New Champ Select - Ban Protection from own team mates who troll

Dirty Bastard··2 votes·1,134 views

So really hoping Riot considers creating some way to protect players from trolls in the new champ select.

I just got trolled by a team member in champ select today simply because he was of course a troll. So how it went down ... I had first pick, I was top. My choice was illaoi, dude with 2nd ban choice then bans her and laughs me out. Clearly has nothing better to do than screw with people and is enjoying the ease of doing it now that the new champ select is in place.

I think that if a team mate has favored a champ, his/her team should NOT be able to ban that champ and there should be ban protection from your own team to prevent trolling.

Showing your team who you would like to play in lane to work out comps is cool, but it leads to easy trolling with douche bags and now the odds of one of the three players with ban picks it increases the probability of having a troll in the mix and it simply helps them know who to ban to screw your game plan.

Showing that you want to play X champion doesn't mean the opposing team won't pick that champion before you do. That's why teammates can ban champions teammates show they want to play.

The only solution to your problem is to just not show what champion you want to play.

I said I was first pick, they could not have picked my champ first. I was trolled, plain and simple. First pick gets the champ, the other team could not have picked her. simple enough.

OK, but I meant in general. First pick as blue is the only one that can be guaranteed a non-banned champion.

Truth, they should at least protect first pick.

Then first pick could reserve a champion, and switch to a different one when it's time to pick, which then allows the opposing team to pick that champion

Yup, ran into this issue because a friend I joined a duo with decided to keep banning Yi because I like playing him just to screw with me. The match up before that someone in my team also did the same before my friend could and said "only noobs pick non troll champs" indicating I shoulda not chosen whom I was actually intending to play thus to easily ban me from it.

Not sure how Riot didn't figure this one out, pretty obvious screw up.
