One thing I always see in Ranked is people INSTANTLY banning Kass. I get that he's scary and no one wants to let him go through, but the pick/ban is its own game of poker. People that instaban Kass first gimp themselves because he was gonna be banned anyway, and they waste a ban on Kass as opposed to Shyv or Fizz or Vi or whatever.
Whenever its my team that's first ban, I freak out and tell the leader to ban Kass last, and 90% of the time, the enemy freaks and bans Kass anyway. Force the enemy to ban Kass and you suddenly can react better with your own bans.
also, Bronze 5 NA fuck yeah ;_;
