Dodging Penalties

Bay B··2 votes·965 views

So my buddy finally reinstalled League onto his computer last night, while in champ select he hadn't realized it doesn't auto lock your chosen champ like the old champ select, so we dodged. Anyway getting back into lobby upon starting we noticed that we had a 10 minute wait time, a bit shocked considering he hasn't played since February we waited it out and kept playing. Today I was playing Solo norms and I accidentally chose Ekko thinking I was banning him, knowing I can't play Ekko I dodged the game and surprisingly I now have a 10 minute wait time. Has the punishment for first time dodgers changed to 10 minutes instead of 5? If so why? I understand dodging is annoying, but getting into a game and having ither the client crash or bad scheduling shouldn't be followed with a 10 minute wait immediately, before it progressed from 5 to 10 if you dodged frequently, why has that system changed?

To offer a suggestion, implement a 'strike system' players can see from whatever menu. Showing how many dodges you've done this week, the first being 5 mins, 2nd being 15 mins, and the 3rd being 30 mins, resetting every week. Those numbers might even be a bit dramatic but if you can physically show players how many dodges and what the upcoming punishment will be for the next dodge, you probably will have a lot less dodges.

I have a like 7 minute dodge penalty despite dodging very little. It clearly appears to be something permanent, because I've literally only dodged like 4 games ever in 6 years playing League and have a 7 minute wait time.

Honestly, dodge penalty is already dumb for normals.. Like me and many other players you can just dodge and get on a different account and avoid the wait time.

Tbh I don't think 'just have multiple accounts' is the answer

Exactly my point.. Why do ppl like myself get away with dodging just to get on another acc while others have to wait. Its unfair and stupid.

The second they remove the penalty I'm just going to queue support and dodge at the 2 second mark over and over to troll.

Because RITO thinks that way everything will be solved

this won't stop anyone from dodging and will only make people get angrier when their client crashes and then they are put with a dodge penalty since they now have to wait an entire week for it to go away
