What the hell is protecting people from being trolled by someone already in their game?

I get it, we have the report system to punish people AFTER. But why is there nothing to help us DURING the game? What's stopping a player from running it down mid or afking because they didn't get their red/blue? Great, this person MIGHT get banned after, but the other 4 ppl just had a shitty time and were literally held hostage for 30 minutes. And then you lose LP if it was ranked.

Can we get a vote kick system or something? Replace them with another player? Work out a system that will function in ranked?

It's stupid. I can report a guy all I want, but the damage was already done and I couldn't do anything to help myself while it was happening.

A vote kick? So it becomes a 4v5? And you diminish the amount of evidence that would result in them being punished? Plus, what's to stop a team from voting to kick someone who isn't trolling/griefing just because they're mad at them for some innocent reason?

Replacing them? You have to have players who a) know that champion b) want to play that champion, and c) are around the same MMR as the player who was kicked. This isn't Overwatch. You don't get to change your team once it's formed. And what if you find someone, but the build is completely different than what they'd do - you're forcing players into losing lanes/games that they aren't going to have fun in.

Maybe the reason a system doesn't exist isn't because it hasn't been considered/thought about. Maybe it's because there's no good solution.

How tf are you going to replace them with another player? That'd be nearly as bad as the troll, because they'd have no idea what the fuck is going on and probably don't play the champion they'd get.
