How Do You Deal With Games Like This?

How do you deal with games like this?: Another player on my team bans my main 80% sure on PURPOSE (I'm a Taliyah main at low ELO) and replies "whoops sorry." I am forced to play Ahri, a champion I haven't played in months into a Lux main. I start completely losing my lane, racking up deaths left and right. However, I somehow manage to stay ahead on XP as the rest of my team. We are completely losing the game, and as soon as I can, I call for surrender, but nobody surrenders, even the subsequent two times, one of which while they are literally taking the nexus. (Bonus points for me: I didn't flame them)

Folks refuse to surrender for any number of reasons, many of them bad. But shit, that's their right. I've won games after a failed 3/2 surrender vote with an open Nexus, and I'm sure you have, too.

Friendly bans are shitty, but they're allowed. Current Riot policy is that bans have higher priority than picks. It leads to some trolling, which may have been what you encountered, but it'll happen. When possible, have strong backup picks ready.

Beyond that... it's good you didn't flame your team. Don't dwell on the loss. Take a break if you need one.

Hello,

Did you even read your post? You are telling me you can only play your one champ? Maybe go practice some others?....
