I get that you want to minimize dodging, but given that these are the most stressful and seemingly most important matches in ranked, can we get a get-out-of-jail-free card of some type for them?
I have people threatening to feed in my game in champion-select. I'd love to not get an auto-loss for dodging.
EDIT: One dodge. I meant one dodge. The dodge that players already get every 16 hours. Let it apply to promos to not give you an X.
I'ld rather they just start recording pre-game chat. It seems a better solution than any of those suggestions which would increase dodging/kicking by 328%
You might be interested in this post from Riot Socrates about potentially changing how promotions and demotions work for Bronze-Gold 1 series. It's not talking about giving free dodges, but a free win for your series if you get demoted or if you've reached that promo series before and couldn't pass. A picture to the survey in question below;
Or just get rid of promos altogether.... They do nothing that you couldn't do better with a system that rewards a player based on their max MMR instead of MMR at the end of the season.
Dodging is already free, it has no effect on your MMR whatsoever.

I get that you want to minimize dodging, but could you put a ton more dodges into the game?
Not bad. Would have saved me a few of my promos since my game loves to freeze during champ select.
Lmao Loken. Diamond level player problems, am i right?
Promos below diamond? Dodge, lp don't matter any ways, just mmr.
Promos in diamond? Fuck!!!! 3 lp!!!!! Arrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!!!!!
I'm all for the proposal. I might also allow it only on the first game of a series or do you think that makes it too limited? I feel like if you win the first one then the dodge wont matter for games 2 and 3. What about for 5 game series? Terrific topic, interesting idea, love it. +1'd, let's see where this leads.
Why would you EVER tell people in champ select that you're in promos? That's an awful idea and you're just begging for that one d-bag to be a super d-bag for that match. Nobody ever knows if I'm in a promo series until we're in post-game and they've used LoL Nexus to find out, and even then it can be a game behind.
BTW if the other team dodges because we have a really good setup and then I get the queue full of tools should that be an automatic win?
For the love of God, everyone please upvote this. GREAT idea.
I'd like to see this.
It's awful when you get last pick and the 2/3 roles you're good at are already taken, so you weaken your team by having to play a champ you haven't touched in 100 games.
Riot should just remove the promotion series system, it makes no sense anyway.
Why should you need to win a Bo5 series to advance in rank- your MMR should be more than enough to determine what league you are placed in.
BEFORE the game starts, allow you to NOT play that game on the record, IF you're in your promos.
Once.
BTW a PSA to everyone here: IF you want a "Free Dodge": Duo QUery.
Have ur minion friend do teh dodging. Therefore you can espace withtou problems. ANd if you have lots of friends... you could dodge many times until you found a team you like.
Given cost of first time dodge in Bronze 3 LP... compared to a loss that is nothing. Friends can help you go long ways you know...
What timer for the dodge (because, as soon as the first champ ban occures, the system can be exploit to dodge game where either your main champ is ban or if the ennemy team outpicked yours :s)
can we have it so.. when the enemy dodges that counts as a win if you are in your promos.. Basically a dodge to me should be considered a enemy surrender.. because basically that is what it is.. someone on the enemy team felt that your team comp was actually alot better than their team comp where he refused to even fight..
and anyone not in promos get 5 elo.. on the side where the dodge didnt happen
I'd like to leave an idea related. I just lost my first series game b/c of our mid leaving. I'd like to see riot do something like not giving losses if leaver buster is activated or something along those lines.
