This is what's wrong with this community

I go into solo q and Darius does not get banned. One of my teammates immediately says "gg" and resorts to a troll Leona top pick. I tell him it's not that big of a deal because Darius got nerfed. He tells me that Darius did not get nerfed (right, yeah, because I'm not the one that read the patch notes). This player continues to rage in champion select, saying "I'll show you how OP Darius is" (implying he will feed). The game is lost before the match even begins.

The problem this community has is refusing to learn how to play against champions. Also, if you don't get what you want, you adapt your play style. Completely childish to rage and troll when you don't get your way, this is ESPECIALLY true in ranked. Ranked is where you go to prove your skills that you've gained in normals (like the ability to play against Darius). I will fully support any system Riot enforces where you need to prove yourself before being able to enter ranked queues.

Oh and thankfully someone dodged that queue, whew!

What the game really needs is an option to report someone in the champion select menu. Even if someone dodges the queue the person doing that is still left unpunished, so the feeder just gets to start trolling again the next game...

For people like that, we need an option to kick and report. get 2 others to agree to it and its successful. When it succeeds, the lobby is canceled immediately along with the kicked player being banned from ranked queues for 5 minutes(think low priority queue), it will happen every time they attempt to enter a ranked game in solo/duo queue. Every time after that it stacks, adding on another 5 minutes. Stacks are cleared at the end of the season or by Riot if the reports are false (or by the tribunal if that thing ever comes back). If found to be false, each false reporters will be given 2 stacks, so the next time they enter a ranked queue, they will have to wait 10 minutes, assuming they have no stacks before hand. This is so people cant just abuse this for a free dodge with 0 repercussions, and so players who pick lesser played champs dont get kicked as much(hopefully) because there would be no real proof they intended to troll. If a player reaches a 1 hour ban, they are permabanned from ranked on that account, and no stacks will be dropped after the season ends, but can still be removed by Riot and/or the Tribunal, allowing them to play ranked on the account again. To reach a 1 hour ban, it would require you to false report 6 times, thus trying to abuse the system, get kicked 12 times, which at that point there is no mistaking that you are trolling, or a combination of false reporting and getting kicked.

Thoughts? did i miss anything? easy things people could still do to abuse this?

I hate trolls just as much as the next guy, but I have to admit that it's loads of fun.

The fun part about trolling is that you're not breaking the rules when you do it right. Bard is an excellent example. Throw your ult on your low health teammate's tower that they're hiding under and open up your enemy for a free towerdive and kill. "Whoops sorry I was sure he was moving for a dive there.", throw it on your teammates running from enemies "ah damn I'm really bad at leading this ult, I could've sworn they were faster" throw it on a minion wave in a lane with bad waveclear "misclick." Officially you're just a bad Bard player, and since being shit at the game isn't against the rules, you are literally safe from everything as long as you don't go 0/80/0 or start flaming.

But the best part about Bard is that all of the aforementioned can also be done in YOUR team's favor, slow down a minion wave, disable a tower for a free dive or allow your allies to get away safely. Bard is flexible in the way that you can suddenly decide you're gonna troll, and suddenly decide you're gonna stop for a while, then start again. All while never breaking a single rule but still ruining everyone else's game. Loopholes are great.
