So I play mid, a highly sought after role, and have had, on multiple occasions, players on my team ban my champ after i chose them in champ select cause they want to play mid and are hoping ill give them the role if i cant play my main. I always dodge these games cause Im not going to play with scum like this, just wish there was a way to report these people. Thoughts?
It is very hard to prove that they are abusing the system.. and even so, Riot considers the ban system to take priority over desired picks. As such, they're permitted to ban whatever champions they want, and this behavior is not reportable.
If you think the game mechanics need to be changed, it is likely better to discuss that on the Gameplay boards. An example being if you have ideas of how to change the champion select process to eliminate the possibility of this happening, without simply punishing people who use the mechanics they're given.
Currently there is no effective way to report them.
You can screen shot those and send it to https://support.riotgames.com and have them review it.
Personally, I would just play it out and if they steal the lane, I'll report them after the game.
I never show picking intent until it's my turn to draft anymore. That way if someone dodges I don't have the champ I wanted to play banned next time queue pops, or so my team can't say "Can you play a tanky Top/Support?" immediately after banning my champ.
Since preseason started I have played a lot of top lane, and something I hear a lot is "Can you play a tanky top laner?" Which while sometimes I do so because I am not too worried about winning or losing, I don't always want to play a tank. I have however had people ban Brand in ranked when I was playing support followed by a "We need a tanky support." (Hence the above statement).
cant report them. you can ban whatever you want
i never preselect my champ in ranked.
You would have to stay in the match and persist in your role (just playing a different champion). If they player gives any indication in chat that they banned your champion for nefarious reasons (such as to force you to switch or to dodge) then you have proof in chat and you can report them for it.
you don't
