Is banning peoples hovered champions Reportable?
Because it shouldn't be, it's called banning phase, and is the place where you ban the stuff you don't want to see in your game. Regardless of if someone else may want it.

I've had it happen to me and have done it to others. It's why I never declare what I'm playing. When you do this to a teammate don't be surprised when they play poorly, and don't blame them either. You banned their champ, so they'll be playing something they weren't as prepared for, and they'll likely be upset.
Now you might make the argument "well they should be able to play more than one champion," and you're right. However, you also need to acknowledge that your choice was less than sportsmanlike and may have consequences.
Optimally you could ask for their input first, and get them to decide on a different champion in their own.
So afraid of your teammate feeding on a champ that you are willing to provoke them into trolling or have them feed on another champ they might not know. 50% change they'll feed is better than 100% chance. Yeah it is called "Banning phase". It's a term. "Trolling", "Griefing", "Provoking", "Unsportsmanlike behaviour" are also terms. I don't really want teammates in my team that troll their teammates from champ select. Don't know what kind of synergy or atmosphere is to be expected in such game.
You can report but no, it's not a punishable offense
You have the right to ban whoever you wish. I do not believe in the "but if they are only good at" excuse people try to use. If they are only good at 1 character in the position they are in, then what happens if the enemy ends up banning it? It is an unviable and unproductive excuse. There are X many different champions, just pick another.

its not, unless the sole intent is just to troll a teammate. but its hard to prove intent unless its said in chat.
Should depend. A champ is super op during a patch, and you want it as pick 5? Pick 1 would grab you it but you don't own their champ. Pick two and 3 won't help and pick four doesn't own the champ. Yes, I'm banning it because I believe the enemy will get the champ first. Discussing it first though.
only punishable is the intent is trolling
reportable? sure, everything is
punishable? likely not
As long is it’s just for bans and not part of a list of behavior issues i.e. u banned their champ then intentionally fed. So alone it’s nothing but it can be part of a list against a troll.
No. The only time it was ever punished was for pro players and it was mostly for impersonating another player's IGN rather than banning their one tricks.
I bet you could go 100 games in a row banning a hovered pick and never be punished for it. It is still a dumb idea to intentionally poke the bear when they may or may not be aggressive though.
Nope riots stance is everyone is entitled to ban whoever they want.
No
