What do you do when teammate bans your pick intent?

Was hovering Teemo because I wanted to show my team what I'm playing. Teemo has a unique playstyle so maybe someone could pick something that would synergize but instead my team banned it. What should my behavior be like when my team bans me out? Right now I'm pretty pissed off.

go ahead and troll.

they took your pick, you take their elo, easy as that.

Step 1: Figure out WHY they banned it.

If they're deliberately fucking with you, dodge. Life is too short to knowingly play with trolls.

If they made a mistake, get over it and play another champ for your role. Mistakes happen, especially when you play champs that often get auto-banned like Yasuo. People are so used to banning it every game that they forget to check if their teammates are hovering it. They messed up, but you have nothing to gain by punishing them for a mistake.

If they simply think your pick is bad for the team... Tough call. Teemo is in an awkward place right now, since he's not a great team fight champion and doesn't have much utility beyond dueling somebody in lane or annoying the crap out of people. I'm certainly not thrilled when my teammate picks Teemo. Your teammates should still respect your desire to play him, but it's up to you to decide an appropriate reaction.

But trolling, counter-banning, or int feeding are simply not good responses. You're screwing yourself over just to get back at your teammates. Either suck it up, or dodge. There aren't any better options.

Ban or pick one of their champs.

Pick somebody else.

I have learned multiple champions per role I play, so I have plenty of options to fall back on.

Where you at Riot?

7/12 replies are people suggesting negative behavior before a game even starts.

Just lose on purpose. But don't do it in a way that will get you punished.

So basically just mute them so you don't "flame" and then split push.

If ranked, pick someone else - while I agree that people should be able to pick and play who they want; your mindset should not be "my teammates should make their picks around mine and my champs play style"

Suck it up

Dodge

By all means be mad because honestly banning someones pick is extremely fucking rude especially if they dont even give a reason.

pick something else.

I've accidently banned my teams champions before. Teammates have banned me. It happens.

I would ban teemo if my teammate should him as their pick. Main reason usually its not a good fit for team to have a teemo- utility very low. 2. Usually teemo players are playing him to just troll their own teammates cause they had a bad game prior and decide... its time to have fun and screw everyone day over.

Don't show your pick intent.

Dodge or report the troll after the game. That's about all you can do.

i ask them why they do it , if they actually banned it by mistake and did not see it im ok with that , but if they start flaming i just dont care about the game and play smth fun to make plays not to win. ( dont mistake it with inting i dont pick disco nunu , i just dont pick free win syndra mid but i pick azir which is more fun to play but less likely to win )

If a "teammate" bans my intended pick, I'll pick something the general public would construe as worse like Urgot or Mordekaiser. I will also ban someone else's pick intention (if possible), prompting a more widespread understanding that your team has problems.

Makes your "teammate" feel real smart, and let's face facts, you probably aren't winning with that "teammate" anyway.
