Would Locking Players to Random Picks Stop ARAM Dodging?

As an avid ARAM player, I'd love to see some measure introduced to stop people from dodging to avoid playing a champion in ARAM.

One of the most common (and ingenious) methods I've seen mentioned would be to lock players to the champion they were assigned (or rolled into). If they dodge, their next queue will assign them the same champion. You got Sejuani? Go ahead. Dodge. Guess who you're playing next time?

Would this be too complicated to implement? This, alongside the champ pool being opened up in the ARAM queue would be absolutely amazing.

As an avid dodger of unwanted champions in ARAM. If this got implemented, i would no longer play ARAM. ever again. I refuse to get stuck into a game on a champion that either I personally dislike or performs suuuuper terrible in ARAM.

It's just a dodge. It's not the end of your world. You will survive.

And what happens when two players -- who both were assigned Nunu in a previous game, and dodged -- are matched together in the same game (whether as teammates or opponents)? How will that be addressed? Right -- you didn't think that far ahead.

This terrible non-solution to a non-problem is the same from every single ARAM Bronze League™ cry-bad who posts it. And it's been posted by ARAM Bronze League™ cry-bads for at least three years. (Meaning it's not going to happen.)
