Trolls have too much influence in this game.

Previous game I get a vlad with AD runes and Support masteries (don't know why) and team did an ff at 20 because fizz roamed and got fed off of the Vlad early. I didn't want to ff because we had enough mid-late game power we could negate the fizz and kill everyone else who was squishy.

I go "ok probably won't get anything like that again" get into the lobby for the next game, and right after the first pick says he wants to go top, someone else goes "GG WE CAN'T WIN" "GONNA GO DOUBLE TOP DON'T CARE" and for some reason...another person follows suit and says "Let's make this triple top" I thought they were joking, but no. Gnar, Nasus, Irelia, all with Teleport. The Gnar thought they were bluffing also. Seeing as there's no way to report people from champion select, these two people don't get punished whatsoever for trolling like this. We ask why they do it. "We're not in a promos so don't care".

I never realized that people can troll harder in champion select than in game, and the best part is these people don't get punished as long as someone (me in this case) dodges, but if I decided to go through with it just to report them, then I would have lost 18-21 lp. And no, with at least 3 people going top, farm would be distributed unevenly and it would've been way too easy for the enemy to capitalize off of this, so there was a 95% chance of a loss.

No matter what, I get punished and the trolls get to have their fun and get away scot free. Why is that?

Just dodge the game and be happy it only cost you 3 LP and 10 - 20 mins of your time. I wish there was a champ select report feature, but, unfortunatly, trolls will be trolls will be trolls.

Take a screen shot and send a support ticket. You won't get ur LP back, but they will look into the case.

I know that you may be cynical but there was a huge issue in one of my pre-game lobbies a while back (in ranked) where someone threatened to feed after someone else locked top (he explicitly said it) and then he locked another top laner. From there he bitched about duo top.

I took a screenshot, dodged, and sent it to riot. They told me they would look into it. 4 days later I got another note from them saying that action had been taken, but that they cannot discuss what the action due to the ToU.

So yes, champ select can get people banned in extreme cases.

Don't take me wrong. I also did similar stuff as you did, but never recieved "4 days later I got another note from them saying that action had been taken, but that they cannot discuss what the action due to the ToU."

:/

I still think it's a terrible solution for SS -> dodge -> mail -> await reply for one of the most popular games these days

My case was really bad (once again people explicitly said that they would be feeding "I lost last game, so I don't feel like trying. I'm just going to feed" was the exact quote, and then we tried to talk him down but it didn't work and he replies with "nah, fuck you. I would rather feed."

So I am really glad Riot gave me closure on that, but i don't see them doing it in a "well my team comp is bad and one guy sweared at me, so I am going to dodge and report."

I had a Braum jungler in normals who didn't get that role first, but played it anyways. He claimed he was going to stick it to the meta sheep and show us all, instead he ended up feeding and stealing 2 kills. Never even tried to get dragon. We had two junglers and neither of them did. Our poor ADC ended up flying solo against a Caitlyn and Nidalee lane, so I understood their frustration more than anything.

After the game ended he claimed the team was just salty and he was going to try his luck in ranked with his new favorite pick, and win. I literally started laughing because I was horrified. I sincerely hope he didn't.

Another common thing I see is people who get stuck with support, but don't pick a support type champion or even get support spells because they're going to take farm. A lot of them even say they're going to duo bot with a melee champ. Someone suggested a kick vote for ranked mode only, and I seriously think riot should look into something like that. Forcing people to take a chance with a troll, or lose LP for dodging is depressing to think about.

I don't think a vote kick system would work because you can't really replace someone in champion select. Maybe a vote group dodge instead? Would act just like a normal dodge but punish no one.
