A Report for Banning Own Team Member's Champion/Role Stealing in Champ Select - Draft Pick

When a player doesn't want to play the position they are assigned. I personally have played multiple games where a champion refuses to play the position they are given and will then ban the Champion of their teammate on purpose in an attempt to steal their position. I wish there was a Report option for this at the end of games. It happens way too often. Another solution: Don't allow a fellow teammate to ban a champion already selected by another teammate in Champion Select. (Grey out their teammates' champions when it's their turn to ban.) Also, a Role Stealing Ban would be great.

There is no option for it per se. But if you put it under griefing and explain the situation it will be valid. They might not get a harsh punishment for it but they will be on riots radar.

Its actually good idea but there is one problem :

if my 5th pick wants to play camille sry but im banning his champ , its not because i want to troll him , its because this pick is super strong right now. I dont do it without telling him this , i ask 1st pick to swap with him but if he does not own this champ sry but i wont let it past ban phase because "i just want to play camille " is not a good argument.

Also , as you mentioned it as just report option , it would have little to no impact , look at toxicity, its punishable yet still i get flamers in literally every game. People that had their position stolen would still be forced to play the role that the thief had for 40 minutes. Also it will be hard to prove whether someone swapped with you or stole your position.

Dont get me wrong i think this case needs to be there but it needs further discussion on this topic , maybe implement voting in champ select to "kick " troll out of lobby ( and fill someone who wants this role instantly ) or maybe someone has some other ideas.

As Srb said, you can report someone for this under the griefing category. I've gotten in the habit of not even declaring an intended champion to play lately. That way, no one can ban my champion, accidentally or on purpose, but I honestly don't encounter this often at all.
