Intentional Banning of Team Members Champ Picks

Please please please riot fix the champ select where, when you have selected a champ, your fellow teammates cannot also pick them ahead of you without permission nor ban them to piss you off. I have had this happen to me three times with the new champion Kayn.. your games last an hour... three games of playing a champ I do not want equals three hours of abuse by strangers i am forced to play with or receive a dodge penalty if abort... this is ridiculous and must be fixed. Today I took matters in to my own hands and ran down the lane of the team member who did this. We lost but I told him never do it again and that I hoped other players might do the same to him in protest. No one saw how serious of a problem this is and would rather win than acknowledge it and flamed me for my actions. But how might I ask am I supposed to affect someone I can't see otherwise, and furthermore play a team game with someone who would do such, to a complete stranger. I payed him in kind, an eye for an eye. If there was a system in all the modes, not just blind, it would be so easy to fix this. You could then give permission as usual to switch champs if requested after lock in. Hope people will respond.

No. Absolutely not. Such a system would lead to lobby trolling the likes of which you've obviously not contemplated.

If I'm unable to ban a pick that an ally hovers, then people will queue as Support, get into lobby and hover the most OP champion of the patch. They will then use that hover as leverage to get someone to trade them roles. You won't be able to pick that champion away from them either because they hovered it.

You broke the rules because someone else banned a champion?

Leave. Uninstall this game and leave or grow up. There are enough problems with this game without crybabies trolling or intentionally feeding because they didn't get their way.

No, you did not pay him in kind. He looked at you funny and you attacked him and your 3 other teammates.

Something something, 2 wrongs, something something, not right.

But seriously, admitting to intentional feeding on the player behavior boards. You got balls my friend.

This will probably never be changed. The whole reason you need a minimum roster is incase your champion gets picked/banned out from under you, you have other options available.

Report and move on, and for the love of god don't intentionally feed because of it, that will just get you banned in the long run.

No offense but it's been less than 2 weeks since he came out. In addition he is sitting at about a 40-42 percent win rate toplane and 44 percent in the jungle. Please just stick to playing him in normals until he is balanced and you have enough experience with him.

I have yet to be in a ranked game where Kayn won (on my team or the opposing team). I know that's just random statitistics. But I ban him every game now (if it's ranked), regardless of whether or not someone has him picked.
