I was just forced to dodge a ranked game

Our ADC thought they were support, and they ended up locking in Nami. People were understandably upset, but our toplaner was threatening to straight int if our Nami didn't dodge. I was forced into a situation where I had to either lose 19 LP after at least fifteen minutes, or lose 1-3 LP and some honor.

Riot, please do something about this kind of situation. There are times when a person needs to get out of a game, either because of personal emergencies, a volatile team, or really bad picks. And "play through and then report them" isn't going to cut it in a practical sense when people are faced with at least fifteen minutes of tilting, infuriating hell. It's the definition of Pyrrhic victory to lose the game and up to 20 LP, just to report someone who might get punished.

Maybe consider giving people a 1/day "get out" button? Keep the timer penalty, maybe even make it stack with dodging, but without the honor/LP loss? For situations like this? I'm sure people would rather have the slight inconvenience of people dodging a bit more often than having shitty situations where they have to have toxic games or lose honor and LP.

Who said that?

I think once per day is too often. Once per 50 games is better. Because your suggestion means that people can abuse this to not decay.
