Banning your team's intended picks should be a bannable offense, but there needs to be a warning.

4th lobby in a row where my team banned my intended pick (counting dodges and stuff)

Yes, I am salty because I got demoted and I feel that if I played my favorite champion I could have done things differently.

Riot, please fix this.

If someone bans my intended pick even after an indicator and claim "oh sry didnt see" then they should be punished.

Nope. If it's my ban and I think your pick doesn't work or I think it won't last until you pick, I have the right to ban it.

and that's when they don't care anymore and pick a troll champ. way to trigger ur own team. congrats

I'm not entirely sure most people behave this particular way in response to having their champ banned. I think it's more likely that th epeople who do troll were going to troll in some form anyway. It doesn't really matter. If they weren't going to troll normally, it sounds like they're just super easy to trigger. Something in game will probably not go 100% to their liking, and just like having their champ select banned from them, they have no coping mechanisms and will just troll at that point anyway.

people banning ur intent pick is trolling imo. ive intended a pick and it got banned plenty of times. so I just pick whatever nonmeta champ and play for fun. unless I think its an honest mistake, idc about the game from champ select. that's just me tho.

In my experience, the people I see get their champ intent banned is people wanting a super OP champion at the moment and they're pick is far enough down that the chances of them getting their intent is low anyway since it's likely the other team is going to pick it.

I just avoid it all by banning whatever I don't want to lane against anyway.

yeah, no one gets upset if the other team bans it. but if your champ gets picked by the other team, you should be able to pick another champ that can lane against them. or pick a counter. so I don't understand why people would ban pref'd picks from your own teammates. its really stupid.

May depend on rank. But just have an early drafter pick it then.

If the player trolls due to a champion being banned, they were on a hair-trigger and would probably rage and/or troll at the slightly provocation anyways.

I'd rather learn that in Champion Select (where I have to opportunity to dodge) than when I am stuck in-game with them.

King J3ff2 votes

that's considered bm then. if you see someone wants to play a certain champ, don't ban it. I don't get triggered at all when I play in game. I only get triggered to what people say in champ select and/or if they ban a champ that someone preferred.

Even if I troll pick, I still play the game through. I always say no to FF and play it out.

If they are low on the pick order and want the current FotM OP champion, I'm probably going to ban it unless first-pick agrees to grab it for them.

I'd rather nobody get the champion than have the enemy team first-pick it against us.

hopefully you're never on my team then. lol sorrynotsorry

but even if the other team picks the intended champ, I would just pick another champ to counter them. it's not a hard concept to understand.

Yet you can't seem to understand the concept that there are certain champs I don't want to fall into the other team's hands. Whether YOU counter them is irrelevant. If they're trouble for my champion and the rest of the team they're going bye bye. And as for you on my team same.

King J3ff2 votes

if I can make the other person who picked it irrelevant, it won't matter. and just because you don't know how to play against most champs, or build accordingly, doesn't mean they always need to be banned.

EDIT: you in general, not specifically you.

Nope. If it's my ban and I think your pick doesn't work

If you don't want your teammates playing things you don't agree with, you can start your own ranked team and be the coach.

I believe that there should be a warning, but I have no misgivings about leaving it as is. I've already been trolled at least 20 times to have a OP pick that is just oppressive go through because someone showed intent for, then went 'trollolol fools' and picks someone else.

I'm fine with being able to ban someone's intended pick but I would like one change to the banning system. The people banning should be the first 3 picks and not the last 3. The last 3 already have the advantage of seeing some of the enemy picks to pick around them while the first picks have to show everyone their champion right away with a high chance of being countered. If they had a chance to ban their biggest counter(s) it wouldn't be such a major disadvantage.

"everyone gets a ban" is coming soon I think.

EagleEye0071 votes

It is. Riot has just been cagey on the exact date. Most I've talked to figure it'll come with the first major patch after everyone is forced to the new client to save coding time on the back end.

doesn't matter what champion you play, you'll do has horrible or well no matter the pick or the lane you get sended.

Hyperiön1 votes

Why? People don't want to have certain champs in the game, nothing wrong with that.

Kaioko1 votes

That's not going to work especially when it comes to constantly banned champions like your Rengar.

Horse Grenades1 votes

If there's a champion that I don't want to see, I'm going to ban them.

Yasuo, for example.

DarkPh0enix1 votes

What if the Yasuo player then bans YOUR intended pick?

Horse Grenades1 votes

That's their prerogative. I will pick a new champ.

Hay Yasuo. Did you really think I was going to pick Nunu when you tried that revenge ban?

It is their ban to do with what they want just like it was my ban to do with what I want.

Kanzler1 votes

When I see someone hovering yasuo and i still fully intend to ban him, I simply hover somone else I want to ban, warwick for example. 9/10 that person thinks he is revenge banning my pick, but in reality I just got to have 2 bans.

Oh, didn't realize this was a necro....

Also, may I mention that you should attempt to find several champions that fit your favorite champion's role? Take me for example, I main adc as my role with Draven as my main champ. Yeah, I love the big D. Let teh jokes commence.

But if draven gets banned, picked or whatnot I still have other champions to rely on such as Ashe, Jhin among others. I also have at least 2 champions for the other four roles in the game just in case. So my advice is what I said above. Find more than one champ that fulfills your want and need.

I had first pick, teammate bans my indicated pick, types out lol in chat. Obvious bm, and I've never met this person before. stuff like that should be a reportable offense.
