Prevent teammates from banning a Champion YOU have selected!

So I think this is an important part of champion select which seems to never have been implemented. So, some context - I am a Teemo one trick and whenever I select Teemo I'm playing a random chance variable of 1/3 games where someone on my own team will ban Teemo. You may make the argument that I just "shouldn't select Teemo". Well... this feature was originally implemented to allow players to communicate their pick to other players in order to make a better / more well rounded team composition. All I'm asking is that when I have a champion selected my own team members cannot ban that champion. Basically ranting, but I thought this should be brought up.

Thanks, Mike

Except this can create a problem, Because a lot of people like to choose REALLY OP champions (Example: Kaisa)

And those people may be last 5 pick

And by the time they get to pick, Someone on the enemy team might already have Kaisa

So... Nah.

Problem is that often people who are late pickers will hover champions that are very likely going to be picked by the enemy team before them if they aren't banned - in which case it's better to just ban those champs then take the risk, especially if its a particularly strong champ or one that would give the other players on your team a very hard or annoying time to deal with.

Just hover something similar (ranged, AP etc.) So that teammates can still pick around your damage type and range if they want, and that way they can't know to ban him.

This way you know that if teemo got banned it's because people don't want to play against him, rather than wanting to keep you from playing him.

Edit, you're gonna have to get a summoner name change though, otherwise people will know.

I think a confirmation that your teammate has selected that champ would be a nice compromise, but straight up preventing them from banning him isn’t a no go.

If that happens to me I just straight up int
