Can we get an option to flag a player for an inappropriate pick in champion select?

I'm okay with people breaking the meta here and there but if you've got a guy that keeps queuing up as Braum jungle (for example) in ranked and someone has to constantly dodge it's not good for the game. An option to flag the guy would give Riot a chance to see who keeps trolling in champion select and forcing others to give up a few LP repeatedly.

On a side note, the autofill is too fast now. People keep getting support or other roles they didn't pick after just a few minutes of waiting so this leads to people dodging more frequently. Make it so I can either wait for the one role I want, or at least give us the option to wait longer for the autofill to kick in.

Braum jungle is legit fuck off please

in champion select reporting could be good but people shouldn't be punished for off meta picks

On one hand I'd be for this because I'm still mildly traumatized by a Rengar adc. On the other hand I'd probably be flagged constantly because they can pry my Orianna support out of my cold dead hands.

If its a champion you play frequently, it wouldn't affect you because it wouldn't make it past review.

They'd see that you play it frequently and even win with it.

I'm with you, and I like Ori. I'm not proposing that someone gets flagged for Rengar adc and gets banned or something, but if they pick Rengar adc and a bunch of games are cancelled because of it, then there should be a penalty.

Braum jg is probably a poor example, since that's a somewhat legit thing, and while it's rare, I've seen some jg braums get to be completely disgusting with enough AS and raw damage to keep someone CC'd long enough (ult into passive stun or vice versa) to 100-0 them. Fairly sure it was even something dash did in /all chat during the will it jungle segment, with the conclusion that braum can jg.

Anyway, there are no rules surrounding champ choices, and riot doesn't enforce the meta (and there would be a great deal of uproar if they ever tried [recall the support singed fiasco]), so flagging accounts that pick unconventionally in champ select wouldn't accomplish anything. People who pick weird in champ select and then go on to intentionally feed or similar can be reported (and I believe there are systems to detect it even in the absence of reports), but reporting people for unconventional picks (or simply having poor games despite trying to do well) is just going to get your report priority reduced or even outright ignored.

Both Pantheon and Orianna support are pretty damn good.

I've got no issue with those picks. Something like Zed support would be worthless though. My complaint is that if that guy goes Braum jg, Zed support, Udyr adc, whatever garbage you can think of, and ten games are cancelled because of it, that's a problem. I'm annoyed with queues popping, then someone leaves, and waiting through this process repeatedly. It's been happening a lot lately.

I don't agree with this, as someone else said, Braum jungle can be a legit pick, if people are dodging it isn't because it can't win, it's because they don't want to deal with it and that's their problem, not the pick's problem. A lot of people would complain about my Katarina top, despite the fact that it can be actually good if played right(though certain champions could likely make her suffer).
