A Kick Button for trolls in Champ Select??

TL;DR: We need a voting button to kick trolls in champ select so people don't have to give up LP dodging or suffer a minimum 20 minutes.

Hey everyone,

So this is something I was thinking about today after a queue I felt an overwhelming need to dodge when it became apparent there were duo'd trolls in the room, out to make the night poor for people trying to climb the ladder. After dodging (and I waited to see if anyone else would), I thought to myself, 'It sucks to have to take the bullet. But it would suck for anyone else too, and those guys just get their way.' And then I thought about it: What if there was a voting button to boot players from a room? Naturally it would have to be a majority rules (like all 4 of the other players would have to make this vote) unless it was a duo (in which case 3 players would be majority and it would kick both). I know there are likely some inherent flaws to this idea, like people abusing it, but with a majority system, it might be easier. I don't feel people would abuse it as groups of 4 in solo queue. While I would love to see this in norms too, it makes more of an impact to solo/duo queue because of the loss in LP, and so having a 5 minute time ban, while it sucks, is not as bad as losing LP, and due to the serious nature of ranked vs the laid back nature of norms, I could see it being a problem there. In addition, where you can only be up to two people in a ranked game, in a norms you can be a group of 4 and vote that 5th off until you get someone you like, so it really has no business in norms/the casual play area. Lastly, the button if it is felt that a player/players are abusing it, can have less frequency in ability to use in some fashion? Maybe upon unsuccessful kicks, the number of times you can use it in X period of time is reduced by one? And this is just an idea. Thoughts?

Riot if you see this, would you mind enlightening me on it's flaws from your point of view? I am just brainstorming, and would like some feedback to go back to the drawing board with. Please and Thank You.

Trolls would abuse it like everything else.

The people playing ranked are elitest enough without giving them a kick button for anything that isn't on mobafire. it would Stifle creativity. Maybe just a find a new queue button? (This is why I don't play ranked)

As long as it needs 4 votes to kick and cannot be done by pre mades.
