Banning Your Teammates' Pick Intent

This post has been made a hundred times and I am dumbfounded how Riot hasn't picked up on this issue.

So some sacks of flesh who are terrible at functioning properly as a human being consider that it's logical to ban his/her ally's pick intent in champ select, and this is justified by "I think this champion will make us lose". People try to combat this by troll-picking to get them to dodge or just simply dodge themselves.

I hate to represent a broken record of the community but if the answer is dodging or more toxicity, why are we punished for having our pick intent banned by other people?

The solution has been there all along, and that is making it impossible to ban your teammates' pick intent. Is it really that hard to implement that solution into the already horrid Dynamic Queue system?

Play blind pick. Problem solved.

Just for shits and giggles, let's take a look at the opposite outlook:

I think this champion will make us lose

Turns into

I think this champion will make us win

If that champion is so good, then why wouldn't the other team pick it? If that champion would make you win, does that mean you will lose if the other team picks it?

Hell I'm game, let's take this further.

Why are you locking in a champion before you even see the other team?

If someone respectfully asks you to change your champion, are you going to?

Why are you locking in a champion without consideration for your own teams strengths and weaknesses?

` Basically, first pick is the only one with any moral ground on the issue.

"some sacks of flesh"?

take a chill pill, mate, it's just a ban it's just a video game.

It is not as if they pick/ban your job or your love interest.

i ban riven or vayne if i see a teammate wanting to play it just because its 75% likely that they are going to feed with that champion
