So, I do not like the fact that you lose lp when you dodge, since most of the time you are dodging due to trolls and the like; however, I understand why they take some of your lp when you do dodge, therefore I have a suggestion. I suggest that each player is only given 2 dodges a day, and during your series you are allowed to dodge one time. These dodges do not cost you any lp. Any comments or suggestions?
Fredart2 votesI like the idea that you lose lp when dodging because 90% of you asses wait till sec 1 to quit out. plus why should you get benefits for crying like a bitch then quitting? How is it fair to the other 4 that have to re-queue after selecting what they're gonna play, if your small brain cant fathom the idea the people play who they want then maybe its time to find a single player game, not everyone is out to get you, some just don't like others telling them what to do in a VIDEOGAME.
Starcall Casey2 votesThis is a really bad idea. -1. Giving people free rain to dodge is always a bad idea. maybe 1 free dodge in your lifetime on that account that you cant be in promo's.
OhOkYeah1 votesThe worst part is that forcing people to play games they know they aren't going to enjoy or have a chance at winning doesn't bring any revenue to riot. How do they profit from this? It's odd. Allowing people to enjoy games will probably get more people to drop some cash on the game more often
Trylobyte1 votesAs much as I disagree with Fredart's tone and hostility, there is a fundamentally true point there - If you give people free dodges they will use them, and if they don't spend all day playing Ranked (2 hours is good for maybe 3 games) then they will use them liberally, not only to dodge trolls but also to increase their chance of winning. After all, they have three.
I don't like our team comp? Dodge.
I don't want to play support? Dodge.
I didn't get mid? Dodge.
My main got banned? Dodge.
Giving free dodges looks nice on paper until you see what it's going to do to queue times.
Matthias91191 votesMaybe -- MAYBE -- they should let you dodge once in a 5-game promo series without it counting as a loss. Even that's iffy.
Totally free dodges would be abused. Let's say you only have time to play one more match today and you haven't used any of your 3 free dodges. You can queue up for Ranked, and if you get your best lane/role you play the match, and otherwise you dodge. If you do that 3 times in a row and still don't get what you want, go play a Normal instead and try Ranked again tomorrow.
Riot already tried eliminating the LP penalty on dodges. You know what happened? Ranked was unplayable because people dodged constantly for competitive reasons. Sorry, this is just a bad idea.
SpongebobIsLife1 votesthat's why I put a limit on how many times you can dodge. You can only dodge twice for free and then after that it ramps up to 10.
FHMarshy1 votesI don't think # games / time is a good way to measure. I saw a thread a few month ago regarding this issue, it proposed something like free dodge every 10 games you play.
I think that is a lot more fair
Celestial Lion121 votesthis isnt that great of an idea 3 a day is too many and odds are youll get one troll a day so just giving one free dodge will probably be best
BlazinHot61 votesYou already get 1 cheap dodge per day. 3 LP is insignificant when you dodge a losing game and win the subsequent game. Even if you lose the following game, you were gonna lose it anyway if you didnt dodge. Riot has straight told us that dodging a game has no effect on your hidden MMR.
SpongebobIsLife1 votesyes but that's only 1 per day, if I wanna dodge after that I lose 10 lp per dodge.
