Why these bans keep happening

- Florentino is low-pressure in draft but still converting games, which makes it a more credible sleeper than a hero inflated by hype. Florentino's latest official balance note worth citing is S15: Adjusted Skill Damage. That is usually the first reason to check when the weekly numbers shift.
- Augran is relatively stable right now, and that stability matters because it suggests the hero is not surviving on temporary hype alone. Augran does not have a current-season official balance note in the last 45 days, so the safer read is to treat the current movement as a live result of win rate, pick rate, and ban pressure instead.
- Liang is relatively stable right now, and that stability matters because it suggests the hero is not surviving on temporary hype alone. Liang does not have a current-season official balance note in the last 45 days, so the safer read is to treat the current movement as a live result of win rate, pick rate, and ban pressure instead.
- Li Xin is relatively stable right now, and that stability matters because it suggests the hero is not surviving on temporary hype alone. Li Xin does not have a current-season official balance note in the last 45 days, so the safer read is to treat the current movement as a live result of win rate, pick rate, and ban pressure instead.
- Daji is relatively stable right now, and that stability matters because it suggests the hero is not surviving on temporary hype alone. Daji does not have a current-season official balance note in the last 45 days, so the safer read is to treat the current movement as a live result of win rate, pick rate, and ban pressure instead.

Ban rate is a warning signal

Ban rate usually points to frustration, draft pressure, or strong one-trick value. It does not always mean the hero is unbeatable. Before spending a ban, check whether your team has a reliable counter pick or whether the hero only becomes dangerous in specific lanes.

When to ban instead of counter

Ban the hero when your draft cannot answer its main engage window, when your team has multiple squishy carries, or when the hero is a common one-trick in your rank. Counter it when you have same-lane pressure, reliable crowd control, and enough damage to punish the first failed engage.
