I've had enough of people banning your champs in champion select. Why is it even allowed?

Over the course of my last year of playing this game, I've had people constantly banning Yasuo even when I hadn't done anything wrong. I'M FREAKING HONOR 5, I almost never flame, and I play my own goddamn game. I submitted a ticket to riot player report and all they had to say was o sorry we can't do anything about the dodges you've made for your team against a troll or whatnot. I even saw it happen to another player and all I could do was watch him suffer, these players don't even apologize in any situation (unless they've truly made a mistake). Why do we not have a kick system so that players can vote to kick the troll in champion select. This would lower the chances of trolls affecting games by a large amount. Look I don't mind if you think Yasuo is broken or OP, but if you think banning your own teammate out is going to win you the game then clearly you're not mature enough to play the game. There needs to be something done, or at least riot needs to listen to pleads with hard evidence. Thanks, Botlinebling

Because at some point you have to decide between "everyone gets to ban whatever champion they want" and "everyone gets to play whatever champion they want."

Since there are other games where you can play anything you want (blind pick), Riot has chosen to allow players to avoid situations they find personally frustrating or characters they have no fun playing against/with. Both options have downsides and trolling potential, and they had to choose one side to favor.

My own personal feelings on the matter may be very unpopular but...

I think anyone's desire to play a specific champion shouldn't outweigh my right to ban whichever champion I want. You can take into account any number of factors: how new a champ is, how broken and toxic to the meta a champ might be, not wanting that champion picked by the enemy before my team has a chance to pick it, genuinely not wanting that champion on my team, the fact that people should take into account the picks and bans ahead of them before blindly deciding which champion they're going to play regardless of how the team comp turns out...

Everyone gets one ban. Period. There should never be restrictions on what you can or can't ban.

And if you're super concerned about getting to play a very specific champ in your next game, and that champ happens to have an especially high pick/ban rate, you're probably better off in blind pick anyway.

You’re a dick if you ban a teammate’s champion

Sorry riots stance is everyone has a right to ban whatever they want.
