Some Ideas on How to Prevent People from Dodging in Ranked
Yesterday I discussed a problem that many of you have also brought up. That post was mainly just a rant post, in which I did not provide a solution to the problem. Today I offer several solutions that I think many of you might enjoy.
-
Offer autofill protection as a reward for not dodging for x amount of games. This I feel will encourage less people to dodge AND also could possibly lower the amount of people autofilled, therefore improving game quality by even a small margin
-
Giving the option to disband a lobby so no one has to dodge. There was a post recently which threw out this idea (https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/mLP2hniP-please-give-us-an-option-to-vote-to-disband-lobby-so-we-dont-have-to-dodge) and it basically said that there are too many trolls in ranked and dodging is very punishing. This system would allow players to disband a lobby with at least 3 votes from teammates to prevent games like this from going through
-
Teams who have an autofilled player/s lose less lp if they lose the game. The lp reduction wouldn't be too significant (maybe only like 2-4 less lp lost) but that lp adds up and autofilled players wouldn't be punished as bad for losing.
(Kinda iffy on this idea) 4. Allow players to report in the pre-game lobby. I've seen this idea thrown around, I definitely like it BUT the report system is insufficient in punishing trolls AND pre/post-game lobby chat logs aren't saved. If this idea were to be put into the game, the report system would need to be amended completely.
Those are just some thoughts but I'd love to hear other suggestions!
