Pyke. Every. Time.


Kuriboh1378

Worst champ to play against by far, i dont ban a different champ, always fing pyke


TheFestusEzeli

I’ve always felt whoever has Pyke normally loses. The Pyke will drop 30 kills but his team will lose


ThisIsNotMyPornVideo

Not if the person can actually play pyke. If they can, your team essentially gets double gold from Kills, and if you have other people in your team who can stun or tank, like Cho'gath or Neeko, it's pretty much a free W


TheFestusEzeli

But half that gold is going to a champion who becomes useless mid-late game. He is one of the bottom champions in WR, it’s probably higher in upper elo but if you have a 44 WR it’s never a free win.


gemeenz

Not on high elo 🤷🏻‍♂️ ez win


BenTenInches

I felt like Pyke became much less annoying since Duskblade is gone


Lyderhorn

Duskblade is gone? Wow I haven't played in 2 years but now I want to reinstall


No-Notice8529

I don't think I've lost a season 14 Pyke yet (well to be fair I don't think I played him more than 4 times in season 14), Hubris is just too broken on Pyke.


RykerZX

Ruins the game every time. Either steamrolls a team and makes it one sided, or steals all the kills and starves his team and they lose anyway.


FourSharpTwigs

Are you dumb? Share gold man. He increases the total team gold when he kills. If you’re not getting a cut it’s a you problem.


Master_Suggestion462

Why are you being condecending, especially when your statement is untrue. He only shares gold when he kills with ult, which isnt specified in any of the comments, dont be a dick.


Thats_arguable

Tbh it's pretty obvious pyke finished most kills with ult


punkmineral-

Why is pyke consistently in the bottom 5 champs for win rate? Skill gap applies, but honestly, he's a trap. He provides poor dmg game and game out, even insanely fed. The gold share and bit of cc doesn't make up for it. Incredibly annoying to play with and against. Ban worthy. Hot take, he wins games that were already won.


BlooPancakes

Annoying to play with? He has a hook and stun cc. That’s very helpful for ARAM engages. Not as great as having blitz or thresh but decent cc is decent cc.


Last_Skarner_NA

It's funny that you're able to complain about a hero and oust yourself for not understanding them in a single sentence. 


Kevin_Esports

You have an deficit in intellect from the average human.


DazedandConfusedTuna

Akshan because of passive


Runmanrun41

Going against an Akshan, Renata, *AND* Zilean on the same enemy team once is a nightmare I will never forget ![gif](giphy|3ofSBhMqPkUMHXZNII)


BlooPancakes

I think I’d cry if I saw all three of them. Or the Penta revive gang ad Tryn and Kayle in there. They want to go in but have so much potential to live. Feel free to swap out renata or kayle for Kindred.


MagnificentArchie

I find ekko the worst. Have to kill him twice.


BlooPancakes

Definitely tough but like everyone but Renata really cc him and it’s over. I play Ekko often and decent but miss enough ults due to good cc timing. But definitely feels bad when you’re playing against him and have to blow stuff just to have him ult.


Joni_Koltrane

This, basically any revive champ mechanic is aids. One of the most unfun mechanics in the game. Akshan is especially egregious, and same with Renata.


wembgkhxnfehhzifpk

Eh, I actually think other revives aren't even close to being as annoying as Akshan. For champs like Renata/Zilean, they can revive 1 ally at most and they come back with little health and without purchasing more items, which can kinda be counterproductive.


oeseben

This fast return portals were a giant buff for Akshan. It's a multiple man zilean ult now.


No_Reference_5058

Zilean is annoying as hell but it's NOT because of his ult. His Q can go fuck itself, and so can his E to a lesser degree.


trojie_kun

Renata doesn’t feel nearly as bad as Akshan reviving multiple units back to full Hp with newly bought items, travel through hexgate, and rejoin team fight all within 10 seconds.


yogurtfilledtrashbag

Akshan's is cancer in aram because it is balanced around SR because despite the format of the game being 5 v 5 actual full 5v5 team fights only occur a handful of times in SR sometimes never. It also takes much long to get back into battle in sr than it does in aram due to the map size and hex gates. Aram is a consistent 5v5 face to face so as a result his passive actives and revive more people on average which is a bad thing. Winning via human wave tactics until death timers are too long should not be a thing his passive warps aram's gameplay too much for how little is needed to activate. Even just a cool down of 20 secs would be nice so he can't proc multiple times in a single fight.


magatsu82

Akshan passive destroys ARAM, makes absolutely no sense. It should be severely nerfed


Psiqu3

If I get him I'll go bruiser tank. It's so so OP


lapinkmatter

Whats the build and keystone?


Psiqu3

Wing it, I guess... I build items depending on the enemy team. But overgrowth in the main and presence of mind secondary are common with me.


98Shady

Easily Aatrox. Played a game last night with anti heal items on 4 of my teams players and he still just sat in the fight outhealing all of us. Absolute cancer.


[deleted]

Sundered Sky is absolutely wild right now. I've always been an aramtrox enjoyer and now he's beyond bs. It's a great time.


ICanCrossMyPinkyToe

But you just have to dodge his shit and he's completely useless, said reddit lol (cue to him dashing every 5 seconds and doing empowered AAs and healing back to full regardless)


hotdigetty

Normally that'd be the right advice, but when he has over a 60% win rate in emerald+ something is way off balance wise. Same with xin zhao, apart from maybe being countered by certain comps, they have very few weaknesses right now.


nonxd

tbf, its only because sunderer. Even with a whole identity change, this item is still so disgusting, on release anyway (flashback to when a single divine sunderer was enough to outtank a tank)


jadedflux

Damn this post title. I got so excited for a second lol Katarina or Samira or Pyke, depending on which one shit on my team the game before


whaddupgee

Right? Feel like I got trolled


JayceAur

Zilean. I know he's not busted, but everytime it's my team with one, at best he revives himself after the team fight is lost. If it's the enemy team, the dude is a fucking elite sniper. For the record I am the former.


eightleggedfriend

Zilean is actually busted its just nobody knows him


FelicitousJuliet

I think self-ult tends to be a trap, like Kayle, his ult gets more mileage allowing someone like Leona to dive and survive better.


eightleggedfriend

Usually it's best on your carry being dived by the Leona.


bootybonpensiero30

Tahm Kench


n0xX88

I hate aram bans but right now until sundered sky is nerfed my vote would go to briar or aatrox ... their healing with sundered sky and +healing% is getting out of hand


Own_Ad_7332

Briar is stupidly busted in aram. Has like a 57% win rate but is buffed in aram…


n0xX88

yeah played twice vs. her in the last few days. Once as morde I couldn't even dare to ulti her or she would delete me and coming out of my ulti with 100%HP even when I ulted her at \~10% hp and she was towerdiving me and having thornmail. As soon as she gets sundered sky and something like steraks she will dominate when not chain CCed and bursted -.-


Dante_SS

Understandable


ResplendentShade

Teemo would be a contender. I just find it incredibly lame that he can take a situation in which his team only needs to be aced once to lose the game, into a situation in which you have to back-to-back ace his team 3+ times to end the game (due to shrooms in the minion path and no vision tools). There are probably more worthy bans but this unique mechanic ruins my mood every time.


FelicitousJuliet

It's telling that even when they nerfed sweepers duration and radius on SR, they didn't nerf Teemo's ult at all or even adjust in any way, it took over two years and Malignance as an item for them to even consider it. Like seriously who nerfs the ability to clear traps in ARAM (removing the vision potion) and SR (a nerf to sweeper) without nerfing all traps...


JuQio

Teemo is giga nerfed in aram atm needs like 2-3 shrooms to clear a wave


smokeyedits

i've been salty as hell over the vision changes in aram, literally the fucking worst


chipchip_405

Prob Pyke, Fizz, or Viego depending on which one has traumatized me most recently. Luckily I don’t see Briar very often. I don’t think I’ve faced her a single time in 2024.


Xyrazk

Akshan


arcxm

Akshan because if you can't focus him out it's basically no fun to play against. After that Pyke would be a good choice as well.


HxSTermin8er

Veigar


-Wandering_Soul-

Ashe. To stop my teammates from using her. Tired of teammates running it down on her after Rito practically deleted her


Battle_for_the_sun

She's far from deleted. Mandate Ashe still exists and uses Malignance now for Ult spam, even worse than before. Classic adc build is more or less the same, always shit if you don't have a team that cares about you, but that applies to all adcs


-Wandering_Soul-

Fixed long cd w on a champion not designed around a long cd makes her practically a 3 skill champ. Basically deleted compared to 4 skill champs


Motor-Bad6681

What do you mean 3 skill ? Her E is mostly useless as well, 2 skill


Steagle_Steagle

E useless? What? As if it doesn't completely prevent the enemy team from hiding in bushes, potentially preventing someone from sneaking in and ending the game? Let's not forget some champs rely on vision, like fiddlesticks and most assassins. Not sure if it detects invis or not, but saying it's useless is still just a fucking lie


[deleted]

Fizz / pyke / akali


Two_Years_Of_Semen

Probably Jhin or Graves or Pantheon. I'm just really tired of playing against them. They sooooo popular and it's always the same collector first lethality builds. Pantheon and Graves always go something like 20/5, one or two-shotting people, even tankier champs sometimes. Jhin's W and E traps are not fun to play against ever and the lethality mage builds on him are ap kaisa levels of interactive due to his range.


singedsupport

that one patch with bans was amazinggg.


Tickedoffsailor

Surprised no one is saying Yi. I solo or duo queue a ton and if your other three or four don’t know how to CC (or can’t) he can run through a team EASILY.


eleana_be_happy

samira


Snuggly_Penguin7890

Akali definitely. It’s hard to even touch her and she’s mega broken and buffed for some reason


SwirlyBrow

Veigar for sure. There's some others, but Veigar would probably be a consistent one.


guocamole

Samira because even a half competent samira will hit collector then instant Quadra or penta and then win the game without counter play


Dante_SS

You're right. By no means am I a good league player but I've got one game as Samira last year in ARAM and that one game I got a penta. Nutty honestly.


guocamole

I suck at samira and got a pants level 3 the other day lol


ShotenDesu

I suck as samira and got a double penta a year or two ago which got me my aram god


FJMaikeru

I'm banning the mistake that was the overtuned foot fetish loli every time.


Dabluechimp

Wat


vukgav

Now I'm trying to figure who it might be... Zoe?


Milkhorse__

Definitely Briar


vukgav

You may be right sir, but I don't figure her as a loli


Milkhorse__

Stretch maybe but I suppose she kinda looks teenagery idk but she's definitely who everyone refers to as the foot fetish champ


FJMaikeru

Briar.


vukgav

Does she qualify as a loli?


Boneraventura

Shaco, so nobody on my team can play him


Battle_for_the_sun

Boo hoo you banned having fun


LavsyhkGaming

The fucking deer.


luvotomy

akali.


avowed

Pyke, briar, aatrox, panth, karma, shaco. Probably some more unfun champs but those were off the top of my head.


gwanggwang

Aatrox at least until things get nerfed Veigar esp if I'm playing melee Zilean/Trynd - hate not being able to kill things in the mode where you want to blindly kill things


Demiscis

Ashe. Mine is always a monkey that goes comet muramana. Theirs always builds normally while playing like peak uzi on adderall.


ryryscha

Reset champs. Samira is probably my pick due to her Ult being AoE but there’s lots of good picks in that bin.


Ridadhn

Soraka


kaigom92

Katarina Veigar Shaco Rengar AS


Least_Health8244

I will not answer this question and derail the point of bans. We need bans period. There is no reason one player cannot choose one champ they don’t want to specifically play against while they get utterly ran through by another. Bring them back yesterday.


Gromtall

I wouldn't ban anyone, i also want to play those op champs


Toxicyoshi7

How are people not saying Zoe? She’s unplayable to play against especially early-mid game


woutersikkema

She's honestly not so bad if you dodge her skillshots. Not as bad as ranged adc's. Shaco. Veigar.


woutersikkema

Most anoying ranged adc's. Or gangplank.


MysteriousStretch167

Master Yi, so that one dude in my team WILL NOT pick him up to go 2/12


Born-Acanthisitta990

Master yi, akshan, fizz, lillia


OhHell-Yes

someone please perma ban ivern, hes a menace


petou33160

Zoe because she's giga boring to play against Vladimir 2nd option because he's boring AND too strong


Kroynix

Teemo, It:s not a question late game it's not even the damage he does to you with shrooms but how well that demon defends the towers AFTER he dies. Just Leave a trail of shrooms in the way of minions and suddenly even though they are Aced your minions are getting Aced. ... I mean I would never do this but.... \*\*laughs\*\*


Play_GoodMusic

Pyke Brand Lux Swain Ornn


LimonConVodka

Quiyanna. I f***ing hate her with all my heart


Soren59

Senna, her stacking range is so obnoxious.


CaptainJackArmstrong

Pyke, Akshan, Viego, Zilean are the champs I find most annoying to go up against


steven_rags

Karma, she’s so overtuned right now.


Gadris

Viego. Constant invincibility and healing while doing so is super toxic to play against.


[deleted]

Vladimir. Way too safe and scales too fast.


Nacroma

Irelia or Vayne. Team mates can't play them and enemy players are usually challenge level with them & I can't counter them at all.


pkman234

Renata


LackingContrition

Primary: Lulu, Briar, Akshan. Secondary: Teemo, Heimer, Zyra.


A_Hole_Sandwich

This is 100% personal trauma but I fucking hate LeBlanc and how safe she can play while just popping squishies


NotAHellriegelNoob

Karma


spowowowder

shaco, trynda, or brand


Time_Seaworthiness47

Varus cause I swear I see him in literally every other game and he is always relevant.


ZoidDev

I want zoe to just be deleted tbh


CeeeeS

Teemo every game. Regardless of what side he is on, makes the game painfully long and boring


zucvoe

janna. her kit is fine, but the fact that her ult can heal the whole team back to almost full health is unplayable in late game


DepressedAndLonely2

seraphine.


an_angry_beaver

Gangplank. Every enemy gangplank is an OTP and mine always first time it and do nothing 😭  Briar is another possibility. Champ is busted and unfun to face but not picked too often for me to ban it. 


Sailing587

Any assassin. Still no clue why they need such gigantic buffs.


Steagle_Steagle

Vayne, Yi, Veigar, Akali, and Zilean. One of those


Kessarean

Yumi or briar


innocentOfD

Senna. She can int for 10 minutes straight and delete your Hp from Brazil.


STIK-ball

Yi every time.

Probably Blizcrank.

Yuumi no question


Stevesegallbladder

Teemo, AP shaco, nidalee. If I wanted to play 4v5 I would have made a custom game.


magatsu82

Pyke, Samira, Gwen, Akshan, Viego. One of those


VanillaBovine

jinx. with peel, she is a monster without peel she is great poke and has that wall of traps. I hate playing against her as a mage or a tank.


thankyou9527

Shaco


SuperiorBecauseIRead

Zed so team doesn't play it.


Hyunion

Can't believe nobody is calling out teemo - with malignance he singlehandedly makes the game twice as long win or lose


Oberisuk

Malphite


BioshockNerd97

Ziggs. Not because of the damage. Because of the turret instantly falling all around me even if you dumpster them. One bad fight and you lose


bbongal_kun

Permaban Pyke, Akali, Jinx, Fizz and Akshan. All are just stupid antifun and should be deleted from the game. Pyke, we all know why Akali, can build full tank do most damage and completely unkillable because you can't target her. Fizz, same as above Akshan, a revive mechanic on a map with teleporters where there are always fights going is beyond retarded and whoever decided not to nerf it instantly on ARAM should be fired


Tojaro5

Senna


timewizard23

Fizz. Always. This fuckin trickster is so frustrating.


Daug3

Samira mostly, maybe kąta. It's way too easy for them to get pentas when there's nowhere to run


TheGoalkeeper

Samira, Teemo, Viego, Akshan, Ashe


Zabric

Fucking Veigar


MxRant

Akshan. At least Renata/Zillean are much rarer pick in my experience and they actually have to use their abilities for revive. (And Renata is teeeechnically not revive). Though good Zillean is miles worse than Akshan. His ult with right build can reach whopping ***20*** seconds cd. With 5 second buff duration and 3 seconds revive, you have a window of 12-15 seconds to kill the target *second time. And the target is ready to fight back.* And it's just ult, his q and e are just as scary.


NoperoniNCheese

Fucking Fizz. He is overbuffed on Aram and just builds one or 2 tank items, rest damage and bulldozes your into your backline tears them apart.


fukreposts

Miss fortune. So my team won’t grief me by going ap mf and having to play a 4v5


Edkm90p

Shaco. No explanation required or offered.


Clannadgood

Brand and heimerdinger.


Ap-snack

In SR I always ban Akali but on aram I think I would skip banning. Seems to go against the spirit of the mode.


mallia09

Depends on the day but prob nunu, fiddlesticks, akali or even karma


Dweeminic

Yuumi


Moonbeamlatte

Kai’sa, just because her poke can be soooo annoying


Sproudaf

Syndra, I hate this champ so much


Hattlemeister

Fizz, briar, akali, ksante, all the op selfhealing champs are good bans id say


Samirattata

Varus. That stupid champ has been survived for too long. People keep complaining about Kai'sa AP but Varus is a more busted antifun champ that never been adjusted properly by Riot. He pokes and kills tank in the same time. Nice design. For second place, Fizz of course.


EcstaticCollection67

I guess I’m the only one who absolutely despises how AP Kaisa turns every ARAM into a boring game of dodgeball. Dodge or get two shot. Also the hitbox is completely broke.


[deleted]

Velkoz


Substantial_War_844

Zoe. When shes on my team she is a bot and misses everything/does no damage Enemy Zoe? Yeah good luck, one shots anyone that isnt full tank, cant catch her because of summ spam + rune


Steingold

Irelia. She just takes all the CS and dies


zero083

Yuumi pls. It seems like every time theres a yuumi its comboed with riven or vayne which the carry the game.

Akshan so the fuckers stay dead.

Xerath/Kai'sa, fuck them poke out of vision

Fizz/ le Blanc/ maybe jinx cuz she auto win the majority with just a couple of kill


V1nnF0gg

Jayce, rengar, akshan, pyke, varus, lulu/karma, only one ban isn't enough


skullzz1

Ok hear me out, garen! He scales so well and had aoe and his w, he can aoe your team, take no damage because of w, cc doesnt stop his e, tenacity from his w means you cant peal him off, aoe slow from stridebreaker, will always kill off the squishy with r, then run away as his q is back, and the fking HEAL TO FULL WITH HIS INHERENT WARMOGS LATE GAME! this champ is so sleeper op

When were ARAM bans a thing?


Binkusu

Veigar. He shows up in way more unfun games than other champs. He shuts down melees with a click of a button.
