What should you do if your teammate screws you over in the picking phase?

So I just played with a pyke who told me he would swap with me. I asked what champion he wanted, and while waiting for a response I changed my runes to what I would use on pyke. I don't get a response before my timer reaches 0, so I pick jarvan (he's the only one that I own that I know is a jungler) and tell him that since he didn't respond he gets this champion. I press swap and... He doesn't swap. Instead he just puts a smileyface in the chat. The picking phase is over, I have bad runes for my champion and I have to support with Jarvan (I was assigned this).

What should I do in this situation?

If they dont tell you what they want, dont pick for them.

Don't do "swap" . and you have 30 sec to swap your runes. Jav 4 can be a good support and you assume your teammates can use Jav4???. By the way, if you are not owning many champions, don't DO SWAP. Learn a lesson

Did you ever stop and think that he might not have j4? Because you can't swap what you don't own. This one is on you, brah.

Yeah but if he "clicked swap" the button only shows up if a trade is possible, so he did own J4.

Max E and be a atkdspeed booster for your marksmen friend. Then max W and just shred armor for your team with your Q while building black cleaver into full tank.

What is a marksman

Not really sure.

I think they are an extinct species that died out a month ago.

Dodge cause I have 3 other accounts I could be playing on anyways,but seriously I don't involve myself in trades unless it's my friend/duo cause of trolls like that.
