If you're at low elo, ban Katarina... an experianced player will often pick her up, and she absolutely annihilates low ranked players who don't know how to deal with her
Ban specific counters to champions you (or your team) will be going for.
Ban counters who are a big problem to your play style. ie Vi is a nightmare for most ADC's, so if your team relies on the ADC to carry hard, she may be a good ban.
