Troll/Forced Dodge banning the champion you intend to play

Starts at 4:50 This came to my attention the second I saw this (worst affected would be diamond+)

Now spreading the ban across 3 other players seems fine up until we come to the fact, 80% of the time players do not want to play Jungle/Support (if they don't get their first role) and will Ban one of the champions above them in order to force a dodge or type "trolling this game" if that person has another champion. Instantly, they know this guy is going to troll if the game gets in and he's proven he will actually throw the game.

This seems a poor oversight when allowing other players to see what champion you want to play. The change for the system was clarity so you don't by mistake ban something someone wants to use, however it's a double edge sword;

Pros;

  1. Clarity to avoid acidental banning of a wanted champion

Cons;

  1. Hate their team comp and want to dodge, ban a teammates champion so they leave.
  2. Pre-made trolling (or see above)
  3. An actual troll, trolling. Going into games to force people to dodge for laughs and never actually playing.

My suggestion would be to make it so the top 2 (Mid/Top) champions on your team are Ban-proof.

How is this any different from what's live?

You say "Don't ban X, I want to play them" and first pick bans X. You see last picks cry "mid or feed" trying to get someone to give them a role or dodge.

The only difference is it has a slightly different UI, the people doing these things are exactly the same.

3x more likely to happen than before.

3 people get to choose a ban now rather than just 1.

I'll probably just select Taric or something as my "desired champion" and then pick what I actually want to play later.

I'd argue it's 3 time less likely to happen than now.

Most people have one champion that they hate enough to warrant a ban. They can either ban that champion or they can gamble that single ban in hopes that they ban the only champion someone on their team can play? When that person volunteered for the role they got and is likely a main or off main on it? When the gamble isn't likely to work anyway? That seems to desperate an attempt to get much ground.

Or you could, i don't know, play another champion. Weird thought right!

Any system can be exploited. Not fighting said community behaviors is what increases the misuses of said system.

You can't be forced into roles you can't play
