SUGGESTION: Get rid of dodge timer!

I dodged a game earlier today because Warwick, Master Yi, Jax, Shyvana, and Rammus were banned (I should have to main 10 champs for each role!) and then I had to dodge another game two games later because Warwick, Master Yi, Jax, Rammus, Lee Sin, Shyvana, Kayn, AND Nidalee were banned. That's 8 damn jungle champs banned out of 10! I guess I am partially to blame, since I am banning Shyvana, but there is no reason to punish someone since just about every viable jungler in the game was banned. This is actually retarded! And I have a 30 minute ban timer because of it. I play 4 freaking junglers, I shouldn't need to master more than that for bronze/silver matches.

You should master 2 max 3 champs for low elo you dont need 50 champions you will never climb like that.

i actually think removing dodge timers on ranked games makes sense. but for a different reason.

there is already a stacking lp penalty every time you dodge. first game is -3lp, second game is -10lp and it keeps stacking from there. dodging more than 3 games on a day makes dodge penalties too punishing to keep doing it. there are very few reasons to even dodge a third game, as the lp penalty is just as large as playing it out and losing it.

despite this penalty, people still dodge games on a regular basis for strategic reasons. if a teamcomp looks bad vs the enemy team, or a team is exceptionally toxic already in champ select, or a specific player is showing terrible stats in his match history, then people will dodge despite the timers.

all the timers are basically doing for ranked games is to remove people from the que and make que times longer. there is really no purpose to them. the lp penalty itself is already enough to stop people from dodging every single que. i dont think by removing dodge timers, there would be noticably more dodges overall, since people still dont want to lose lp.

suggestion learn to play more champions or some non-meta champion on your role. If that many champions were banned then your opposition is in the same boat as you are so take advantage of that. Riot isn't going to remove the dodge timers just because you refuse to play something else

LoL auto dodged me, I preselected my champ and ban thinking it would click in by itself and then it kicked me and said I dodged but I only did cause I thought your selected choice gets clicked in automatically when timer runs out.
