PSA: Do not ban Teammates Pick Intent

The fastest way to lose is to ban what your teammates prefer to play, either they pick something they are uncomfortable with and do badly, or they troll you. If you do not like the champ they have selected, then dodge, save yourself and everyone else 15 lp or more.

I feel your pain man. The sad part is these people will continue to ban your teammates pick intent. They need a confirmation before banning a pick intent in order to prevent all the lairs from saying "oh I didn't see you had it selected" when most of the time they either did not pay attention or did see it and still banned it out of spite

Why is this being downvoted

Or, in the case where someone is trying to take Teemo ADC in ranked or Soraka top, you can ban that pick intent because you were going to get trolled anyway. And no one wants to rack up on dodges and get dumped into a low priority queue just because other people don't have the decency to be civilized.

If our last pick wants a popular OP champion, I'm probably going to ban it.

Otherwise, the enemy team will probably pick it first and I'd rather not have to play against it.

I always troll when they do this. Don't trust my tryndamere jungle? OK, I hope Janna is better for you.

The fastest way to lose, is to not do anything to prevent the guy who says things like Kayle sup or feed.

I just op.gg them. If they're playing something 100% unsuitable for that role (e.g. Yi supp) and they have a shit W% and KDA, I ban that champ. If they're actually good on that champ in that role, I let it go.

When first pick hovers over Zed or Yasuo, that's instant ban from me.

They may or may not be strong, but I don't want one of my lanes to be over 5 minutes before it even started.
