Most Frequent Bans

Bans play an equally important role. Teams aim to eliminate the most dangerous or "signature" heroes of the opponent, limiting their comfort in the game. Especially in the early stages of the draft, the strongest heroes of the current meta are often blocked — their absence can significantly affect the course of the entire series.
