I pick Sett to start the draft and then my teammate bans Sett and says nothing! This was the second game in a row my own teammates banned the champ i picked. In the second game the guy locked in teemo jungle with heal and ghost as his summoner spells. I wish I could show you the chat but in the end I get punished because this is ranked and I dont want to waste a game with a clear troll!. I told the team I would take the hit and dodged. How can you report people for this when in the end they basically screw me over because now I have to wait X mins instead a taking a clear loss. Please help! Thank you

Anyone can ban any champion for any reason. This is how draft pick works. If you've decided that you can ONLY play the champion you wanted to play before you even went into queue, then please do your teammates a solid and don't play ranked.

Play blind if you want a specific champion. Play draft/ranked if you want to be able to ban champions/have your champion banned. Its literally the design of the game mode. As far as troll picks, Riot would have to implement a defined meta game that forces certain champion/rune combinations. That probably wont happen, but I'd be curious as to what they would allow.

They could also implement a system that doesnt allow you to ban a hovered champ, but then that hover would basically be like you locking in your champ lol. Might as well just have "other team" bans but I have a feeling that would just create a meta of counter bans, where if you ban sett, the other team will also ban sett because they might think youre gonna pick him since you banned them.

OR there could be a system where you just cant ban hovers. But then what if you switch your hover every 2 seconds? Idk how that would work exactly. What if youre last pick and you want kassadin, but im playing anivia mid and cant ban him, but enemy mid picks first and goes kassadin. Id be pretty pissed lol. I dont like that idea.

I think just ban whatever you want is the best way. If it happens often to you, then youre playing a popular champ and thats just something youre gonna have to deal with. Play one of the other 150 champs lol. If you think the bans are malicious, stop hovering your pick and no one can purposely fuck you over.

You could try not maining a character that is pretty much Perma banned on entry into champion select.

Well it wasn't just that he banned Sett. It really had nothing to do with Sett to me to be honest. I just knew it was a troll when he ban my character said nothing then locked in teemo jungle with no smite. I'm not playing a ranked game with a Jung with no smite so that is why I dodged and wished I could report.

And the gatekeeper I've read your posts all your do is play devils advocate and argue so I personally disagree. You make a lot of assumptions assuming I can only play one champ. I will play rank if I want to play rank thank you.
