Draven being the ADC that gets 50% ban just because of the champion
In the latest update of League of Legends, some champions are getting banned a lot, even if there’s no clear reason why. One of these champions is Draven, a classic ADC.
In the Emerald+ rankings, nearly half of the players are choosing to ban him, according to U.GG. In the higher ranks like Diamond and above, this ban rate goes even higher, reaching 56%. Interestingly, Draven isn’t considered a top-tier pick right now, which led to discussions on Reddit. Players seem to just really dislike him, regardless of his performance in the game.
“i dont even know if he is actually good at the moment. i just hate him.”
“He’s one of those champs where half the reason you ban him is to just keep him out of the game. Still has a super toxic playerbase so it’s a bonus if they dodge, but even if they don’t draven just becomes the main character of a game too easily.”
Many other players in the discussion shared similar feelings. It seems that Draven is one of those ADCs that just irks people, particularly those playing in the bottom lane. Some even call him a “permaban,” meaning he’s a champion that’s always banned if given the chance.
The stats support this sentiment. Despite being banned so often, Draven isn’t actually performing exceptionally well in terms of winning games. He’s ranked 17th among ADCs based on win rates. In Patch 14.8, he’s won just under half of his games in the Emerald+ ranks, according to U.GG. In the previous patch, he did slightly worse, finishing in 19th place with a similar win rate.
For comparison, the second most banned champion right now is Skarner, but his ban rate is only 26.5% across different positions like top, jungle, and support. So Draven really stands out in terms of how often he’s banned.
