        well i dont ban anything actually. coz simply i dont belive with something called counter, coz if u good with ur hero u can surpass ur enemy. like even meepo can defeat es, enigma, tide that bound in the same team.

                A good meepo is really hard to fight against especially if you got caught off guard (Enemy last picking meepo and you got no counters)

                                        crusader 4 invoker or pudge because everyone wants to play them and it just never works out in your favor

                                        tinker or dp because they counter my fallback hero of viper in lane and make it hard to get going.

                                                  I ban

                                                  1) AM: hero is very strong and very hard to deal with if they enemy supports him properly.
                                                  2) Invoker : Dat hero is just so strong once the mid game rolls around. the number of spells that he is able to throw out in a 12 second team fight is crazy.
                                                  3) Tinker, Just gross, disgusting hero. Gets his farm always and makes highground sieges near impossible with march. Now that KAYA item is just plain silly on him.

                                                  Special mention to techies, I will always ban him in my morning game before work. I get about 1 hr to play and most games only last 35-45 mins so It means I get a game in before work without being late. Enter TECHIES and well i've been late before.

                                                  Thank goodness my work is flexible and I just have to stay a bit later so its no problem, but screw techies.

                                                  IF those above heros are banned or my teammate REALLY REALLY wants one of those heros, I will ban whichever role I am about to play

                                                  Offlane ( i want to pick pitlord so I ban jugg or ursa) for example.

                                                            AM - my teammates almost always dont have a clue how to play against him, or in my team have no impact whatsoever
                                                            Weaver - i just cant stand playing against this hero

                                                              LOL. I first pick. Thus, I usually play versus at least 2+ mana burns. KOTL, Lion, Nyx, PL, AM, Invoker, diffus weaver etc. The best counter to WK would be CK. But no ones plays on CK. Good CKs rekt me hard.

                                                              AM is almost always a free win for me if my team has a decent pick. PL, Invoker are harder to counter but after level 20 they aren't the problem. However, WK is really pick/teamplay dependant. If my team doesn't have proper lockdowns or got bad teamfight I usually lose. WK can't farm, can't split push. He has to go with the team and take towers. However, I still can win 60+ games on WK when I get my 6 slots because this hero is brutal tbh.
