Ranked Trolls

I just wanted to play some Ranked. I picked my roles, got into a game, and said I wanted Shyvana. The first guy bans Shyvana. I then said that I wanted to be Shen, so they banned Shen. Finally, I told them I was going to go Vi. They said I was trolling, because the person who's role was ADC said he was going jungle. My team ended up with off meta roles (teemo support, no jungle, etc.) as I was stuck with ADC because the actual ADC said he was jungle. As I said, no one have smite, and they told me they were a 4 man pre-made that have been trolling the people they are matched with into leaving the team builder before the game starts. I was left with 10 seconds and 2 choices: Leave the game and get a long wait time or don't leave the game and lose a ranked because of some trolls. Please Riot, can there be a way that you can differentiate the trolls from the people trying to play, but are forced to quit? I am getting tired of being taken advantage of in a game that should have preliminary boundaries for trolling; IE a way to leave the game WITHOUT getting a wait time. Thanks.

Perhaps a slight reduction in wait time can help players forced to dodge b/c of trolls.

Although, in terms of your personal benefit, a decent waiting time can ensure you not running into the trolls again (who won't be waiting and so might have already started a game by then).

It doesn't put a stop to trolling (not sure how you could shut it out completely) but there is some comfort in knowing you aren't forced to lose a substantial amount of LP for dodges after the first.

Trolls in rank have been popping up for the past few days now and its pretty annoying to say the least. One of the funny one was a guy wanted top lane and not jungle so we gave it to him and said no worry im a smurf and I will carry.... lol. He went 0/10 and would not stop crying that Malphite was op and then he admits that hes going to start helping the enemy team win and I was thinking he was already doing that fine from the start.

I was just in a game like this. We in champ select and they decide to make me go support and the first guy autolock garen. Then he goes to ask me if I wanted to play with garen. To make me choose a support and be stuck with it.

Riot praises these players for thinking outside the meta and you will likely be banned or at the least restricted for your idea that winning is important.
