Hostage in Champ Select

So recently had a guy in ranked who took champ select hostage in a way.

I started really nice with him, he wanted mid from me so I told him "sure". Our toplane had prepicked Talon, but our new mid, who was earlier than top, decided to pick him first. So obviously this drew ire from our top, who simply just dealt with it and moved on. Now our team composition was really terrible though, so the Talon started asking someone to dodge because the enemy team had "a better team and will win". I told him to not worry about it and if he wanted to not play then he should just dodge.

And of course, like any reasonable, nice person would, he says - "Dodge or I'll feed."

Not a single person has been aggravating or salty to him for the duration of champ select, then this asshole decides to give up before the game even starts, after I had just let him go his preferred lane and a rightfully angry top didn't aggravate the situation much at all.

So lo and behold I simply decide, 'Whats a few LP and 5 mins of my time?" and dodge.

Open letter to that kid, I hope you rot and drop down the ranked ladder in an uncontrollable freefall and then get decide to never play this game again.

Tbh, that usually irks me so much that I stay in game just to report them.

Pre-game lobbies are included in reports now, so you can be sure they'll catch it. I respect your decision to dodge, just an fyi.
