Bronze Bans

Just Sayin' · Oct 4, 2013

So, i've been in Bronze since I've started playing ranked & for the life of me I can't get out.
I wanna mention Bronze Bans;
Amumu, Malph, Shen & Blitz should 'always' be banned according to Bronze players. Although I really don't see the reason for any of these, maybe Shen as he changes team fights, but the rest are ridiculous & half of the players in Bronze can't use them.
Then when you ban other champions, you get flamed.

I understand Amumu and Malph as pretty good tanks, but blitz not that much.

Im assuming that bronze players havent learnt corki since hes not there. But he should be on that list all the time based off the latest patch.

If I got all six bans for yolo queue:
Zed
Kassadin
Ahri
Shen
Thresh
Zac

Feel free to disagree, but this is my (mid-high diamond) list.

In bronze, I usually ban strong AoE CC champs who'd prevent me from facerolling boost games. If I'm not playing bot lane, I usually do ban Blitz because I know bot won't be able to dodge his hooks.

Corki is meh after 3.12.

In bronze/silver, I don't run into many people who use shen, kassadin, blitz etc too effectively. I don't think they are worth a ban for the most past in that elo.

Most people don't split push as shen, haven't played many good kassadins, blitz/thresh aren't that bad if you know how to play against them, etc etc.

There is a HUGE difference in team fighting between people in bronze and people in diamond/challenger. People in lower elo feel the need to clump into a nice little pile every game to team fight. So in their mind that is how you team fight, you MUST stand on top of each other. This leads to AoE ultimates being considered OP. Malphite is not OP, the only thing he has is a hard engage which can be easily countered by what..? Not standing on top of each other. Same thing with Amumu.

Blitz.. understandable. He can cause a lot of issues for a bot lane as well as issues late game. However, he can also screw your team over late game by pulling the enemy initiator on to your team.

My usual bans are Ahri, Kassadin, Vayne, Thresh.

As far as people flaming you, who cares. You are first pick you can ban poppy if you feel like it. My mentality is I am there to win, not to make friends lol.
