being bot pre does'nt give you the right to take someone's role even if they called support.

I see this way to often, i call support, after that someone calls pre bot and they just lock in after seeing you called support and seeing you pick a support champion with exhaust.

i just don't get this mentality that being premade gives you the right to steal lanes. i'm currently waiting for a que timer because i had to dodge a game after someone instalocked again. the sad thing is that premade instalockers always get away with it. Yet i lose honor rating and get a que timer for having to dodge that game since you cant play with two support champions in one game.

it feels so bad to take one for the team and dodge yet still getting punished heavily for it just because some other player decided to be an asshole and actually got away with it..

i've had this 3 times already today that someone took my lane as a premade and then force me to go top or mid, both roles that i don't enjoy playing and to be honest don't have alot of champions for. i'm willing to fill these roles as long as everything happens fairly. It's just sad to see. especially because usually these premade supports are absolutely horrible at their role and just pick it to go into a duo lane.

it would be really nice if you could just record in lobby footage and use it to report people who are toxic as hell pre game.

I mean, you didn't have to dodge, you chose to. More than 1 "support" can exist in game. If you mean champion wise, just take them to another lane. Leona can seriously hurt ap or ad, Zyra can still mid, Zilean is a solid mid, and other champs like that do fairly well.

Second thing, as much as I hate to say, role calling is just a courtesy. No one HAS to listen to it. It is the polite thing to do. If you want a better chance of being sup then I agree with the others who said go to draft.

Third, Blind is a great place to experiment things against live opponents. (I believe bots to get gist of abilities and blind to fine tune.) Like I mentioned earlier, support style champs aren't limited to just following an ADC around use Blind to experiment with them elsewhere with different set ups. With his changes, I want to try Taric top again and am trying Cho support.

Finally, off topic, why do kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

first, take a screenshot before you dodge and submit a ticket to Riot. They do actually respond to these things (players have been banned for receiving multiple tickets where they don't respect roles).

Second, try playing draft. Buy 450ip champions if you need to. Support is the fastest role to queue for and it will help them a lot there. You'll get your preferred role pretty much every game (and you can secondary adc or jungle to never need to get mid or top).

The difference in Blind Pick to Draft Pick really is something don't you think?

If you didn't wanna give up support, don't give up support. Make them dodge. Why are you always the one to dodge? Just stay with your pick and say "Sorry already locked" and play support regardless. They will get toxic, you report them, they get punished, you fucked around for 20 minutes (what's the difference really, it's a game) and move on.

I’m voting for an option to be able to either report people who do that as premades or make Riot give us a chance at explaining why did we dodge the match of Blind and see who really needs to get banned or that timer.

But in all seriousness, stay away from Blind unless you have a death wish. Learned that the hard way.
