Is your teammate banning the champ you highlighted in champ select reportable?

When you know they did it on purpose is that something you would report them for? What would report them under? I feel like personally if they did it just to spite you or ruin your experience I would report them, but I would be interested to hear other people's feedback.

no. you can bann what you want. i mean if your teammate bans your champ really on purpose because he doesnt like you, this is most likely a lost game because there wont be much teamplay, but still he can ban whoever he wants for whatever reason :/

Rule #1 of The Summoner's Code: Support Your Team

Being a good team player begins at champion select. Be open minded when considering the needs of your team.

Champ select isn't immune of sportsmanlike conduct. If you're going to be an asshole, you're going to get reported.

@OP: My suggestion is to just not use pick intent. It's what I've resorted to, and it's working great.

riot already confirmed that it is not sportsmanlike but you cant get punished for banning the champ someone wants to pick.

That's more because it doesn't happen enough to warrant a punishment than it not being against the rules. If someone got reported for it 30 games in a row, yes, they'd receive a punishment. It's just rare for anyone to get reported enough to be punished at all, especially with something like this that would need a Rioter to read the reports to verify them.

Care to show some evidence for that statement?

Because no, its not punishable, even if you do it 100 times. Your picks and bans are 100% YOUR decision. You don't have to explain them, you don't have to justify them, to no one.

I can see perfectly legit reasons to ban someone's intent, and I have done it myself. Example: I'm fourth pick, fifth pick has selected [OP champ of the day] as pick intent. I feel the risk that the other team will select [OPCOTD] before player five is too great, so I ban [OPCOTD].

That said, it can also be used to be an asshole. So as always, it's not clear cut.

Of course they do it on purpose. Noone just "accidentially" bans a champ.

And no, its NOT reportable (you can click the button, but nothing will happen). What a player bans, and why, is entirely his decision.
