your draft isn't terrible but CM + lich as supports mean you can't gank jack shit, they're way too defensive
if you swapped lich for, idk, WD or lion it would be better looking
SlickVickk really liked Lich and I didnt know if I wanted to go for the CM/Jugg safelane yet. I banned Silencer because my game w/ Magnus the same day was derailed by Silencer, and in this 2k MMR bracket when people are looking for an annoying support to just win a lane, they want Silencer. Lich and Magnus is also a combo I wanted to try.
@sano, Really? I think a WD would've been good as well, ty for suggestion.
Defensive draft with jug Magnus and sniper is fine cus all those are late game beasts and other team only had one late game carry. Other teams draft was too specialized. Too heavily gank oriented and needs to snowball to a win which I generally don't like to do in pubs
defensive draft is one thing, not having disables is another. the only thing to stop SB / puck was frostbit and that's it, if SB or puck weren't 2k they would probably wreck your team because of the freedom you're giving them. it's like not having stuns vs storm
How about my bans? Since they first picked supports I just focused on banning gap closing carries to really make Sniper an insane threat.
idk why did you ban silencer, doesn't seem worth it
storm is fine, PA I also think unnecessary. clock is probably the best offlaner vs sniper. the slark ban is also fine since your team has absolutely no AoE or silences
@sano, Yeah the SB made some dumb charges, but the frostbites from our CM were on point. Puck did get 3 kills on sniper mid but we gifted him lots of kills and made a lot of space for him. We ended up shutting down Puck and forcing them to turtle otherwise if we caught them farming they would be dead, hence the 64 cs on CK. Since Lion was taken by them first, who do you think could replace Lich? And does he really need replacement in this draft considering the Magnus?
Also, this is why I banned silencer:
You don't have to explicitly counter puck and sb, aside from sniper your lanes are hard to gank. It's hard to gank a jug with blade fury and Magnus eithe charge to escape. Once you have farm their team is screwed.

So I played a match yesterday and we handily won an easy game. However, they were pretty bad and I just wanna see some opinions on the weaknesses of my picks/bans. I was a pretty poor position 3 but I was involved in a ton of kills. So just give me your opinions on my draft so I can get better at it.
