Banning Preferred Picks in New Champ Select

Agent Tatsu·1/16/2016, 12:30:16 AM·2 votes·1,904 views

It's happenning a lot, and I understand sometimes it's better to ban a champ to avoid the risk of the other team picking up that champion...However, kids will be kids, and that reason is often not the case. To avoid this, can we at least put it to a vote? Like, say, Summoner 1 has Yasuo as their preferred pick. Summoner 5 guy wants to ban Yasuo, so he selects Yasuo...but before he can lock it in, it goes to a vote to determine whether the champion is banned or not. If the vote fails, Summoner 5 has to pick a different champion to ban.

Sometimes people will ban a champion that their teammate wants because they don't want that champion on their team.

Or you can also just not choose a preferred pick if you're that afraid it'll happen

If someone is going to troll pick or choose something I believe will disadvantage the team composition, I'd probably ban it.

At the same time, I suppose I'd rather have everyone play a champion they're comfortable with.

Hmm.. I think the current system is fine. Some people are just babies.

No just make it impossible to do so. I never ban my teammates picks because I'm not a fucking asshole. Until they make it impossible I'm going to dodge every game this happens so I don't have to play a 45 min game with those pieces of shit.

That'd be a terrible feeling, picking Urgot and the entire team votes to ban it, I'd give up on that team and not bother trying anymore out of spite so I'm not sure if I agree with this, despite wanting some measure of protection for preferred picks being banned but what I would feel like doing would probably be what a lot of people would do

So, if Summoner 5's ban gets voted against, and he chooses another ban, does the team vote again? And again, and again? People are already complaining about long queue times...
