Purposely banning your own teams champ picks

There needs to be one if not all feature added to get around this extremely annoying instance of people on your own team banning the champ you have picked. There may be some valid reason for a person banning a particular champ regardless of what other team member want, but it punishes those team member that want to play it. There needs to be a way around of this unintentional yet exceedingly frustrating occurrence.

One way would be to allow people to report, from champ select, when someone does in fact do this. Fairly simple and, if i remember correctly, prevents the two players from being able to be grouped with each other after the match which would also prevent that from happening again.

The other way would to allow for the person who's champ is banned to be allowed to drop from the lobby without incurring a dodge queue timer. Some people really are playing the game, when they can, to play a specific champ. You could say the samething about a specific role but that is a different discussion. If given limited time to play the game, a 6min queue timer can be the difference of someone being able to play and not being able to play.

I am speaking on a point of view of normal games btw, not ranked where, with the increase of competition being the main point of ranked, I don't think this argument would have any validity.

I don't want to be reported if someone just happens to hover the champ that I ban in 100% of my games.

Every game, I ban this champ unless I personally am playing it. It's not right to punish people who always ban a champ no matter who hovers it.

It's not against them on hovering it. But I shouldn't be punished for not wanting that champ in my game. That's why I don't like this idea.

Things I do not want on my team:

Yasuo LeeSin Vayne Kayn Riven

If I see any of these champs in my allies OP.GG they're getting banned. Mechanically intensive champions that typically invite the most toxic players who lack the skill to utilize them. The result is them losing and blaming everyone else for why they suck. I'd rather ban them out and they dodge/pick some meta-sheep ez to play back up champ than deal with the feeding Yasuo flashing his mastery 7 badge as he dies for the 7th time in 10 minutes.

I hate when my team bans Teemo on me when I get autofilled top and that's one of the only things I play top, just because they see it as a "troll" pick or simply just dislike the champion

There is a functional workaround to not getting your declared champion banned: Don't declare a champion. That way, people who troll-ban their teammates cannot do so with your choice.

when they ask you not to ban champ B and have selected champ A its like idc what you say if i want to ban this champs and i came into lobby with the intention of not dealing with champ B you can play the one you have selected.

We should try to ask riot for a solution, here's my solution;Your team can't ban your declared champion,but the enemy team can(because they don't see who you picked).

OP, you can't report for someone banning your pick, regardless of how you like it or not. Everyone is given a ban, to ban WHO THEY PLEASE.

If they don't want to deal with X champ, they can ban it, thats it.

I myself can't stand Zed,Ornn,Urgot,Orianna. So I always ban one of them, generally Urgot gets banned before I pick and Ornn sometimes as well so I usually ban Zed or Ori. I don't have fun with them in my games. I don't care if someone wants to play them. I don't want them in my game, so they won't be.

If you are butthurt about your pick being banned, play Blind Pick. If my champ gets banned, I just say crap, and pick another since other than garbage players that have no right to make opinions should have more than 1 champ to choose from.
