A 2 Hour Leaver Wait Time?

So, today I noticed that the new Nemesis mode was out and I wanted to try it out and see if it were any fun. I played the first match and lost due to some strange picks by my team mates (for the enemy team). I shrugged it off and decided to try one more match and see if I really enjoyed it, but that is when the problem happens.

Now, I'm really not a trolly person. I don't like to que dodge or anything of the like. I was second pick and had to choose from a large list of champions (obviously not my own). I methodically went through the list trying to think of what would be anti-synergistic with the first pick of naut. Suddenly I realized I was running out of time and hesitated. I didn't want to give the enemy team a good champion so I started looking frantically for a champion I thought wouldn't work well for them. Unfortunately I didn't click any portrait in time...and I figured at the very most I would be in for a 15 minute que dodge time.

Lo-and-behold, I sit staring at a 2 hour wait time. The ironic thing is, for all of Riot's want of trolly dodge prevention, someone can easily troll nemesis mode by giving players the better/popular champions (or synergistic) to the enemy team. The other ironic side of that coin is that I was trying my hardest to be a good teammate and not just select a random champion for the enemy.

Do you all think that 2 hours may just be a tad too much?

I mean, I have a small champion pool for when I play normal games and I know what I can and can't play and what works for me against certain match ups...it takes a bit more time to really look at and assess what the enemy has and what the best choice could/would/should be to give your team an advantage.

let's not forget that you're also kept from getting the new Summoner icon for the Gamemode.

Doesn't anyone else feel that the time may be a bit over-the-top?
