!!Banning Your Teammates Hovered Champions!!

Probably 8-9 times throughout the week while playing; my or one of my friends Champions are banned by our own teammate in champion select When we ask for an explanation the other player proceeds to curse at us, act like they don't know whats happening, or tell us that they refuse to play with said champion on either team. I'm quite exhausted with these types of toxic players and I wish that in champion select something could be done.

I'm not going to lose LP dodging because of them but by no means am i gong to play my best or even want to play my best after dealing with a Toxic player BEFORE THE MATCH EVEN STARTS I don't know what kind of solutions there are for this and it really puts me off from playing the game. I send a report at the end of the game but I don't know what that is worth anymore.

If anyone else is tired of dealing with this please tell me your story and what you would like to see done about it. It would be great to get a rioters attention on this post. [zombie-nunu-bummed]

Just pick another champion. Its a dick move, but just pick another champ.

And if it was yasuo, well needed champ ban.

The solution is don't show your intended pick until after the ban phase. It is not perfect. However, I suspect it is much harder to ban your intended pick if they have to guess.

Today I hovered Soraka. This is a normal game. Suddenly, my ad bans Soraka. Obviously this confuses me as she's not one of the OPs. When I ask why he simply replies with 'shrugs'

I'm not an inherently toxic person, but we were a full ad team so I picked Lux support. I used to main it 3-4 months ago. We got stomped in lane and after every mistake this Jhin would ping me off. To be fair, I played poorly, probably because I was pretty tilted, but he kept calling me 'bad' and 'useless' asking why I didn't play a real support. This is after he bans Soraka???

I had nice random teammates who defended me, but it was an annoying experience. Reported him after, of course.

Wish we could report in champ select though. I would've felt a lot more inclined to dodge :/
