@Riot Something needs to be done about trolling in champ select

Over the past 3 days I've had 2 games where there have been players getting autofilled and choose to steal roles.

Game 1- Autofilled support player asks for mid and I say no because I just finished playing support last game where I was filled myself. This player goes on to lock in a mid champion and doesn't say a word. I did not want to dodge because it would have resulted in a 30 minute wait list so I go support. This player then proceeds to go 3/12 and claims "i dont really care if we lose". So not only does he take mid lane by force he then pretty much trolls the game by not taking it seriously.

Game 2- This happened today. We get into the game and the enemy team's Twisted fate is literally running it down mid. He says he is doing this because the Zed on their team was filled to support but chose to take mid from Twisted fate. Now inting isn't right either but stealing a role is pretty scummy.

My point is, it is season 7 and there is still nothing players can do about trolls in champion select. I shouldn't have to dodge every time someone wants to take champion select hostage. I don't know if there is a clear solution to this but something has to be done

Everyone complains about champ select trolls. But what do you suggest?

Every solution you can propose will be abused by people who don't want to play with someone who is going a nonmeta champion.

In a game where there are millions upon millions of games a day, it's simply impossible to manually police everyone.

If you have a solution that isn't going to have the collateral damage of punishing off meta picks, I'd love to hear it.

Maybe they should make a voting system:

If all 4 other players vote on this player, he will be reported and champion select will be dismissed.

I had a guy freaking out, promising to int the other day after he was support and hovered Yasuo, our ADC then banned Yasuo (because who wants that with a random in Ranked) so he just went ballistic.

Thankfully someone dodged but I too was hovering that X button ready to dodge, I'd rather loose 3 LP and wait 5 mins than 18LP and 20 mins.

Report them post game. Don't give up your lane, it's on them not you. Happened to me a couple times. I stay in my lane whether they leave or not.

What we need is the honor system to work with the idea of 4 votes to restart the lobby, what I mean by that is the lobby would be restarted with 4 votes unless he was honor 5. That would still punish off meta picks a bit but you pick off meta picks if you had honor lv 5 (I got lv 5 in a month its not hard) you would be fine and if you did get to lv 5 and then started trolling you would just get demoted.[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

The trolling is typically after autofill happens. I think autofill should be an option to enable... I'd much rather wait longer than get assigned something I'm not wanting to play...

even if they put a chat bot on the champion select that will ban people if they say "give me your role or i will troll" players will just say "GIVE ME MID OR ELSE..." a chat bot would simply not work. the champion select bans would have to be manual. The thing is in most games riot cant even find trolls in ranked games,how are you going to ban someone who says he will troll and not someone who actually trolls?
