I Just Had The Strangest Ranked Solo Queue Game

So I queue up for Mid/ADC and end up with ADC (my weaker role but I can deal with it). I choose Kog'maw for my pick intent. Now why is this important you might ask? Well that's because Kog'maw just happens to be my second best champion and one of my favorite champions overall I just really enjoy playing him. We go through the banning phase and I ban blitzcrank and last pick (the guy below me) bans Kog'maw.

So I'm like "Why the fuck did you ban my champion? You can't make a bullshit excuse I mean, I was intending to pick Kog'maw." "You're 4th pick and I don't want the enemy team to pick him." the then locking in nautilus says. The second pick nasus agrees with this guy. Kog'maw in low elo to my experience isn't nearly as ridiculous as he was a few patches ago. I decide to call him out on his fear in a somewhat rational way (I know I'm kind of making myself out to be the hero but i'm kind of not).

The naut tells me to stop crying and to stop playing one champion even though he clearly saw my level 5 mastery on Ezreal as we entered the game. The nasus makes a rather reasonable argument that obviously they could have picked him and rekt us which I can see as a logical reason, but I answer back by pointing out the cynicism in that choice by saying "You're also implying that you think me and my sup can't be a Kog'maw in lane" and it kind of slows down from there. At the end of that, I'm pretty sure me and the nasus saw both sides of that argument after it blew over.

TL;DR Some dude banned my champ we actually had a somewhat civil debate about whether or not it was the right decision.

I think this one is pretty obvious but just in case some people don't get the message: don't use my match history as a way of backing up your reasoning obviously you can't decide a match from that considering the ridiculous amount of factors that affect a players performance.

  1. Banning a champ one of your allies want to play is a dick move, particularly if you say nothing in chat.
  2. The way you "asked" why he banned Kog is the entire reason there was an argument in the first place. You could have been reasonable and simply asked.
  3. Knowing Kog is often banned you could have asked someone higher in the pick order to grab him for you.
