Alright, Spear of Vengence NEEDS to be optional to accept

Let me know what you think in the comments about this....

Alright a bit ago I was under an extended duration of trolling in game. Specifically back to back games with a Kalista user in the game. Usually not a big deal. one of my good friends plays league with me and coordination is fantastic. However this was not my friend nor was there any coordination What. So. Ever.

These Kalista's (4 in a 7 game span) would force their ult on someone ill suited to the task and ult them at extremely in opportune times and pull them out of the fight instantly to get the kill. 3 of these 4 games it was me and I would either lose a kill and the person would get away or I would get thrown off by the suddenness of it and end up right clicking to "attack" when i just throw myself to my death.

I submitted a ticket and after the usual run around blatant disregard for anything their player says, the ticket responder suggested I make a post in the forum. After that point I just gave up because I knew that as per usual support wasn't going to offer any solution that actually helps. I did in fact report them and it did in fact do nothing to prevent the next one from trolling our game.

So I went about my gaming until today, in which I was apart of a game the toxicity of which I had not seen in awhile. This Kalista thankfully did not ult me , but ulted someone playing Kayle who asked not to be ulted. After learning to ignore the nasty cursing, laughing, insulting I began to notice tactics such as letting this Kayle do all the work and ult her get the kill, pulling her out right as she uses ult to waste it and general maliciousness. In fact the extent of the trolling was so great had she ulted me I would have ended up afking through the game due to me not wanting to deal with it. Everyone on the team was angry at the Kalista, but we could not stop her as she kept ruining the game and laughing her butt off.

Not to worry Riot not to worry. I have a solution which will help. It has zero cons and the pros are overwelming. How many patches can make that claim?

The adjustment is as follows. You make the spear optional to accept. To be honest, given how toxic the league community is this should have been the norm from the get go , but due to I'm not sure... you guys didn't implement it. The cons are 0 (Unless someone can message down below as to what they might be).

A good coordinated Kalista team like the one me and my buddy have doesn't change, in fact no synergy changes at all. If you are a coordinated team then life goes on as normal and the enemy lives continue to end. However if you are a troll, your bubble gets busted. Problem solved and players can stop getting trolled in a community known for its toxicity and trolling.

I appreciate feedback.But to be honest given as to how this really doesn't change the game except for the better, I don't really see a counter argument. I would love someone to point one out for me if they see one tho.

If you believe it should be optional vote yes and say why below, if no tell me why you think it shouldn't be.

I had a Kalista use the spear on me in lane which left us open to being attacked.

It's a really inconvenient ult, I wish they would change it altogether. Hell, I hate playing her when my bonded teammate has no idea how to react even though I told them I'd ult them.

It's a poorly executed ability and makes me play the champ less. Which sucks seeing how fun she can be otherwise.

The main issue I can see with your fix is if, in lane, if Kalista uses the spear on someone not only are they unable to do anything, they get stuck with a pop-up window (or some other means of consenting to the spear), meaning they could be in serious trouble due to having to close it
