Banning your own team's hero picks = un-necessary grief and toxicity. Remove that option, please!!

In team select, you now get to see what hero each member of your team is planning on playing.

A toxic person can then ban the hero you have planned, just to be annoying and troll.

I've had this happen to me numerous times. Which usually devolves into verbal disagreements among teammates and setting a toxic atmosphere for the entire game. Which results in misery for everyone, rather than fun.

A simple solution?

Make it so that YOUR team can't ban any of the (up to) five heroes that your team has pre-selected as preferred champions. This eliminates the chance of toxic play with basically no down side.

I'll ban the living shit out of Graves if our last pick wants to play him. I'm not risking the enemy team getting him.

So no.

Riot addressed this issue they basically said if your top is last pick and wants to play jax, mundo, insert stong champion you shouldn't be forced to risk the fact their top could be first pick and pick mundo jax or the current op champions. If the ability to ban peoples champs who they intend to play is removed then I could troll by picking mundo or jax so we can't ban them. Then I don't play them so the enemy team can pick them.

Just don't show your pick intent. Common sense.

It has room for trolling sure, but what if I want to ban a champion so I don't have to face it on the enemy team? Like Mundo.

This wouldn't work because as others have said.. if you want to play the FOTM champ (ex: DrMundo ) But you aren't first pick then as everyone else has said the smart thing to do would be to ban said mundo.
