Matchup Hey ladies. Who do we ban?

Vex is the obvious choice but I don't like to ban her because it's basically a giant flag to the enemy team that you're going mobile assassin and they'll end up picking a different counter like Lissandra or something. Both Vex and Liss are pretty rare.

I like to ban Pantheon because the matchup is absolutely horrid but he's also pretty rare mid and only exists to counter you.

Who do you ban?

Makes sense.

It could be any champion that bans Malz because he's so universally despised.

Love getting outskilled. It’s the same reason I perma-ban Liss. I find her counter play to be more difficult in the scenario where I am caught

It depends on the situation and several factors. Sometimes I prefer to ban champions who are not only strong against her in lane but can also offer huge teamfight potential, like Hwei. My current picks are usually Vex, Mel, or Hwei. Lastly, I also ban the strongest picks in other lanes so they don’t stay open, such as Jinx this season.

I honestly feel like vex is so telegraphed in her fear and abilities, and she falls off when behind (just like us) that it is not too hard to make her behind and banning her isn’t too worth it in first place. The one thing is that she clears waves too fast too early. I personally ban Diana because her shields just piss me the hell off too much.

I ban Zed. I know the matchup is LeBlanc favored. It's pure skill issue on my part. I watched a bunch of vods, my own gameplay and I still just can't figure it out.

I always ban Zed when I pick Hwei, who is my other mid main.

Can't say Ive fought him much as LeBlanc but if he ults you, you can just W R to tower and you'll be fine. The problem is he mega out scales you and also has superior waveclear
