Why can't we ban Champions the enemy doesn't own, but someone in my Team does?

Okay, a new Champ is out and i understand some people don't like normals and play (and practice) everything in rankeds. And ofc i don't care about this one game where our first Time Yasuo lost us this game, shit happens.

But i wasn't even able to ban him in Champselect because none of our enemys owned him. I know it sounds stupid to "ban out" my own Team, but it's soloQ.

I don't want people in my Team to play a Champ that is out for X hours and when I'm pretty sure nobody knows how to play him good.

Because banning champs for your own team does nothing but encourage toxicity.

I guess you are right, he didn't write "i want to play yasuo" so it was just my thought "i don't want him in my game", simple as that.

But yeah he lost us this game and i wasn't even able to ban him out of "my" game even though i was firstpick. :(

It doesn't encourage toxicity. Not like you are gloating or saying ha I banned the champ you want to play. You just ban it and don't say a word about it.

Even if he gets pissed you have to weigh a little bit of anger vs. a person not knowing wtf they are doing. Its almost impossible to know which will cost you the game, how mad the person will be etc.

People always have other champs they don't mind playing and won't actually be that mad about it, so the odds are usually in your favor of banning out the new guy.

If he throws a fit, you can always say "He's OP I was scared the enemy would get him".

don't like normals

I dont agree with playing new champs in ranked, but draft pick is the only way to get yasuo right now.

I'm pretty sure that enabling another way to troll your own team in champ select is a bad idea.

I would say picking a new champ is the best trolling but i guess you are right, it would bring more negative than positive things ._.

yeah but can just communicate you know? "please don't pick Yasuo in ranked, get some train before"

We both already know the response will be along the lines of "stfu" and "dont tell me what to do

Well, you could argue that you should not see what champions are owned by the enemy team.

totally disagree. I get that in ranked people shouldn't play new champions, but banning him is just trolly.

Dude it is never stupid to ban out your own team. Someone says they want to play Shaco. You ban that instantly. I've never won a game that Shaco was in, my team or my enemies.

Shaco is on the field of play I lose.

I think it'd be cool if riot disabled new champs in ranked for a max of a week.
