What am I supposed to do when my lane gets stolen from me by another person?

Ok, so I've played a bit of lol, and sometimes people just steal your lane. For example, one time my friend was playing zed top because he didn't get support or JG. He called it all and everything was cool until this random guy who didn't call any lanes took top. After that, he tried to go bot but the "support" Vel'Koz told my friend to go away, since apparently he wasn't supporting. (Even though he said support or feed in pregame chat.) All of the other lanes were filled and he ended up doing really badly. What do I do when something like that happens to me? People before have told me to get out of mid lane when I called it, and I don't know what to do. What do you guys do when that happens?

Go to the lane, take the cs, but don't verbally say anything negative towards the player. The system can't find you at fault for anything if you don't say anything.

"Calling" means nothing. Only time someone can steal your lane is in draft, where lanes are predetermined. What can you do? Go to that lane anyway (2 top is fine, 2 mid is fine). Other option, go to another lane.

If someone steal your lane in draft where you get lane assigned, after game report him for negative attitude. But if its blind pick, that mode is for funny stuff lioke 2 mid, 3 jungle etc

Pick Trundle and max cdr and E. Proceed to utilize pillar to stop all recalls, teleports, and channel-based abiliites of the jagaloon who stole your lane. At max level, the timer on pillar is shorter than recall timer. Love watching them get mad at me when they stole my lane. Best seats in the house, yo. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

You actually were the yoxic player this game. You can't call lanes in blind pick, and you can't assume someone in the lane you wants speak English and knows what you are doing.

Personally, I would just shrug, find some other lane to go, then report them at the end of the game. This is one of the things that the new champ select has fixed though, now you get to select your role before queuing up. It does still happen sometimes (some people are just idiots), but it's not quite as frequent and now when they do it, it's a clear violation of the rules.

Should probably do draft pick or if you really want to stick to blind pick (idk why u would) just play whatever u called as long as u called it first and then try reporting after game. Fuck it man, it's blind pick, don't let the troll win! Claim your lane and if he gets pissed that should give u a little satisfaction since he did it to himself. Idk if the calling lanes is an official thing that's reportable, but might as well try reporting anyways and explain the situation in the description.

I'd go with draft pick. If you're going blind pick and they steal your lane, you can pretty much accept the loss at 20mins if you decided to fight over it until the game started. Maybe you will even win, who knows.

Just screw around, have fun. It didn't matter to them, so idk why it would really matter to you. Of course, don't intentionally feed or afk-- those aren't the definition of fun around here.

Be able to play all roles and change if need be. Ask the other reasonable players on the team to switch you to a role you can/want to play. As a fill main I have never understood the need to play a particular role. Also I can flex a lot of the champions I play.

There was this one time in Ranked where our last pick ADC got their prepick picked away from them so they picked Yasuo and called mid... they were last pick, we couldn't change to meet their needs. Some brave person had to lose LP (by dodging) because of that douch. he will never be punished since we didn't play out the game to report him.

There is no draft pick on OCE ranked or blind for me.
