Banning ally's champion is unnecessary and should be prohibited

In draft or rank, we can ban ally's champion.

At first, I wanna say that is unnecessary. If the player is a troll, banning can't solve the problem. THE TROLL will pick another TROLL and be worse and jump with joy that he made the team nervous.

If the player is not a troll, we can see the game dodged or the banned player must be upset. That's so bad for your wining rate critically. If we fight each other before game, we already lose needless to say.

You can think your ally pick the champion that not suitable for his position, but even if it is so, banning will just drop your winning rate. That's unchangeable.

If he is not a troll, improper pick means he don't have wide range of champion pool, assigned second or unwanted position, is one champion master, or is practicing specific champion with several positions.

In all cases, banning hurt team play and just drop your winning rate.

For one example, you are ADC or SPT user and you can have your preferred SPT or ADC ally, or you can be more skilled and have more knowledge about champion counters.

For another example, there is a TOP user and he assigned SPT position but he can't do any spt champions.

That looks plausible but banning is still not good. If the player is NOT A TROLL, banning restrict his most card so far as circumstances permit, so his next choice will be worse than the first.

Above all things, I wanna say morale and unity are the most factors to win the game.

In fact, banning is not the antithese about the trolling and is trolling itself.

No, I will still ban your pick if you are last pick.

If my ally is last pick and the enemy has first pick i will ban out a power pick/hard counter regardless. It is in my interest to remove the hardest champions i face in a solo Q. Then there are the times when a new/old champion is released/updated. in the first few days i tend to ban them regardless since people do not have the experience required to contribute to a ranked game.

Normal draft, i consider your proposal valid.

There are legit cases where banning your allies champ is needed.

Example, you are your teams last pick and hover a highly contested champion (example Yasuo). Your teammates know it's a risk to let Yasuo through ban-phase and they can't pick it for you for reasons (don't own it, they want to pick their champion etc), so they decide to cut the risk by banning Yasuo so the enemy team can't pick it.

Bans are used to remove a champion from the game. When a player bans a champion in lol, it means he does not want to see that champion in his game, regardless of the team it is on. Banning an ally's champion intentionally is an dick move, but is a correct use of the banning function.

You know, some people think fighting with your team MOTIVATES them to play better. Lol. Anyways, maybe just do that for normies and I wouldnt care.

Whenever Shaco's a popular pick, I don't care if you want to play him, if you're not first pick I'm banning him.
