"don't ban taliyah plz, i main her"

With that much RP and IP, yeah, it's pbe account. Also note the date.

Has flash backs of the games where people argue about the PBE not being a shit fest of trolls and AFKs*

Umm...no, you're wrong man, just flat out wrong. People have a "When in Rome" logic about the PBE but still play just as if not harder then on line because they don't want to get kicked off.

heck, I have seen instances of players banning her because they can't play her, the childish... "if i can't, nobody can"

Was up against a Taliyah in Platinum Ranked. Watching her miss all her combos and just generally move about awkwardly trying to get a grip on her kit was... painful.

More for her than for me, though, I ended 11/0/7.

Where Ranked is concerned, you should ban Taliyah to get rid of Day 1 Taliyah "mains", but let people play it in Normals.

This, to this very day, is my vayne logic.

I refuse to have a vayne on my team if there is anything I can do about it

no one really cares in ranked anymore tho. there you go fixed this for you.

Hope so, but I doubt anyone was ever banned for it.

Exclusively, probably not. But I have seen it used as evidence against people if they do anything else that deserves a ban.

Can't be banned for banning another player's pick because there's no way to prove it was done maliciously (unless you're dumb enough to say it in chat).

Otherwise it can be played off as not wanting the enemy team to get said champ, and even not wanting a champ on your team is enough to avoid a ban.

I have seen it used as evidence against people if they do anything else that deserves a ban. Doesn't matter if it's in the logs or not. If you get a griefing ban you don't even get chatlogs.

Wait, you can? That's bullshit. Just because my last pick wants malzahar doesn't mean I won't nam malzahar. And I could be banned for that?

And don't tell me to trade, very few people trade. They won't coordinate it.

Yup. If I were you I'd stop banning Malzahar when allies pick intent it. Especially if you ever tilt and rage, since if you get flagged for raging they're going to see that you were banning pick intent too.

Intentionally screwing your team over in ranked can also be considered Griefing.

Don't ban the champ in normals, that's being rude. In ranked, it's too early for people to understand how she works. and only puts your team at a disadvantage.

Playing champions you're bad at isn't against the rules according to Riot.
