Every League of Legends player knows of at least one champion they wish had never been born. We’re not talking about strong meta picks or effective counters here, but the kind of champ whose face in Champ Select consistently sends blood pressure skyrocketing and immediately puts you on tilt.
While there are some clear frontrunners for deletion — if presented with a big red button seductively labelled “Incinerate Teemo”, most right-minded summoners would smack it down without a second thought — the poison Yordle is far from the only character on mental hit lists.
The same is as true of professional gamers as it is of us mortals: even Faker probably experiences the odd shiver of fear every now and then. Maybe. So rather than wondering who exactly these feared and hated pariahs of the 136 League champion pool are, we went out and asked professionals who they would strike with the permanent, lifelong ban-hammer.
