Held hostage in champ select.

Hello I am Bird·2/16/2016, 3:50:05 AM·6 votes·614 views

Can we do something about this? Okay, so here's the scenario:

If you didn't see my name, I like champions that have to do with birds. So when I get mid lane, I use pick intent to pick anivia. Then, while I'm alt tabbed, I don't see this duo queue ban Anivia and the other 2 champions that us non-duo queue plebs picked.

I then ask them why they banned anivia, and got this response:

In the time that I typed that, while I will take fault for taking a while to realize it and typed out my sentence before picking a champion, I end up having about 3 seconds left. So I have to click on a random champion and lock in.

I ended up with Fiora.

So I had to play the entire game as Fiora mid, which, while it worked, it was still hell maneuvering around a Vel'Koz.

I'm not sure what can be done about this, but I have put in a support ticket, and there should be a way to report people in champ select.

Coudn't agree more about a report in champ select. A few times now I've been matched with someone or a premade who doesn't like playing with whatever champ I pre-select and they ban them. (Not to mention the follow-up: "I'm not playing with expletive expletive Ezreal" or whatever harassment

Should be able to report them for this or shouldn't allow same-team bans for pre-selected characters.

The report button at the end of the game works too. They save the chat from game as well as the lobby before and after the game.
