Hiya, I've been playing ranked, unfortunately.

I'm in Silver V so if I'm not captain the bans will hold, but are not limited to the following:

Katarina
Akali
Braum
Morgana
Thresh
Yasuo
Lee Sin
Leona

I don't always find a threat in these champs since if I'm someone like blitz or thresh I can just destroy kat, but I digress. I usually only see a Thresh/Leona ban if the other team is planning on picking the opposite, since Leona counters every Thresh except me (then again, I do only play with friends who know how to play the game and cooperate well with me). But I was curious, Diamond players, please bestow some wisdom to me.

Who do you ban? Thanks. :)

I'd ban Irelia, Gnar, Morgana, Rek'Sai, Azir, Maokai and Thresh

Loads of them are considered just really strong picks at the moment. As I'm naturally prefer playing support I'd opt to ban supports I don't want to deal with such as Morgana because I don't like playing against her kit as you may expect and I'm just afraid of losing a lane to Thresh due to my carry getting hooked in an awkward spot.
Thanks to Natuhlee for this sig!

It sometimes hinges on what I'm trying to get picked as a priority. Fizz is pretty broken to me, so I try to snatch him on first pick (even 0/3 coming out of lane his roam can stack up kills pretty easily), making me ban Zed and Lissandra first of all, with Syndra coming as a consideration if the opponent bans any of the aforementioned. Last ban will usually be something that's FotM which I consider toxic, like Gnar, Azir and Rek'Sai.

Strong bans right now that affect the whole map will usually be in mid and jungle for me.

Fizz
Syndra
Zed
Lissandra
Azir
Gnar
Jarvan IV
Lee Sin
Thresh

This is probably my restrictive ban list right now.

Zed, LeBlanc, Rek'Sai, Azir and Irelia. Sometimes Fizz, Lee Sin and Lissandra. Don't ban any supports personally since I play all of the high tier ones and I can deal with all them, with the exception off Blitzcrank who I sometimes ban because he's annoying/boring to play against.

1. Rek'Sai
2. Katarina
3. Akali
4. Azir
5. Fizz
6. Gnar
7. Janna

Honorable mention - Anyone that benefits from having Zhonya's Hourglass in their build.

But not really sure that the bans make that much difference at my elo as people still do things like pick Garen into Teemo. Sigh.

Akali because she is ridiculous in every single way. Easily countered in team fights but is incredibly hard to kill in small skirmishes.

Rek'Sai She is super strong atm.

Zed or Lee Sin some people are really good with them in Diamond and they produce salty players in my team :D
