There is only one champ in the entire game I really want that's been avoiding me for months, and unfortunately for me he's also one of the best BGs attackers so he's always instabanned when I see him on someone's deck lol. The rest depends on the meta, I never ban defenders though.
I don't have any champions that are always banned because I have like 7+ instant bans depending on their deck and their preferences of who to fight.
The most common bans I'll see though are Mangog, Kenny and Terrax. After that it is a toss up between Sersi (hurts my soul), Attuma, Chavez, Peni, Kate, and Photon. Very rarely do I see people ban my AA or Iron Doom, and I have had a few people ban Nebula before.
The champions I ban are entirely based off of what the opponent has. My top ban is Absorbing man (dont want to give easy win against terrax), then I ban defenders I don't want to fight, and if there are bans after that, I'll ban their torch or Nimrod just because or some other attacker.

You need a little bit more strategy guys. Champs like torch and aa are great equalizers. So in gladiator circuit if I'm playing a much smaller account I ban them. If they draft them and I don't they can punch up with those champs and get quicker kills than I can punching down
On the other end if I'm playing a huge whale account I don't ban them and hope I get them and can squeak out a victory against a much bigger account.
I tend to ban newer champs, especially if they have the rare 7* of said champ. I don't have the time/effort/care to learn them and how to counter them that quickly. Here's looking at you, Photon and kindred.
I usually just ban based off how long I feel the fight would go. Never really go for attackers unless it’s a high level Hercules but even then it’s not too likely. I think I definitely ban thing the most in this meta.
It depends a lot on whether the meta calls for tough defenders or powerful attackers. I also tend to ban champs (both defenders and attackers) where the opponent has them at a higher rank than me. I don't need the headache of trying to outperform an r5 champion with my r4.
Some of the champions that I regularly ban are America Chavez, Ebony Maw, Storm PX (assuming all three are 7*s), Elsa Bloodstone (if I suspect that they run suicides), Jessica Jones, iDoom (although I recently r4'd mine so I might stop doing that), and Korg.
As someone with a 7* sassy i think baning sasquach is redundant i usualy ban fighters i dont understand how to fight (which makes me not van korg despite i probably should) but they arent really consistent
I usually ban champs i have no counter for since my deck isnt as good as other people as for who people ban for my deck its usually my tigra since she is max sig r4, makes me sad everytime since she is my favorite to play
DOOM. not because i have any trouble with him. but because for some reason in BG, he behaves so stupidly that I almost never win against him .. even using Torch. one thing after another seems to always happen so I just ban him at all costs to save myself any shenanigans from this game.
I ban AA, torch and usually one of their top champs. If they have a r5 Tigra, banned. Doom? Banned. R2 sunspot? Banned. it’s a situational 3rd champ depending on their overall deck. I hunt out AA first though.
QS is my fastest ban, then Domino, Mephisto, Peni, IBom and all the others that kill you over nothing that I don't have (Peni is specific to this VT meta). 7*/R4/5 big defenders like Mangog and Korg if awakened are next. Then nukes I don't have, starting with 7*s, then Absorbing Man and other irritating defenders that I don't want to fight.
Fantaman is quickly getting to QS levels of hatred though.
I have a 7* awakened Sasquatch who doesn't make it to many matches, nor does 7* Bishop then my AA, Torch and Tigra catch a lot of bans too.
My 7* rocket is catching bans in the GC which is interesting because... critical interruption doesn't do much for him.

AA- same reason. He shuts down too many champs. I don’t want to risk not drafting him.
Usually a 7* or another science seeing as I love my mystic defenders.

AA is that OG that withstands the MCOC test of time!
Oh and thanks for reminding me how much I hate Sassy too 😂
7* Sassy? AUTO BAN!!! 👋🏽
Normally I'll ban hulkling
On the other end if I'm playing a huge whale account I don't ban them and hope I get them and can squeak out a victory against a much bigger account.
My most banned is also quicksilver. Mfs just dont let me play with him
Herc
Korg

I'm too stupid to fight them.

Only one that annoys me is wiccan being banned 9/10 games, he shuts down most cosmics, shuts down thing and takes no thorns damage for korg
I ban their top champs that I don't have in my deck. Mostly 7* mystics and Attuma/Zemo/QS/iDoom.
