Is this punishable and what is your opinion on this? Also, how do you respond to this kind of situation?

I will ONLY ever ban someone's champ if i see it is a yasuo player, i op.gg them, and they have an awful winrate and kda. While it can be considered trolling or toxic i'd rather be that than lose the 16 lp with a 1/12 yasuo in my game

I'd try to convince them to play someone else, if not then I would prob do the same

Yeah i usually ask them to swap to another champ but if they dont i'll just take it away, i hate terrible yasuo players that wont play another champ/practice till theyre good enough to play ranked with it

Never select what champion you want in the start screen and learn to play other champions lol Not reportable in the slightest.

Idk dude intentionally hurting ur teammates chances to do well is kind of griefing, I can play more champions yes but my main is who I do best with, even tho I have 5 comfort picks.

I'm pretty sure it falls under unsportsmanlike conduct, but it needs to be pretty obvious that they ban your pick because they didn't like you, and not because of a strategic reasons!

With that my opinion is that you should be kind enough to talk with your teammates. Fotm, or what most consider OP champions shouldn't complain when someone bans their pick. Especially if you are not first pick!

I don't know, I think banning your teammate's champion while you're first pick and in a promotional series is punishment enough.

You're probably gonna lose that one.

if you're 1st pick you don't have a ban....?

Guys, I meant when someone else does it to you, worded the title wrong.

Best have another champ in the line up ready, it happens. Report them don't flame in game, open a support ticket showing the issue

Depends were you picking yasuo? then it is 100% approved of and good to do. If you weren't then no it isn't good. ;)

I was picking Darius, I admit he is overtuned atm but banning him in fear of the opposing team picking him was not a valid reason since I was first pick and our team picked first.

Don't choose anything until bans are over if you're afraid of someone troll banning.

Two different situations I will refer to.

First, I take ban requests from teammates. Had a Jungle who was hovering Lee and asked someone to ban Lee. Seeing the hover I double checked and he said oops meant Ban Hec. Talk to team mates.

Second, had an Bot (adc) who picked Veigar. Did not flame him or anything. I simply told him I will believe in his choice to carry with that. Rocky start with his Sona support but they did well in the long run. Don't flame, try to support and see how things go first.

Stuff like that pisses me off royally. It makes me automatically not want to help that person or work with them. But I usually don't say anything beyond a ". . . " in team chat when they ban. Most of the time, they immediately apologize and say they weren't paying attention. If they do, I'll let it go and just try to get through the match on one of my back up champs. If they say something like "Not playing with no !*#&^ on my team!" and proceed to admit that it was an intentional ban to screw me over? Oh yeah, there will be a griefing report at the end of the game.
