Vote to Kick in lobby idea...?

This is something I replied on another post, and someone suggested I post it here, so here it goes...

All too often, I see players who outright say "F%&! you guys, I am doing whatever I want." And completely disregard the team comp or open roles. Many times, they have even outright said they are gonna troll hard. These players want to lose to watch people get mad.

I really think the best option for riot to combat this would be to have a "vote to kick" option in the lobby screen.

At least in that case, no one has to dodge to avoid playing a game (and losing) with a troll and being wrongfully penalized. If the vote to kick option were implemented, it should require a majority of the team lobby (like surrendering). If a majority agreed to kick the player, then it should treat it as if the kicked player dodged the queue (and penalize them with the LP loss and temporary queue ban to prevent getting in a lobby with them again.)

I know riot may never see this comment, but I feel like it's a start. I'm tired of being trolled by people smurfing on accounts they don't care about and throwing games. Yes I am still scrounging around in Silver, but if the option to kick players in the champ select lobby were implemented, I feel the game would be much more enjoyable as well as a more accurate representation of players' skills.

Edit: So Some people are suggesting that this might get abused if it were implemented and I agree that people out there are not always mature. So maybe instead of instantly penalizing a player after being kicked, they could be allowed a "grace period". This would simply be something like a warning message to a player saying that they kicked and if it happens again, they will be penalized as if he dodged a queue.

Noob isn't just a new player But a player new to the group or to the champ played.. I feel you on wanting to get rid of rude and people who just down right don't want to play and make a mess of things..Im new to this game, but I'm not new to P.v.P style combat and a group focus. If it can be targeted to and only to people who are trolling and being rude and afk that would be great that targets all the unfair play.

But I would hate to log into a game and be asked to leave cuz I say I don't know how to play a class or get into a game and I play very bad whats to stop a vote to kick me from the game that I too have put time into learning something..I'm not downing vote to kick I know how people can be at times but there should be something to protect the newbe just getting into rated games and so on

What about a 4 man que troll that just goes around majority kicking? If this, vote to kick idea, would be implemented then each incident would need to be recorded by the tribunal, and so many kicks given by a team or singular player should be looked at by the tribunal and actions taken accordingly to the crime.

I have seen bad things come from a vote to kick given a noob joins the party he is more prone to get kicked then the team trying to help him. How fair would that be and just think of how the guy feels who gets booted all the time. As well as 2 or 3 trolls running together so they can't be booted just to make people mad..

I think this would be a good idea in ranked only. I see too much abuse in normals.

To clear up confusion, I would like to point out that this idea was really only meant for ranked. I understand people would like to abuse this, but typically, people seem to take ranked more seriously (sometimes a little TOO seriously). The whole point of this idea was to try and keep the trolls in normals and out of ranked.

ok guys this just happened 3 times in a row i had to dodge last game becuz of this, ok well in rankedwe all try to talk and get the teamwork going on early yuh now but there is one guy thth never talks or says anything, then they pick a lane thth is already filled like dude get with the meta i mean why are you gonna troll like thth so the kick in lobby thing would be a great add in

This is a brilliant idea, normally when ever there is a troll in the game I have to leave the lobby and wait for a while to get back in the game.
