Accepting invites to games while in ranked draft causes dodge.

Won my last ranked game so I queued again. A guy from the game prior invited me using the new feature where you can invite people not on your friendslist as suggested in the lobby. However, upon seeking to click accept to the invite I had received, I was forced out of my champion select and out into the main page of the client. I didn't get into his lobby nor did I get my LP back.

What did you think was going to happen when you accepted a game invite while you were already in champion select?

Accepting another invite from somebody else is not a free means of dodging a game. If you leave champ select for any reason, you're dodging that champ select. When you dodge champ select, you lose a small bit of LP. You also get a queue dodge penalty, which is why you couldn't get into the new lobby for the game you accepted.
