Seriously, when are we gonna start involving champ select in reportable offenses?

Got queued up with a duo queue bot lane who immediately in champ select start dictating in chat what kinds of champions we should play.

"Play tank top and jungle guys" "Don't play Riven" "Xerath seriously? Play something else"

When I lock in Xerath (because that's what I'm good at mid because I've always sucked at assassins even when they're op), and the other two play Riven and Jax the duo queue locks in support Aatrox and adc Teemo to punish us.

"This is what you get for not listening" "We didn't know you were gonna do something like that" "Then dodge."

I don't mind off-meta picks. My mid Xerath isn't fotm, and I love me a cheesy but effective Rumble in the Jungle, but they didn't make those odd picks because they felt comfortable with them, they picked them to scare us into dodging, and sadly it worked because I can't afford to lose many games having 0 LP in a division I just got promoted into and risk falling back. This kind of selfish behavior in chat though goes unnoticed and I've been playing this game since late S2 and have seen countless threads bringing up similar concerns over that time, many of which have blown up in comments and upvotes. Yet here we are in S6 and I can't ever remember ever seeing a red post on any of those topics, and this one won't get one either. It's disgusting how easy it is to hold champ select hostage especially with the new dynamic queue system. This was only two people, lord have mercy if you're the solo player with a 4-man premade.

As FrankerX mentioned, you can report them.

Take a screenshot (quickly in case they dodge or something) and submit it in a ticket to support.

"Seriously, when are we gonna start involving champ select in reportable offenses?" we already do that.

problem solved right? i mean everyone says that pre and post game chat also gets looked at if someone reports you... as far as i know, they dont appear in chatlogs tho. once again riot is doing a really poor job of showing us that this is true! i really think riot should add this to chatlogs. or make a statement or something. "hey you dumb idiots, telling ppl in champselect to troll is agaist the rules and we can see that"
