Who are you banning in BGs?

Do mention which ones in general and why?

Depends on the roster

It always depends on the roster of the person you're going against

willrun4adonut

Defenders

If it's Kitty,Omega Sentinel, Hulkling or duped Valkerye I rarely look at the rest of the roster.

I meant to put mix though.

Champs that are great but I don't have in my deck

I Should’ve been more clear, i meant it does depend on the roster but in general do you ban the top defenders of the meta that you think you won’t be able to win against easily or the opponents attackers that can easily cheese your defenders.
Like in my case its mostly hulkling, rintrah and domino but if i see a terrax or an electro i ban them in place of the above

Depends on the roster

Have to ban Galan which is fine because I don't have one.

Then it's just the regular annoyances for me.

In this meta, any champ can be a good defender so for me it's more about who I do not fight well in general and fun, interactive damage I can't avoid.

Depends on the roster

Galan, Hulkling, CGR (I don't have him), R3 Corvus (mine is a 5/65). I have duped Omega Sentinel in my top 3, so I never ban her. The opponent usually bans her lol.

Attackers

Galan wic and torch

Mauled

Depends on the roster

Usually attackers as out of my 10 R4s, I have Mojo, Korg, Thing, Rintrah, IBom ans Warlock who are some of the best defensive options.

Wiccan is always on the list, as is Omega Sent, Kitty, Tigra.

It depends who’s ranked up though tbh.

Depends on the roster

After many many, MANY rounds i lost, Namor is my first ban. Then Galan if opponent have him. Sometimes Hulkling and Claire. After this bans i promoted to Gold 2 very quick.

One thing i dont understand is most of my opponents ban my Silver Centurion. I guess when they see him r4 they be like ‘WHAT THE HECK R4 CENTURION? THERE MUST BE SOMETHING GOING ON I SHOULD BAN HIM’

This. Sometimes it can be all attackers or defenders or mix.

Ourobøros

Depends on the roster

I try banning the ones I don’t have counters to or rather not fight against, or the ones who make great defenders on the meta. Like, if there’s more then one champ that has armor, and I’m not able to nullify it or break it without specials, I’m taking the most that I can, example, there’s Warlock, Colossus and Guilly, I just have BWCV whines able to nullify it straight up, so I block two of those

is silver centurion a good attacker/defender for this meta?
idr if he gets an armor up buff from his own abilities or not

nope he is not. He starts with armor up and if armor breaks or nulifies 10 second later he open a new armor. But, he is cheese for magneto, venom, terrax, galan, hulkling etc etc

Deepworld

Defenders

I tend to ban generally tricky defenders. I always ban Apoc and Doom but actually I don’t really mind fighting them. It’s usually Hulkling and Galan that are the worst.

TheLightBringer

Depends on the roster

But in this meta I ban thing and manthing mainly and domino if she's a big one

Marvelfan30

Depends on the roster

Nimrod and galan and any other armor champs

Mix

I know everyone has their own strategy and it's great as long as it's working for you , however ,

1. Always look to ban opponent's top meta attacker
2. Look to ban atleast one defender who is impossible to defeat (and you don't have in your roster or have at a relatively lower strength)
3. Final choice comes down to the fact whether you want to cripple their attack or if they have too many attackers, then cripple their next main defender.

I know it's a lot to analyze but try to get the hang of it in the lower tiers every season/meta and then you'll advance pretty quickly to the next ones.

I'm just an average Joe who gets to URU 3 and that's it.

Defenders

Galan peni kingpin
Man thing, thing, Sasquatch, dragon man are consistent bans

Noise72

Mix

Any Champions I see that I don't have on my roster.

LexSavi

Depends on the roster

My Galan is pretty much perma banned which makes sense since he’s kind of an auto win if he’s left in play.

GeneralMerce

Attackers

My solid strategy is to ban their best Armor break/nullify attack champs and let the node do its thing. A solid defender that can use the node will almost always beat a great attacker w/o armor break, nullify or AAR.

my r4 Galan and r4 Hulking are always banned so i dont care about banning them.

I usually prioritize easy access armor break or passive nullify attackers in my own deck to counter the node with 2-3 GREAT meta defenders

Phantomfire500

Defenders

I say defenders, but power burn immunes I don't have first and foremost.

Tesladon

BGs.

Pseudo_19

Attackers

I always ban kingpin and falcon first cuz the best defender is definitely my sig 200 Thing. I have a Valkyrie for anyone else’s Thing, I don’t have kingpin or falcon. I’ve even used Wiccan on offense about 3 times for Thing and it’s been very smooth so far.

The only defender I will ban is domino if she’s high sig, I’ve seen a lot of unawakened dominos for some reason as if they are good defenders.

SonOfArgu16

Depends on the roster

I often ban the strongest champ then I specifically target the Armor Break immune champs like Thing, Doom, Nimrod, Dragon Man, Mangog, and the occasional NF, Domino, and Kingpin so basically Defenders.

Also, you guys are quick enough to inspect the sigs of your opponent's roster before banning champs?

DemonicStalker

Depends on the roster

Always depends on roster... domino, kingpin and armor break immune champs r the usual... and no..i rarely ban armor up tech champs and rarely ban hulkling and galan..
