So, the other day, I banned Quin, and the ADC gets all butthurt and bans my toplane.. Well the problem is that He never showed quin, and the whole time after he banned my champ in select screen all he does is "HAHAHHAJJAJAJAJAJAJ XD XD HAHAJAJAJA" - So I end up loosing lane, I intended to play AP Shaco top, because there was a Rengar top.. He jumps into my boxes, and dies, woulda been great. Instead i just get shit on all game cause the champ i ended up picking, I wasnt as fimilar with. So... when someone bans the champ you're showing you wanna play.. is that reportable..?

Easy counter example: New Champ OR Reworked champ. Players wants to play said champ in ranked with minimal knowledge of how to play them. Your team bans said champ to make sure your ally does NOT play a champ they do not know.

Happens a lot and is annoying.

Why pick a champion you're unfamiliar with if you wanted to win? If the goal was to learn another champion I understand completely, but at the same time you have to understand that you'll probably lose way more when you're learning vs when you've mastered something.

That is considered to be greifing, but I think its riot`s fault for making intent claiming so sketchy, not only is there little warning, symbol over claimed champ is small but if someone dodges and teams are scrambled, someone who was originally on your team is gonna ban your main atleast it happened to me before and it discouraged me from claiming intent

which should be considered abuse of the system if its not a generic must play champ at the time.

Wow that is just mean.. Id understand if people ban champs like Zed, Yas, recently reworked or new champs even if someone indicates that he wants to play them. But in your case I think he just banned Shaco to tilt you. Tbh I dont like Shacos on my team, but if you want to play him, I wouldnt ban him because I prefer you playing a champ you are familiar with and not try a new champ. On the other hand I always ban Yasuo even if my teammate indicate to play him because on my team he is always first time while if picked on the other team it is a Challenger semi god Yasuo. I bet many of you can relate.

See but how do you see their intentions? Especially if they do not say anything in chat would you ban them for simply forgetting? Or banning them because you want a popular champion but are last pick? It would be obvious that you aren't going to get said champion and it would be better to ban it than having the risk of the enemy team getting the champion!

Hey I know.... Learn a 2nd champ for your position.

Wow that's complicated.

BTW who bans Quin? Talk about a wasted ban.
