Second Ban Phase: Sion, Gragas, Akali, and Azir were all thrown into the Ban Slots.
Compared to EDG, JDG was actually more afraid of EDG picking engage champions. Wukong's entry could be restricted, but Vi was different. Once she locked onto you, she would definitely control you. Then if anyone else followed up, the AD's Sudden Death would be practically guaranteed.
