We need a report option for "stole my role/screwed up role in champ select"

Potato Doc··3 votes·804 views

I got into a ranked match only to have a team mate decide to afk choose jungle, even though he was auto filled support.

I tried to ask him what he was doing and got no response. So if he wasn't going to respond I guess I would auto fill instead as support. Im upset but I can deal with it. (The fact there isn't a report option for this is ridiculous).

10 seconds before the match starts I see him swap to exhaust and start saying "sorry wasn't looking" which screwed me over so hard because I had chosen my support already and had to frantically swap to smite so we didn't have a smiteless jungler. So I am in a ranked match with a jungle I have never tried before with runes and masteries I am not even sure I want on my champion.

This doesn't happen often (i hope) but it should be ban worthy/ a full reportable cause if they screw you over in champ select in the reason is even as small as "I wasn't looking".

The fact this isn't reportable is beyond me. We have the role select to help us know which roles we are. Riot please just do this.

Joke punishment(so I can vent a bit): Also maybe as punishment those who suffer from this report should be spammed "You are (insert role)" all across the screen as they select their champion so even they cant miss it and if they pull it again they are insta banned

only person that screwed you in that match is yourself stop blaming others for your own decision.

Yes but the issue was one.) neither of us were those champs, two.) I was inexperienced with my support choice in the jungle and im assuming he was the same for that jungle as support (he was rammus) , three.) was runes and masteries are really important on many junglers.

when in doubt, pick a flex pick.

I've done rammus support before ages ago and it worked out. Keep in mind I also do urgot support.

I do agree that this is a little too much of a problem whenever it does surface, though be it something I've only experienced a couple of times in past games. I don't know if I'd consider it reportable per say, but it is definite negligence. You can't flat out ignore champion select if you're bothering with a ranked game, no matter how tedious or dull it may feel up to that point.

The issue is we are all given roles, and in that it gives a rigidity that blind doesn't have. Escaping those confines because you are too lazy or in other cases trolling your team should be reportable. If we look at recent events there was a support nunu that was banned because he ran smite as his other SS. This would fall under "not playing with the team" aspect that many have brought up as the ban being justified. So it would also seem fair to say not paying attention enough to the one word under your position is also not being a team player.
