Why is banning your team's champions even allowed?

Today I had a game where this one god damned mid laner banned my shaco even though I chose it. His only excuse was "sorry man i couldn't take the risk" Sigh.

If you couldnt ban champs that allies hovered the problem would arise when you had shit like release Camille and your bottom draft player wants to play Camille so you cant ban her so the other team gets her first pick.

It can go both ways (this isn't the excuse, but it's a consideration). A player can intent pick a very banned champion that is really strong currently, then not pick that champion purposefully and give it up to the other team since it wasn't able to be banned due to the intent pick.

If you're 5th pick, and they don't ban it then they can pick it before you could.

Just do what i do when a teammate does that and feed.

I int the person on the enemy team who snowballs hardest. I've been doing it for a long time. It makes people think twice.

edit: also, if you declare that you intend to int, someone will usually dodge, and then when you get back into a group, there will be one or two of the people you were matched with before, and they'll know better. It's like a win-win. Not really a situation where everyone wins, but, one where you win twice,
