Riot needs to do more to stop toxic behavior

Venting a little here but just saying, the game has gotten so toxic that I believe Riot needs to step in and actually create systems beyond the banning system to address this. Recently, I've liked to play Lux support. It works and is fun for me no matter what your opinion is on her being a support. See the main goal of me wanting to have fun as it is a game. When I hover in champ select I have had several people already ban her and there's nothing I can do about it. No reporting works, I'm instantly annoyed after a long day just wanting to play a champ because I find her fun, and the whole team get affected by my slight tiltedness. Could Riot make it so that if you are hovering a champ that it cannot be banned or something?

I've been playing this game since basically the beginning of it. I'm about to stop due to not being able to enjoy it anymore due to the community being so toxic and being giving banning power over a champ I want to play that allows my fellow teammates to screw me over. It's not like I am playing a ridiculously off meta support or anything either. Just an opinion and feel free to disagree but I feel as if it would help.

there is already a confirmation message when trying to ban a hovered champion

this would be extremely damaging to the game if hovering meant locking

i remember people banning hovers in season 3 and 4 dunno how you find this a new occurrence

Two threads with the same thing today.

My dude, I know it's not an answer you'll like, but this is the point of draft pick. Bans come before picks. Bans will always come before picks or it's not draft pick. Stop hovering your champion.

Like I said in the other thread, you're probably just unlucky.

I'm level 61, I've played a lot in the past two months since I started LoL, and never had anyone banned a champ I was hovering.

Ya youre picking a champ that many people dont like as a support, so your best bet would be to stop hovering it. I dont see lux banned that often, so youll probably be better off not hovering. Lux support is unexpectedly controversial as a support. I play anivia support and hover it, and I've never had it banned on me lol.

there are hundreds of alternative solutions to this ,there are champions like brand,morgana who are quitly same funny to play , once you master them you will never feel like you should play only lux... , keep in mind that for mage supports champions the skill mathers a lot because the normal support no need that much skill to shield and heal his ally ,but when you play mage heroes your adc relay on your damage , on you catching enemy at the right moment and on your pokes and good positioning so you don't die and can poke as much enemy.

I perma-ban Lux when I'm playing support (unless I plan on playing her myself), and I've accidentally banned her when our jg wanted to go Lux - it was an honest mistake as I did it on auto-pilot, but sort of glad I screwed up though tbh. Got lucky :)
