Player Banned Out My Hover On Purpose, Reportable?

I hovered my character. They banned the character and said they didn't want that trash in their game. Is this reportable? I get to play a whole game with this guy (and his duo friend who chimed in that I'm silver trash) on a character I did not want to play.

And no, I'm not dodging because that just punishes me.

No, people can ban whoever they want.

If people are not allowed to ban pick intents, then you wouldn't be able to ban pick intents.

yes that's unsportsmanlike conduct and harassment.

Whenever that happens I just pick whoever they're hovering, no matter my role. If they aren't hovering I just take over their role.

As mentioned already yes it's classed as unsportsmanlike conduct. If they do it enough and get reported for it enough they will be punished from what Lyte said before he left.

It's not punishable but it certainly is a rude move to do. They may have had other reasons to ban your pick (e.g., you may have been picking later, it's a highly contested pick, etc.). But it's still frustrating to have it happen, especially if they fail to communicate why they banned the pick.

its not reportable if they just do "I don't trust you on a champion that is maybe too hard for us"

However it is reportable if he tells you "fuck you you are shit at this game I checked your match history kys" (yes that happen to me once)

While it may count as harassment and unsportsmanlike conduct, it's going to be very hard to prove valid because of how much room there is for the other side to argue. For example, they could say " yes my teammate intends to play that champ, but I'm afraid the other team might want that champ as well because of how broken it is, hence I'd rather see it banned instead of risking the chance of dealing with it."

rip fellow victim of trolls. May you find peace in your grand quest of finding buddies to form premade with.

What character was it? Which pick position were you out of your team?
