Poll: Should Riot Prevent Teammates from Banning Pre-Selected Champs?

Dantaesh··1 votes·1,532 views

In Draft, people are allowed to ban champions that other people have indicated they want to use in the game. This creates an issue, where if someone's pre-selected champ is banned by a teammate, it trolls and griefs an entire team, and especially that one team's player. Personally, I have seen this lead to higher loss rates with teams that had a pre-selected champ banned, as well, and I would bet that the data also shows that.

Please vote on this poll, and let Riot know what the community thinks about banning pre-selected champs in drift. Should Riot prevent that from happening? Should Riot implement some sort of voting system, similar to a surrender vote, that requires two or three other team votes to ban the selected champ? If you have other ideas, please post it in the comments. Do you win games where someone's champ has been banned? Does it just cause you and your team grief? Let Riot know in the comments.

Team Banning should be allowed. Although it has its troll uses, it also has its strategic uses. For example, if your teammate is last pick and wants to play a champ that is really broken in the current patch. Because he is last pick, you dont want the enemy team to pick up the broken champion. The most logical thought is to ban

Both ways have their troll uses. The troll impact by hovering a champ so your team couldn't ban it, then the enemy gets it is much worse.

You can always pick another champ - there's almost 150 (did we reach 150 yet? i can't remember tbh). You can't unpick a champ that the enemy picks or someone else on your team picks.

I never indicate my champ now because I've gotten it banned by trolls, probably someone filled looking for a way out of the game they don't want to be in.

This does not happen very often and in those situations where you "tricked them" the game still probably went very bad because those players have a concept that that champion = loss so your effectively fighting a 4 v 5, might as well let them ban it then and play another main.
