Draft Pick "Pick Order"

So I've had this happen to me about 3 times this week. If you don't get it, I got into a draft queue and I get my role, but someone else above me in pick order decides that they don't want to go with their given role (Green bar). (White Bar) is someone who agrees who might be a duo, either way agrees with his sentiments. Typically I'd say yes, but when it's someone who forces me out of my role when they could have put a second preferred role instead of pulling this kind of stunt instead of asking and accepting fate if they don't get their role, it become just absolutely disgraceful. Especially since it's more than likely two people who are in on it who will, when in game, support each other regardless of what others say. This is starting to really affect my account, because I keep dodging so that I don't have to deal with these kinds of people.

I love this game and I know I'm not the best player, but this is just unacceptable. I am no genius, but this does not look fair for anyone. If this happens, what should I do, and what can Riot do? I know that there's only so much they can do, so what can we as a community do too? Thoughts, comments?

Report them....stealing a persons role is punishable.

If a person agrees to swap well that is fine and dandy......Forcing a player out of their role is punishable.........

I agree this is a problem, and it needs to be strictly enforced, before since like S1 there was no role system players argued (Riot Gave the tools) to prevent arguments, and give players the choice of getting any 2 roles they want, now players have the nerve to troll, and role steal.

. It doesn't matter if a player goes Soraka Mid, LuLu Mid, or anything off meta, doesn't give the right to troll (and needs to be strictly enforced.)

. This is a huger problem when someone on the team such as myself awhile ago was playing something off meta that has a really hard time to deal with a troll doing this, and I ended up doing god awful because of it but TL:DR needs to be punish worthy with at least a (Warning) first time pop-up box then a suspension after if keep trolling.

. A role-swap system could be implemented into a game to make things official when a player wants to swap with someone else similar to ARAM.

Also summoner spells don't make example, some mid lane players choose to take Exhaust, or Smite doens't matter if a player choose to do this as long as they are playing the role chosen during the lane phase of the game, there are good reasons for a mid laner to take smite and personally I think it can make more sense in the tactic of being able to roam contest objectives, and get the enemy jungler behind than on a Top Lane, although with a Top lane it does offer some smiting advantages too.
