Oh and people also dodge when I want to play jungle
Taric. Or Naut top. THEY'RE NOT THAT BAD GUYS.
Best way to avoid trolls. Play what ever the team wants. That way you don't end up with a *** *****ing about having to play support.

Weird picks aren't necessarily bad picks. It's just since everyone has this rule about assuming everyone is an idiot until proven otherwise (I've read it often on this forum), everyone will see a weird pick as a potentially uber noob pick and run away, hoping for a "safer" team. Ofc in the end even picks considered logical like jungle Lee Sin or support Taric can turn out to be the worst player in history (no champion can be good if the player sucks), so arguably it shouldn't make that much difference. I think it's in some way psychological. That doesn't mean I'm different. I don't play draft/ranked yet, but with normal game; in loading screen if I see a bad team composition, I kinda wanna cry too. But a fair ammount of times the weird team comes out on top. Imo it's in a large part to player skill, ofc be4 starting the game it's near impossible to assess your team's skill when playing solo qeue, so maybe better to dodge if they pick weird I dunno. Your call...
when playing ranked, I would rather err on the safe side and stick with what is tried and true. they only way I am going to do something crazy is if I am in a 5 queue and it has been practiced with the 5 queue for ranked, or if it isn't ranked at all. I have ELO on the line when it comes to ranked games and I don't want it risked over shoddy picks. When it comes to bad teammates, there is no way of knowing that for sure until everythign is said and done.
How do strange picks effect your gameplay... If you can play a strange pick the best why don't you? I think the bigger concern would be getting reported.
Tard picks in ranked? Auto-lock is what I do when I troll, and I top it off with reversed build or Ultimate Bravery. Out of the 5 games I trolled in ranked, I only won 1 game.
Edit: You can now make that 6 games, and 1 win.

What's red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet at the same time? Rainbow
Champion select is a delicate process. This is where everyone starts up their ******** about how much of a noob this "troll first pick" is. This moves on into the game where they end up throwing due to the fact they are typing and thinking more about how much they hate each other than the actual game.
My advice is this. Call your lane POLITELY. "adc pls" is my first line in every que. 9/10 times someone that is a higher pick than you wants that position and they take it. This is where you say nothing at all. MAYBE call another lane if you can. Whatever you do DO NOT TROLL. Stay optimistic and keep your head in the game. Try to keep your teammates in the same state of mind. If you succeed you have the ideal start to any game. Continue having a good attitude and continue trying to dissuade any conflict between your teammates. This is one of the most important "non gameplay" things you can do.
