Revisiting the idea of kicking; ranked
Remember the last time when you were in soloq in ranked. Now try to pinpoint a specific match where someone did not follow the pick roll, or trolls on purpose.
There has been several occasions where I can pin point people who troll in pre-lobby. These people come in different varieties, and unforuntatly, the only viable option is to dodge. Losing 3 points, and increasing onwards. People dodge for different reasons; trolling, toxics, and not following pick order (especially this one!) I think there should be a kick option similar to a surrender vote.
If you don't know, the surrender vote requires 4/5 votes (80%) votes to be kicked. There could be a small popup in pre-lobby if a particular player who is not following pick order, or obvious trolling, to kick him or not. If that person is kicked, everyone is sent back in que for another match with the same players (not the person who got kicked). I'm sure this will fix the problem with some trolling, especially in pre-lobby. So many times I had to deal with double mids, double tops, triple mids, double jung, no adc, just because someone didn't get their roll and wanted to troll. (This happens 60-70% of the time in bronze-silver)
"BUT U DONT HAVE TO FOLLOW META" Fine, you don't have to follow it, but there is a fine line between picking teemo jung and 4 other player trying to win the game. The new season is almost here, and this addition along with the new tribunal will make ranked atmosphere a better place. Already I'm starting to notice better behavior from other people (even myself) in-game, but when it comes to pre-lobby, it's like 3 people fighting and yelling toxicity each other for mid lane.
-
"I CALLED MID FIRST"
-
"NOPE I DID"
-
"STFU DOUBLE MID GG"
We can easily remove this. Unfortunately we can't implement this in normals, because kicking will be in more of the hands of premades themselves (unless Riot decides to only let solo people kick) which is not a bad option either. Right now, I want all of you to go to a normal match; in a pre-game lobby. I will bet you someone will auto lock and not even care, while someone else has called their lane first. Or watch when someone argues with verbal toxicity because someone called their role legit. We can get rid of that, especially in ranked. Here is what it could look like:

Now when you do click on it, a small report option will come up. (similar to the one at post-game), however, instead if it being unlimited characters, it will only have a max of 50 characters. No one wants to read an essay of why you would want to kick him. Things like:
- Trolling; Teemo jungle.
- Double mid when I called mid first.
- Decided not to go adc.
- Picked sion adc.

When you hit the enter, or submit buttom in this case, an alert will come up similar to the surrender option in the options to other players ON YOUR TEAM:

Notice, it still requites 4 people. I think this is reasonable if everyone single person wants you kicked, then you need to be kicked. After the individual is kicked, you and your team are sent back in the waiting time for another match, notice you will be with the same players as you were in LAST GAME, unless you force cancel it and come back in it. This will derail some of the chances of getting another troll on another team.
Edit: Guys, remember it's a 4-1 probability, so picking something like Sion jungle and you know how to play, you won't be kicked. Picking someone like ashe jungle WILL get you kicked, or trolling, or toxicity.
Edit: Important Point; "...to kick in the hault of 20 seconds. In other words, when you go in-lobby no one is able to pick champions, but as intact they can call their roles. Anyone toxic about it will be kicked in the time lapse of 20 seconds, if no one is kicked, the regular 90 seconds continue with the kick option being turned off."
