Anti Troll Picks in Ranked

 This has been an ongoing problem and I feel its due time Riot focuses their attention on it. 

During champion select there are these tabs at the top that are able to be set to focus champions, these options are even named after the roles they are to be played in YET Riot has not locked these champions to their roles, Why? Is there a reason this shouldn't exist at least in ranked game play? Too often I find myself stuck on a team that has that one person that wants to ruin others games that attempt to progress, Is there a penalty for them choosing off meta and then feeding? NOPE, I still run across these people most likely on other accounts. Is there a penalty for someone who wants to dodge to avoid these toxic aneurysm inducing games, there sure is! This is wrong and really should be addressed.

 One option would be a vote kick option that would be a council similar to how banning phase works, right click the character proposed removed from group and a majority vote would be enough to remove them from group and penalize them with a timer to requeue. 

Being in a promotion series and dodging because one of these players is in your group **SHOULDN'T ** cause a loss to be strike against possible progression in the series in addition to being timed out. Why this is this way is beyond me and extremely frustrating.

Majority vote = that three man premade with one member who got counterpicked? Well now they're votekicking you so you suffer the dodge penalty from the lobby dissolution they manufactured. "But Solo/Duo Queue only has two-man premades!"? Great, so that premade bot only has to get one other person on their team who got counterpicked to go along with their scheme in order for the vote to pass. How likely is it that out of 3 players, one of them got counterpicked? If we assume about 40% of picks are a counter to their picks, then with three chances that's a 21.6% chance that nobody got counterpicked.

Your proposed change would cause 78.4% of ranked matches to get dodged, and the penalty assigned to the wrong player.

"Riot has not locked these champions to their roles, Why?" Because there is no enforced meta, and there never will be. Get over your robotic adherence to the meta.

 I should have clarified, this pertains to solo/duo queue which is what I play the most of and have majority experience playing.

Poppy ADC or Zed Top how is this viable and not subject to punishment? Honestly there needs to be some fix for situations where people purposely throw matches in champion select because they either don't know the game which they would have no business being in ranked in first place, or they genuinely feed off the attention they get from screwing over others, as a seasoned player from season 2 I can genuinely say that metas exist and for a reason and this is a discussion on enforcing that.
