Enter character select and someone asks for my role. After i tell them no they tell me they're going to lock into my role. What is the protocol from riot to what i am supposed to do in this situation. Is pre-game chat even looked at? I have never ever been told that any of my reports resulted in a punishment in my years of playing. Queue dodging isn't a valid call here because then i sacrifice my ability to even report them.

Say no and play your role. The system automatically looks for people not playing their assigned role and flags them to find out if it was a mutual decision or not. If it's not, it's a punishable offense.

And yes, pre and post-game chat are able to be reviewed for punishments. Simply make a note of when it happened in the report you file after the game is over.

Normally a person who wants another role means that their not as good at a certain role however if they don't ask Politely that means their just a kid that has anger issues.

Random asks for Role " GIVE ME MID OR FEED" I would keep the role that they want from you and just mute them in game and try to play, chances are if they ask for a role they are either A. A kid that sucks B. Sucks in general C. Spoiled D. Can't play a certain role that they got instead of the one that they were given

If you think you can win or just need the role that you have and they want I would say this when the conversation starts if they are a Nice person.

Random " Can I mid" You should say no but say it like this " no I'm sorry" Chances are if they are a nice person they will say "ok" then and only then should you consider switching with them as they don't seem to have Rage or salt but again its your choice if you want to switch roles.

Nice Post and Have a Good One !

I'd say give it to them and learn to play different roles.

sometimes not often sometimes though there is that situation where someone demands a roll.. then your champ gets banned OR picked.. that situation is only called for a dodge

For me personally it depends. I choose to never make the final decision to doom my team.

So, if they pick before me, I'll go for damage control and pick what my team needs. If they pick after me, though, I usually say "I don't negotiate with terrorist" and pick my role. Most people don't follow through anyway, because they still want to win. If they do follow through, well... as said, I prefer not dooming my team, so I'll try my best to fill the leftover role with whatever I picked.

I would give it to him just because I don't want troll in my game and want to win. But I can play everywhere, so don't know what to do if you can't fill

Either stand your ground or swap with them. Just be polite about it whichever way you choose, play your best, and report them after the game.

the other option you have, just give it to them. it's better than getting trolled
