I just had a game where I was in lobby with a guy that intentionally banned a otp lux players lux. He dodged. Next game we got in the same lobby, he bans our adcs kalista on purpose. Last 10 games he have lost 9/10 games with smite ghost jg. Since I dodged the second lobby I can't report him at the end screen so how do I report him now? What can I do?

You don't. Generally to avoid such a thing you wait a few minutes after someone dodges so you can be fairly sure you don't see that person again.

Riot support. They have a "report a player" category there that is the equivalent of post-game reports.

Okay so that work? I've heard that it's pointless to report players in support tickets, because they say that the report system should take care of those requests. I hope you are right tho :)

If you didn't or forgot or were unable to report someone, they will "manually report" them and the system will review it as if you had reported in client.

You can always report someone on the league of legends website. you just fill out a form. You can put in more description in the text box aswell I think.

You can always try sending a report ticket. I'm not sure if intentionally banning someone that another player intended to play is against the rules as you can easily say you weren't paying attention or had to do something last minute and then came back and quickly banned without seeing someone else intend to pick x champ. So it's a bit of a touchy subject similar to feeders how you can't always tell if they intended to feed or not. But one thing I tend to do personally is never show which champ I intend to play because I know the potential of a troll teammate who will intentionally ban my intended champ. Usually happens to me especially because if I get a role of adc and I intend to pick nidalee, since it's unusual to have nidalee as adc, people on my team will intentionally ban nidalee so I can't use nid as adc. Or say someone doesn't like taric support and I wanted to play taric support, so my adc intentionally bans taric. That's why I just never show my intended champ. But then this is irrelevant considering I don't really ever play draft or ranked anymore.

Yes, that's usually the case. This guy tho first banned a OTP lux (his name had OTP lux in it's name) who said in chat, don't ban my lux pls. Sec later he bans lux. Well, as you said, it is still possible it was an accident. Well, someone dodges and we get in lobby again. This time adc is hovering kalista (I think she is the only one hovering a champ). Kalista is pretty much never played and therefore no one usually bans her. Well, guess what. This guy bans kalista of all the champs he could've banned and somehow it's also the rare game a kalista is on my team. It's pretty obvious now this isn't an accident. I think even the support can't deny this isn't an accident.

Also, if you look at his profile he had lost most of his recent games with predator and smite/ghost on every jg game he played. I think that a ban for trolling and griefing would be preatty easy to hand out here.

Yea, I usually don't show my off-meta picks when I play it for the same reason. In this case it was teammates that were getting targeted and even if it didn't affect me I didn't want this guy to get away with it. Judging by his games he likely got a lot of reports anyway.

If you want to talk about what I personally think, then yes the guy definitely was trolling. But that alone is not enough proof since riot has nothing to check champ select bans with players intentionally banning other intent champs. That's not something established as reportable yet. That guy can always argue that he didnt do it on purpose even if he actually did. Trolls can int and say "mb" or "oops" in game and die 4 times before 5 minutes of the game and they will not get in trouble as 4 deaths is not something to be banned about, yet it can cause a huge set back for your team with someone dying 4 times to the enemy. Even if what you said is true, there's no way riot can see that actually happening. I doubt that anyone from riot is going to go look at that guy's past champ select actions and watch him intentionally ban intended champs that his teammate picked, if that's even possible for them to go back and watch. Your best bet is to say what you told me to riot in a support ticket, explain the situation with the same amount of detail you've just said, and see what they will do. Most likely they won't do anything about it, but what do you have to lose? Where there's a will, there's a way.

Thx, for the replies :) , it was more of a "that should be enough evidence even for riot" to get someone banned. I feel like it should be reportable if you are obviously banning peoples champs (a OTP lux that wrote in chat not to ban it and next a lobby with a kalista, the only one who was hovering and she is never banned and he bans it again), forcing people dodge justt because you want them too. I agree it might be hard to get a ban for it, like I guess if he banned a yasuo because he doesn't like having yasuo inting on his team, that would be enough of a reason. I might not really like that attitude, but if it's straight up trolling as in this case it should be bannable tho somehow.

Maybe riot can't see the game lobby tho, no idea how it works tbh!

In this case, I think it should be enough evidence for riot supp too anyway. I was gonna report him, but since for reasons you named, I thought it might not be highly prioritized and thought I would report it later when I got more time anyway. Guess I forgot to save the page with the players name, lol... But judging by his matchistory I hope it's likely he will get reported and banned sooner or later.

I dont like Lux or Kalista players on my team. Not because they arent strong those charactrers are broken. But the players playing them regularly dont Play them well enough to take advantage of their kits they usually throw out 1 spell and run which is really annoying doubly so when you play a role forced to commit to dps quad when you in a commit role and you playing a melee front liner. and the lux player will save their shield for themselves or adc instead of the front liner (which they can still hit the adc and it isnt on a long cooldown for a shield anyway coupled with mages have easiest access to cdr and ap to scale their spells.
