banning someone's pick intent is not, and will not be punishable
It is not common, and I'm surprised by the conclusion that those players are simply toxic/trolling. In my ranked game experience, 90% of time teammates do want to win. I understand your frustration of intended pick getting banned, but there could be a reason why your planned pick gets banned frequently.
Intended picks serve as a way to communicate, and there are people who truly feel the pain to have certain champion on their team, or played by certain players. One time I checked my teammates' status and the top laner decided to go Garen with 14% winrate with 30+ games. I dodged, but I can understand those who decided to ban Garen for a win.
Meanwhile, I believe players who ban teammates' intended picks are not trolling. They simply don't want that champion on their team. They want to secure a win and/or have good game experience. It is not pleasant to have a support planning to play Tryndamere.
Respect is mutual: when I expect my teammates to respect me by showing my intended pick, I am also respecting their decisions. Have you tried to communicate with them when showing an intended pick which a lot of players won't like?
With a more positive attitude you will (hopefully) move onto a rank where even the most exotic picks won't surprise your teammates.
If moving around the rank ladder was not an option, I would suggest you not show your intended pick and see if anything changes. After all, most players play ranked games seriously--starting form a decent rank.

Could do it two ways. If someone bans a champion that someone had picked before P&B, it auto registers this. Then punishes them accordingly if the game launches. Some people may accidentally do this. In which case, they just need to dodge and the game won't register this offence.
Another method would be manual control. Once someone bans a champion their teammate picked. They could manually click the button to register the offence or choose not to in case they are a premade/friends. Or forgive it on grounds of a valid reason.
Honestly, the ideal way to avoid this from happening is not to show your pick at all. Or just show a pick that you'd like banned. If they are trolling, they'd end up banning a champion you didn't want in the game. And, you get an additional ban!
I do not think it is mean or should be punished if for example you play support and your adc does not want to play with ashe support or teemo support and bans your intended pick. People want to win in ranked and fear trolls or weak champs the most. You might also want to think from their perspective a bit, like what people have experienced. From my experience and in my elo I can say that a lot of veigar supports seem to stay back in lane and want to ks with their ult, so I tend to not like veigar supports. Another point of view would be the current meta. People tend to be meta slaves for a reason, because it is meta! Exotic picks are called exotic because they are rarely/never picked and do not fit most of the time. Also if people try out new champs in ranked and tell their team in champ select it might also be banned. In the end it comes down to how confident and comfortable that person is with a comp/pick. Anyway you can be sure, that people want to win in ranked and do their utmost for a win.
