Champ Select Trolling

I've been playing this game since Season 2, and this never used to happen in the old draft pick system OR in team builder.

In the current draft system, players can select their role before the game starts, and then when the champ select begins, players can declare their pick intent. I main Kled Kled , and have over 500 games with him since his debut. Although I primarily play him Top, sometimes I will take him Mid or even Bottom.

To often than not, when I've selected Mid or Bottom, and the my pick intent as Kled, someone on my team decides to either:

  1. Ban Kled altogether, so I can't play him (after asking me if I plan on taking him in the roles I was given)
  2. Take Kled from me regardless of their role just so that I can't play it.
  3. Insult me with self righteous comments like "Stupid Silver Logic..." (even though I'm in Gold)

So now, I can't enjoy the game as intended because my own teammates are interfering with my ability to play the game as I want. What am I supposed to do here? Why do other people feel the need to interfere with what their own teammates are bringing to the table? This isn't Smiteless Jungle, or buying Mana on a Manaless champion.

Throughout my 5.5 years playing League of Legends, I've noticed:

Mid: AD Fighters and AD Casters Gangplank JarvanIV Jayce Jhin Khazix LeeSin Malzahar (AD) MasterYi Pantheon Riven Talon MonkeyKing Yasuo Yorick

Go Mid, with nobody complaining, and

Bottom: Melee Carries Fiora Gangplank MasterYi Mordekaiser Tryndamere Yasuo

Go Bottom without a problem.

How am I supposed to tolerate this behavior from my own teammates? Seriously, what am I supposed to do?

People have been asking for a way to report people in the lobby to stop trolling. I don't think Riot said much about it. "report them in the end game screen" is all advice I have gotten. I have a similar issue. Taliyah support.

Why do you assume the other person trolls you personally? Mb he encountered the champ last game, lost to it heavily and doesnt want to see it anymore

Pick another champion? If you only have one then you dont belong in ranked

It all comes down to elo youre playing in... im currently low plat and im about 50/50 when someone picks something unorthodox.. i would trust diamonds+ completly and have complete lack of faith in elo lower than plat.. reasoning is that even if things dont go as planned, diamonds will compensate with knowledge of teamplay and map awareness, trying to make the best of it, while low elo players give up, blame team, flame, the whole 9 yards and plat is somewhere in between... players have solid champ knowledge and average teamplay and map awareness.
