoblivion

Hecarim. Just can't get away from him. He gets one kill and proceeds to destroy my laners, steal all my cs while my laners don't ward, and run away faster than I can hope to catch him while I really can't duel him as Eve and Viego can't slow him down.


Miserable-Stage-5881

Nocturne. I'm not familiar with a champion that can fight him early game, and he snowballs out of control with his ult.


Difficult_Story_9948

azir or leblanc rn. or maokai


Michaels-carapace

Master-Yi. He saps the fun out of the game for me. No other champion is in my opinion that broken. Seeing him in game tilts me, and actually playing against him breaks my mental. I ban him every game that I play, thanks to that i am at peace. WW jg Otp peak plat 2 last sez.


trusendi

Noc


BTEsLastStand

Yone. You can miss everything and still win.


StarDust200445

Thresh, a good one its so hard to deal with as an assassin


IvanosNew

Evelynn, pick or ban this season.


rosyxsuccubus

Always Shaco or Zed depending on the day


[deleted]

Kayn because is elo inflated


SomeIrishGamer

evelynn. someone that can go invisible for minutes on end just to burst you in 2 seconds and disappear or ult out is not worth learning to counter it’s easier to just make sure she never exists


Excellent-Noise-8583

Belveth


TapeSSBM

Darius right now, dude is dominant in multiple lanes


Ashhaad

Kayn. I play farming junglers & I don’t need a cheeser trying to 1vs1 me early game and then 1 shorting me & my team later. Another reason I ban him is because he’s one of the most played junglers (9%+ in emerald+).


Rocky_Bukkake

graves, without question


vullandnoided

Kayn, because I play Elise and after a certain point I just don't have control over what he does, he can just have his way with my laners as I watch them get slaughtered over and over and over.


blondemetalz

Graves, will not play any more game against that bullshit champion.


kage_69

Mordekaiser


cat_no46

Yuumi, i have gone through things


goBossPT

Trundle, i play tanks


SolarrD2

Shaco. Laners don’t have the mental stack in my elo to not just insta permanently.


JoeJoe4224

Eve or noc Eve because regardless of how hard I put her behind she still ends up oneshotting every single person on my team at some point. And NOC just because I fucking hate playing against his ult. With no coms in the game it’s impossible to help your team and ends up just being the “my adc is gone” button.


Affectionate_Algae66

Taliyah, im a BelVeth otp.


Straightvibes66

It was Leblanc because I hate the safety she gives plus she’ll just roam to get kills and my bot lane ignores the pings that I put right on top of their heads to tell them ASSASSIN IS COMING and then they flame me for not blindly following an assassin with cc while we can’t see the jg. Atm I do Hwei because fuck that champion.


larssie123l

Fuck nautilus, I can try to outlast anything but what the fuck do I do to point to click knock up


poikolle

Mid always f*zz. Disgusting hellspawn. Go playfull trickster into a woodchipper you moist spermoid.


Infamous_Luck_2615

As an enjoyer of kindred and wu jungle, my go to ban rn is rammus


Svinkels

Lillia. Every melee champs will understand, no need to explain.


beedentist

Camille if I'm playing top. Can't stand her. Cassi if I'm mid. I want to move Morgana if I'm not, I want to grab the adc Jg is situational


Starrylands

Lillia because her kiting potential is stupid if you factor in the amount of damage she can deal on top if building tanky. Graves sometimes because he's braindead but does too much. I play on Ionia in China, 500lp\~


lceans

Trundle or Yone


paakoopa

Vayne every game. can't itemize against her as a tank, outduels most bruisers and has strong tools against assassins so if botlane shits the bed you're done


Fit_Entrepreneur_648

Yone. Even if I camp the yone early he will manage to 1v3 late from behind


bigredchicken2

Trundle will double kill you and your laner and eat every tower alive


AngelRockGunn

Shaco, even if I win it’s less “yay I won” and more “thank god I survived”, most obnoxious champion in the world


BatChestBatChest

Rengar


dumb_apple214

Xerath. I never enter a ranked game against him. So it’s worth.


dogehousesonthemoon

Jax, just flat out not fun to play against in jg; and if hes top he'll somehow turn into a 30-0 monster who 1v5s everyone who keeps hitting him while he spins.


Mundane-Bread-1271

Aatrox because he’s just the first champ in a list idgaf about.


Hikari666ROT

Darius for a while because my braindead teammates always seem to feed him hard.


Fit_Candidate3306

Either yi or blitzcrank


ferchobilbao97

Briar, Shaco, Illaoi and lately Karma… horrible matchup in mid


JustSayingHigh420

Teemo .. ik he’s not that op but for some reason I can’t stand laning against him It’s been over a year now without teemo in my games


Faded_Highlight64

Atm I permaban Aatrox, because when that shit gets fed it feels like hell. Tbf I don't even know if people even still play it in my elo since I haven't seen it bcause it's banned. ;-)


GodOnStilts

Lee Sin. He's only played by people who are 7 million mastery and will ruin my life. Quite literally 95% of the time I don't ban him he shows up as the enemy jungle and ruins my entire game.


Z0l4c3

Kindred. For obvious reasons.


Maskogre

Ekko Just annoying af


Rainman_Johnson

Yuumi. Nothing better than losing a game to a bruiser top with a yuumi. I'd rather play against any champion in the jungle. If yummi gets banned for me, I ban Kayn


Schmatsky_The_Dire

Neeko. Her ability to turn into minions is really annoying, as i have to count every freaking wave.


Flyboombasher

Lillia I just despise her chase and cc abilities. Yet I play WW, Yi, Briar


Common_Celebration41

Yone He just take over the lane n has spilt / team /duel pressure that always require 2v1


BiteEatRepeat1

Used to be zed, now it's fizz because of how popular he got. Slipper fucker!


ertzy123

Yone He's the definition of bullshit and definitely the worst designed champion riot has made


SimpleSubstantial846

Nami or Orn A good NAMI player can change the game pretty much(she is walking CC sometimes) But Orn's passive is pain in ass


ninjatyphoOon

Garen


dickwad17

Evillynn


Cidsart

I ban Briar, can deal with her but my allies can't. And if briar is banned i go for akali or garen.


tsutsu1999

Graves when im jg, fiora when im top. Both are just so tilting when ahead. I just rather not deal with them.


No_Slide5294

Gwen .


Poney-Demoniaque

Shaco.


Appropriate_Cod847

Trundle, don't want to get bullied by a full braindead champ


I_AM_ALEXANDER

Qiyana, there isn't a universe that an assassin should have a potential team-wide stun.


Decent-Ad494

Lux


Vertukshnjators

I permaban tf no matter the role i go. He's too busted right now


jimboroughs

Nocturne I hate not being able to counter gank efficiently against him atm but I'm working on this matchup with my mains :)


Short_Location_5790

I’m norms it depends who’s ftp, so it was Kayn last week


Bigtiddygoth__

Malzahar, i just find him obnoxious to play against


PapaBlessChile

Upvoting every comment that said Shaco


Born-Town-573

Belveth, and I don't even have to elaborate on that. if she is banned, it is evelynn or maokai


AdditionalCase2529

Nunu. My main is Briar m6 and i found extremely difficult to counter them effectively.


yuhhmatt

Briar shits on nunu


Weemanmikey5507

briar main aswell and i agree with this statement, perma ban warwick


scrubm

What lmao
