Free Dodges

We should have the ability to dodge champ selects a reasonable number of times a day with no penalty. I'm talking 3, maybe 5 times a day where you don't lose LP and you don't have to wait, and it could be rationed out, maybe it resets after each game or once an hour. Why I get penalized because I don't want to play a game with a JERK is BULL. The prevailing attitude in this game is that if someone treats you like crap you have to smile, accept the D, and hope Riot does something about it after. Its ridiculous. This isn't how life works. I shouldn't have to choose between extended queue time and loss of LP or spending 40 minutes with an asshole who will most likely be a bad, selfish player anyway.

A day? are you nuts? Maybe 3 dodges a year.

I don't think an emergency dodge is out of the question but not because you don't like your team, not because you didn't get your lane or champ. 3 a year for "my kid threw up." "my wife went into labor 2 weeks early" "DIIIIIIIARRRRRHEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

I'd be totally okay with one dodge a day(Which still costs -3 LP) Without the timer. I do reasonably dodge one game most days(Whether it be due to trolls, bad attitudes, whatever), and I do it with the thought of "-3 LP and 5 Minutes is better than -17 LP and 20+ minutes". But it's the -5 minutes that bothers me(Or honestly, the -30 minutes if I decide to dodge a second game for whatever reason). Having one dodge without the timer(But still have the LP loss, that's fair IMO) Would be a huge improvement.

One dodge that doesn't effect a series would be a godsend too, but yeah.

You know how we get rerolls in ARAM? Thats how we should get dodges (Without LP Reduction OR Timer) I feel like that would make the game SOMEWHAT easier. Less people will troll because they didnt get their desired role. I feel like it can't be abused either.

i like this idea but it will be exploited to the most, tbh i think 2 dodges should be allowed within a 2 day period reset. i dont mind having bad players on my team , its just that some queue's you get that one person who threatens to feed or they are highly toxic. i dont know how to deal with them and still attempt to play the game and win

Remove loss of promos from dodging and I'm happy. It just doesn't make sense how you "loss" a match.

There should be some kind of penalty, so losing 10 LP and 60 min penalty at most is fine with me. I have other accounts I can play on.
