Ranked Champion Select Dodge Punishments

Hnitt4··3 votes·363 views

I think you should be able to dodge more without getting so heavily punished. I know you guys at Riot Games might not think 'dodging' is necessarily that healthy for the game, however, I think it is. What if you know someone on your team is going to intentionally feed or is playing a suboptimal pick (such as trundle adc)? For the first dodge you lose around 4lp or so and have to wait 5 minutes. The issue I have is that the second dodge makes you wait 30 minutes to wait to queue again (and around the same amount of lp)? Why this drastic jump in wait? It doesn't make sense? The advantages of dodging outweigh the negatives. The sole negative example I can see is a person purposely dodging to make the queue experience less enjoyable for others. But isn't this why the 'punishment' ramps up? I'm just saying to lessen the first couple of 'dodge punishments' so that people do not feel disinclined to dodge. You may bring up the point that you can wait around 16 hours to have your dodge timer punishment be reduced (as in after this 16 hours if you dodge, it will go back to 5 minutes). This is still unfair, there are always going to be some instances where one dodge isn't going to suffice; it could be that suboptimal pick, someone forgetting their summoners, you having to leave soon (in real life), and a number of other things. Thanks Hirakiroe.

People should get 3 free dodges per season

I don't think this is enough...like I'm going to echo a lot of what I said in my text above. You have life (personal things you may have to attend to), someone trolling (threatening intentionally feeding), suboptimal pick that you may not like, and forgetting your summoner spells, to name a few. Do you really think 3 dodges per season would suffice? A season is pretty long.

Try getting a different role as a one trick Vladimir, it's not fun.
