Troll Picks almost nonpunishable. Autofill protection not fully helping

Now, it is always recommended for someone to provide insight with an unbiased opinion, but I believe that user feedback is a partially subjective term that requires bias for it to go into full effect.

So I was in the queue, picked Mid and Bot as my first and second picks, without any autofill protection. A game is found but someone denies ready check. This happens another 3 times in the same queue, and once I finally find a match, I am placed support after requesting ADC and being denied it, which I fully understand, earning me a 2 game autofill protection after playing support in that game.

So I play the next game with autofill protection, and then the one after that, I get Bottom. My support picks jinx, bans my adc pick, and insists on playing adc because "if i dont we will lose". Someone in chat recommends him to play the pick he was assigned, but he refuses, and the only way I could report that player is after the game ends in the stat screen, meaning I would have had to play support when I EARNED the autofill protection for one of my roles, or play an undesired hero with two ADCs for 40+ minutes JUST so I can report someone who refuses to play support, so I queue dodged, and got a 6 minute suspension for it, which I know will magnify if I keep getting players like this in games where I wanna take a break from the number of times autofill puts me in support, as I see my earned protection being stripped away by someone who refuses to follow my (subjectively fair) chronology.

Now I am fairly new to the game, and might not know of another way to report players like this, so if there is one, please excuse this rant, but giving the full picture never hurts anyway.

However, if there is no other way to report players, and what I described in my third paragraph is truly the only way out of this situation, then I certainly see a problem here.

I'd love some help, thanks.

There's no such thing as troll picking so long as he is playing to win.

Though, role stealing is a punishable offense and you can report him after the game. But why would you have to play a support? Jinx's initial AD is much lower than the rest of the ADs and you can last hit much easier than Jinx with pretty much any AD out there (other than Vayne), so just out last hit her. But also keep in mind that there is no rule that supports can not CS.

Personally, I'll call her bluff and let her dodge if she doesn't want to play. If she int's then you can take this chance to clean up the community.

Take a screen shot and make a support ticket.

Will they get punished? Don't know. Riot won't tell you either.

I feel for you OP, that's a terrible situation and I'm with you that it should be reportable without having to play the game out.

Best you can do for now is screenshot it and submit a support ticket, they will investigate the player.
