lol that's funny.
Before nitro introduction, Johnson has the ability to successfully break enemy gank. Good Johnson players can change the result of the game. Johnson was not a popular pick in rank games. Few players will trash talk if I pick Johnson. Some people still banned him though.
After nitro, everyone started playing Johnson and many players were annoyed being hit with the nitro and unable to dodge. Especially mage players who dominated this meta banned Johnson. Johnson and Odette, Alice and Aurora combo became popular again
Also if your team picks Johnson, then enemy cannot play in offensive mode. If they play offensive game, Johnson will hit them and his mage ally will kill them. If they have map awareness, they can counter Johnson easily.
Many players are used to play offensive without map awareness. They started banning Johnson because he is a threat to their strategy and game play
His ban rate gradually increased because many players didn't know how to counter him or escape from his ultimate. Now he is banned in almost every game. |
