How about a protected intended pick for champion select??
What if, when you go to select your pick intent, you have the option to give yourself a protected pick. These would allow for your team to know who you want to play as, but not be able to ban them. The sacrifice for this is that if you choose this option, you have to lock in that champ (unless the other team bans them). Your teammates could not chose to lock in this champ if they have pick order as well. Trading would still be possible though. If two or more players on a team pick to protect the same champion for selection, then the first one in the pick order gets it. If you get banned by the other team while holding the protected champ, you would select like you do currently.
and tank everyone for days.

Mid and i really don't want my team to troll me and ban it. So i lock it in as a protected pick.
