You are letting Trolls win

Just a simple thing I thought would help stop some of the trolling in the lobby before a match, as this happens both on purpose, and on accident.

How many times have you clicked accept to get into a game and banned that awfully OP champion in the lobby automatically? Whats this? A message from my team? "OMG dude you reported my champion" locks in janna jungle "Now im trolling"

....

Why does riot allow your OWN TEAM to ban champions that you are hovering in Pre-select? If I am hovering a champion then MOST of the time I plan on playing that champion, so why is my own team allowed to ban it? It just seems like it should not be a feature.

You can always pick another champion to play - but if you (or especially the enemy) picks the champion I want to ban, there's no going back. This means banning is more important than picking.
You'd still have "trolls" if you forced players to not ban teammates' hovered champs - I could be last pick, hover an OP champ, just so it doesn't get banned and the enemy gets it.

Trolls will troll, no matter what you do to stop them.

There's also situations in which banning a teammate';s champion is acceptable. For instance say you're last pick and you want to play OP FOTM, but you lack the champion that first/second pick wants (or don't even bother asking them to pick for you). Odds are the enemy team will pick said champion if they leave it open and I'm not playing against it. I'd also say that if you hover a champion that you have an established low winrate on banning it is perfectly justifiable (in ranked)

How do you report a champion?
