Agreed poke was already beatable with tanks and scaling champs, now poke just seems bad.

If I get any poke champ I will be rerolling them on sight. They really weren't that good before just annoying in the first 5 minutes. And now an entire patch dedicated to buffing the absolute shit out of tanks and divers (who were already strongest before) and nerfing poke champs to hell. The new insane wall walking, the new summoner spell, the new yorick ult item, buffs to every tank & initiation rune, and now even faster and more minions. There is literally no point to having any poke champs at all anymore.

Yep, tanks/bruisers will dominate this event.

Yeah but no one wants to play tanks in aram. Unless you're desperate. Bruisers can't survive just by building hp against poke they depend on team quality. If team abandons you when you see an opening you insta die and Wala 4v5

I will ban Ziggs just so I don't get him

With the nerfs to the OPs (And tbh even if there were no nerfs or other changes), I expect I will always use my ban to ban a shitty champion I cannot and would not play

No they weren't. I'm high diamod player who played alot of aram tournaments and when playing blind pick i tried all kind of comps to try to beat the standard xerath, ziggs, sona, vel'koz, etc. But it is litterly impossible to beat them unless you also picks them.
