BANNING PRESELECTED CHAMPS IN CHAMP SELECT

Hello fellow summoners.

Have you ever had your pre-picked champion intentionally banned by "teammates" during your ranked games? So far, I have seen it done for several reasons:

  1. you picked a champion they don't believe works in that lane
  2. you picked a champion that they want to pick, and if you don't give it to them, they WILL BAN IT.
  3. you picked a "noob" champion
  4. you picked Teemo
  5. to simply grieve you, usually accompanied by words such as "lel git salty" or "oh sh*t didn't see it LOL"
  6. you picked an AP support champion, and they want you to play tank support (you pick another AP champion, as a thank you note)
  7. Because you didn't swap lanes with them.

I think RIOT needs to disable this option completely. Some people do not pre-pick, and they have no right to complain - the option to pre-pick is there, and if your teammates are normal human beings (which in bronze or silver isn't a case too often), you should be able to pick your champion.

THIS IS NOT TO STOP ENEMY TEAMS FROM BANNING YOUR CHAMPION, BUT TO PREVENT GRIEFING AND NEGATIVITY FROM THE CHAMPION SELECT ITSELF.

The only problem i have with this is that if something like this was to be implemented then trolling will just be "holding" a champion so that the enemy team can pick it especially if the enemy team will be first pick. You can basically ensure the enemy team will get that pick if holding a champion basically frees is from banning. How would you stop that when it becomes a problem like the problem we have now?

I mean ive never had something like this happen to me, and if it does i would just stop using Pick intent all together till the banning phase is over.

I'd ban Teemo if you picked him on our team.

This really doesn't happen all that often but when it does, it does suck.

Generally though, people don't usually ban your pre-selected champ but when they do, it's usually an accident (especially if its a really popular pick).

I always bann Teemo when the ADC or toplaner wants to play him. ( in ranked only though )

That's why I don't choose to show who I want to play most of the time.
