Banning Your Champ in Champ Select

Just can riot add a "banned my champ in champ select option" into the report section when someone intentionally bans your champion so that they get autobanned? It's not happened to me that often, but when I want to play something slightly off-meta like Rengar Top and tell someone that I have a 75% WR on him, I don't like having to autododge to avoid them or face an almost free loss because they're griefing.

I humbly submit that banning a teammate’s champ is done for malice rather than strategy more often than not, but it’s not considered to be against the rules.

The problem with it is establishing the intent behind the champ ban. Was it an accident? Do they just despise the champ? Did they do it to grief? Does it suck when they ban your intenr? Yes. If not malicious it is not against the rules.

People are allowed to ban whatever they want for any reason they want. Bans trump picks because they have to for the system to work.

This sounds like an awful idea.

If you really hate it go back to playing blind

It is treated differently because one is done in game and one is done outside of the actual game and is still fair. Your whole team can troll ban all 5 of your team pick intents, pick 5 completely different champs and still ROFL stomp the enemy team and win. If your team starts trolling and feeding you're actively giving away the agency to win over to the other team. Whereas banning someone's pick intent equally affects the other team by taking a champion off the table even if your team wanted to play it. Outside of banning the first pick theres not much argument to banning any champ as shitty as it might feel.

If you're really gonna be so attached to champ where you feel you can't play anything else just dodge and take the 3lp or learn to actually play the game outside of one champion otherwise you're not ready to play ranked.
