@RIOT So when are you going to crack down on champion select trolls?
Just had a ranked game where our jungler hovered Zed. One of the players in the queue asked if he wanted mid and his response was "no, I main zed jungle." I checked him match history on op.gg and found out he had never played a ranked game on Zed, let alone a game of Zed jungle.
The enemy team picks Zed before he has a chance to so he switches his hover to Teemo jungle. 2 seconds before he needs to lock in switches to Urgot and locks in Urgot jungle. I checked his account and he's never played Teemo or Urgot jungle before. Keep in mind this is in a ranked game.
The rest of us talk about who is going to dodge and ultimately I take the bullet and dodge. Now I'm stuck with the 5 minute wait time and -3 LP and this troll is allowed to go on an troll another game. I submitted a support ticket but I doubt anything will come of it except an automated response from Riot telling me to use the in-client reporting system when possible.
Honestly, when is Riot going to address the issue of trolling in champion select in ranked? This includes but is not limited to:
- Playing a very off-meta champion that you've never played before in ranked in a role they normally don't play (i.e. Zed or Urgot jungle.)
- Banning away the champion someone hovers (especially if that person is first pick so there's no chance of counter pick.)
- Queuing up for a less desired role (like support) and then telling people that you are going a different role (like mid) "no matter what."
Feel free to add any more ways you've seen people troll in champ select.
