Ban Suggestions
For Silver it suggests Jinx, Blitzcrank, Lux, and Fiora.
The logic is this - High Win Rate + High Pick Rate = Ban worthy assuming you know nothing else about the team you are facing.
Now, good luck actually banning these champion outside of Fiora because if you don't ban Mordekaiser, Darius, and Garen
Yep that is pretty much the reaction you get.
I've been trying it to see how it goes when I am first pick.
I ask "Any ban requests, because if not I am banning, Jinx, Blitzcrank, Lux, or possibly Fiora.
The time or two I've been asked "why those bans?". I tell them why. High Pick Rate and High Win Rate. and I've gotten back "makes sense" or don't ban X because I am planning on trying to get them.
I still like to let people target ban. E.g. Going Yasuo please get rid of Annie because that eliminates a counter and makes at least one person on your team happy/more confident.
I wish there were more discussion like this going on during the pick and ban phase that way less screw-ups happen. Like not realizing that Mordekaiser is going Top because you are so used to them at ADC. Or working together to ban out counters or get teammates on comfort champions.

The site was made by Aqua Dragon. Isn't he the guy who made the Jungle AD Malzahar guide?
Looks like that is correct. I hadn't made the connection.
Agreed. I've been playing a lot of top recently and Darius is still quite frequently banned despite the fact that his win rate plummeted after his recent nerfs.
On a side note, I had this exact same idea some time ago, after someone at Riot said that bans aren't optimal, and explained the "pick rate * win rate" optimal ban math. It's good to see someone actually had the initiative to make it.
