Pick intent is fine when you have a serious team you want to coordinate with. Unfortunately here in NA most players are childish trolls. I tried the new queue and confirmed what I already theorized. Many people target ban their teammates according to pick intent. One of the people even admitted that they did it out of spite because I got the position he wanted. So I suggest never using it when you have someone specific in mind that you want to play.
OR you choose a champ that you get countered by...
Profit or you have to explain to your teammates why you are changing pick.
Or pick intent something similar to the champ you are actually going to play. It "protects" your actual champ from being banned, and lets some people know what you're actually gonna play.
And I'm pretty sure there's trolls in every region...
I've had another version of this, especially in recent days; people sniping intent picks without asking the person who had them why. Aren't we supposed to maintain sportsman ship?
When i called the guy out on what he did, he became quite toxic in the game. And was upset when I played an unconventional champ in JG, and called me a feeding troll, though we had almost the same KDA.
I don't get the decision making on his part. He can clearly see, I had intent to play that champ. His justification was, after the match, that I was last pick and he was first, so he gets to pick who he wants.
Thats true though. Hover Camille jungle all you want. If top is first pick, you aint getting her. And that is kinda fair. If not practical, because else she'll get snagged by the enemy.
