[quote=Mashico]So i am almost to lvl30 and am planing on getting into tournaments the champs i know how to play are twitch,tristana,teemo, caitlyn, and ziggs so i am trying to learn new champs. But my friend said some champs are perma banned so i dont want to waste my time learning how to play a champ i cant use and like for twitch my fav lane partner as him is blitz so i dont want to be practicing with a lane partner if they are also going to be unusable. So my question which champions are perma banned?[/quote]

[*]No champion is perma-banned, at least not from what I've seen in ranked. Dunno about the just-hit-level-30 crowd, though ([i]back when I hit level 30 and started playing draft[/i], common bans were Alistar/Shen/Malphite/Amumu/Blitzcrank/Darius). But [b]these are fucking retarded bans[/b]. Except maybe [[Shen]]. [*]Your champion pool should be like at least 3 champions for each role if solo queueing, or 4-5 champions if in a 5s team where you are guaranteed a specific role. [/list][/quote]

[quote=Vaan99]Perma banned champions change almost every patch, but there are some that are almost always banned, like: Shen, Kha'zix, Thresh. Some others who are frequently banned are Volibear, Nasus, Elise, Zed. You don't waste time learning twitch, he's really good, but you just can't pick him in every team, if enemy team has many divers then don't pick him. If by tournament you meant ranked, then my advice is to stick to normals until you learn the game, matchups and some basic strategies, also if you plan to play ranked, have 1 main role and at least 2 more roles that you can play, for example, maining mid and also can play top and jungle.[/quote]

[quote=ChaosPT]the perma ban champs are an amusing topic.... its usually what most people have trouble dealing with, when i reached leveled 30 it used to be [[shaco]], [[amumu]], [[akali]]. Now it changed (thank god) to heavy cc champs such has [[shen]],[[malphite]],[[amumu]] (yep he aint goin nowhere), [[blitz]],etc But i've noticed that the low elo matchs are starting to changes the perma bans again back to assasins like [[khazix]] and [[akali]] (which i think its ridiculous), and w/e new champ is launched[/quote]
