Scarecrow Struggle

The new Fiddlesticks rework is annoying but not ban-worthy, even with the latest hotfix. Meanwhile, Wukong continues to dominate and is worth banning unless you plan to play him.

Optimal Bans

Banning Thought Process

1. Identify Threats: Which champions could the enemy team pick to significantly harm your team?
2. Personal Threats: Which champions could the enemy team pick to harm you specifically?
3. Likely Picks: Which champions are the enemy team likely to pick if not banned?
4. Likely Bans: Which champions are the enemy team likely to ban?

Method

To create this list, I use statistical compilation sites like leagueofgraphs.com. I identify the most banned champions and categorize them into “God Tier” or “Meh Bans” based on win rate and popularity. I also analyze win rates and popularity by division and add good bans for each division.
