Most Banned Champions in League of Legends

A newer mid-lane assassin with an extremely high skill ceiling and burst potential — teams frequently ban it to deny opponents a pick most players haven't learned to play against yet.

One of the most consistently banned champions in League's history. His all-in burst combo can delete squishy targets from full HP in under two seconds once he hits level 6.

An extremely mobile burst mage built around baiting cooldowns and punishing mistakes — banned to protect immobile mage picks from being one-shot before level 6.

Strong wave clear and a scaling teamfight ultimate make him a priority ban whenever poke and control-mage compositions are strong.

His ultimate can single-handedly end a teamfight by itself — banned whenever teamfight-heavy compositions are in style.

Feared less for raw power and more for how oppressive his hook-based engage is to lane against, especially for immobile ADCs.

Simple to pilot but devastating if left unchecked — a fed Yi can end games alone thanks to his damage-immunity ultimate.

A single well-landed hook can delete a squishy carry outright — banned to remove the coinflip factor from lane entirely.

Snowballs extremely hard with her pack of illusions, punishing any early misstep from the enemy jungler severely.

High mobility and built-in sustain make her a nightmare 1v1 matchup for most top laners, especially melee ones.
