End the Cham Select Trolls in Ranked Games.

So... We have all had it happen. You go into a ranked game. Everyone gets ready calls rolls... and there is that ONE guy who picks a champ that cannot possibly fill the role that is needed. Example: Someone Picks volly for jungle. Someone else picks an ADC someone else picks mid... fid support and then... "I'm going Karthus top." We have all seen plenty of things that are NOT within the meta work, however there are some cases when stuff like this happens.

There SHOULD be a way for the other 4 players on the team (by a 3/1 vote ONLY) to back out of the game and re queue without penalty. Instead, penalize the person who is obviously trolling/causing problems/ going to be an incompetent teammate before the game even starts. While THIS might not be a time that EVERYONE would agree needed a boot for our Karthus, an option like this would be nice. A sufficiently harsh penalty would keep people from agreeing to be booted. Something like this, though, needs to be done.

They are working on a system where we que for individual roles, just wait. Trolls should be a thing of the past by the end of the year.

to be fair to your teammates.

top karth can work. dyrus and TSM proved that in the LCS and worlds.

the fear with this idea which RIOT has stated several times, is that this would just bring a return to the old days before the penalty for leaving queue when this would happen over and over again for a half an hour. (that still happens if occasionally, a friend and i queued for 9 attempts in a row before we got into a game recently. but it's much rarer today)

I actually like this idea. If you know for a fact that someone is gonna troll then getting them out of the queue is better than having them and losing. I wouldn't mind if this got added.

more than anything else, I agree because:

even if "top karth" would work, if the rest of the team hates the idea, then the team is not going to win, because right from the start there's no teamwork.

However, I personally disagree with Riot's current stance in the future. It would be nice if players could agree to back out of a game when they can see that they will not win, but there's no reason the same kind of trolling described in this topic can not continue with the new queing options expected to be in effect in the future.

top karthus is not THAT bad imo. you just gotta be good, and your jungler has to be AD or your mid top and jungler get cancelled out by MR

Any champion can work in any role, its just how the player performs with him/her in which doesn't guarantee a troll whether you see something out of the NA Meta, or any Meta for that matter.
