Here's an Idea for Bans

If a champion is being hovered by a player, allies of that player cannot ban it.

I get that we all have reasons for banning allied picks, but if the player intends on trolling anyway then banning their champion isn't going to stop them from doing just that.

And by allowing players to ban allied picks, all we end up doing is enabling the trolls to have further control.

Case in point, three queues in the past two days I've had a player deliberately ban my pick. No apologies were given. One player laughed at me after doing it. And another told me that they were doing me a favor by banning a "useless champion".

Pick intent exists to inform our allies of our picks prior to the banning process so as to avoid having our champions banned by our own team.

But the freedom to ban whoever we feel like regardless of our allies' desires compromises that.

Again, if a troll is on your team, they're going to troll you no matter what you ban. But players who are trying to contribute shouldn't be subjected to hostile treatment such as having their champion banned just because allies don't like it.

I don't care why people are banning your champ.

The idea is bad, and should never be implemented.

Harsh...but true.

Very well-spoken! I'm not going to be a nay-sayer, but I think there are arguments to be made on both sides. Unfortunately, getting RG to implement this seems unlikely. They'd only change this if an overwhelming majority of the player base was in favor. Seeing as IT SEEMS LIke over 50% of the League community are rude, unfriendly, and overzealous jackasses, GL:HF getting people to see reason. :)

The face of the typical League of Legends player = Shaco or Ziggs

The face of the typical RG staff member = Lulu (hi Kengen!) and Swain

"If a champion is being hovered by a player, allies of that player cannot ban it." - works both ways, can be used to troll as well.

Right now the system used to ban picks is not ideal. More than one complaint has roamed through the boards once before and while the sentiment is well received, your idea does not come from a correct place.

Your upset, frustrated and have every right to be. But your concept is selfish and can used in the wrong too.

Consider if you got to Ban first and an allied honestly wanted to play rammus...support. Do you, would you ban his pick?

Think about it more and come up with a better bigger picture.

Wait for the new league client, supposedly will fix this...maybe
