Allow people to: 1 Skip one queue for free, without repercussions each day (then you move on to the standard 3 LP > etc.) 2 Skip one queue per promo series (doesn't stack with 1)
There ya go, trolling is suddenly way less of a problem.
Ladrac1 votesNope, some people will abuse that if they're 4-5th pick. Now it's good. And you can deal with trolls too. A troll in your team isn't a sure lose.
MCBiggah991 votesHow will they abuse one extra free queue skip? Just one? Honestly.

"Aha! Now I'm not 4th pick....and now I'm 5th...dodge!"

Each day?
There's 10 people in each game. If you assume everyone plays 10 games a day and feels like dodging 1 of them, then the odds a game will go through is 90%^10, or ~35%.
65% of your games will never start because someone dodged in that scenario.
Considering a lot of people have a job, school, or can't afford to spend ~6 hours every day playing: that's probably a generous amount of queue-dodged games as well.
2 Skip one queue per promo series (doesn't stack with 1)
Again, it's 10 players per game: not just you. To get the chance a game will start up to 90%: you need to limit the chance each person will dodge to 1%, as 99%^10 = ~90%.

If less than half of the games actually start I really doubt such a change would have any effect on trolling. Rather than a troll having leverage on games because you can't dodge and they're valuable, trolls have leverage on games because they never start and are valuable.
Queue-dodging would become an epidemic with such a change too.
MCBiggah991 votesThat calculation doesn't work. Even though the punishment for the first skip is abysmal right now (3 LP), people are not skipping queues left and right, which is why I think this change won't increase the amount of skipped queues drastically. The main feature of this idea is the part with promos, and how it makes promos less luck-based.
