You say you want to cut down on toxicity, but then we have to deal with people saying 'x role or feed' then not getting it and trolling.
Now, the 4 others either have to deal with a troll (and more than likely a loss), or dodge and lose LP/series and get a time penalty. Either of these are going to sour someones mood, leading to more negative attitudes in game.
Something really needs to be done about this.
I agree with Jagmag. A lot of the toxic behavior you see is an attempt to get others to dodge so they don't have too.
For example, yesterday I lost a ranked game because of a really unskilled duo in a ranked game. Knowing these trolls were probably re-queuing, I waited 5 minutes before joining the queue in the hopes of avoiding said trolls. Yet, of course, here they are on my team AGAIN (ty Rito). I became pretty frustrated that I had these trolls on my team again and knew I was going to dodge. At this point I would have to wait 30 minutes to join the queue if I dodged so I decided my best option was to try to get someone else to dodge. I locked in my "off meta" pick in hopes of getting a dodge from a teammate- I was never going to actually play vayne jungle with clarity/smite, but I hoped the threat of it would get a dodge from someone else. But, in this example these guys were all baddies, so they obviously didn't even think to dodge, and ultimately I had to use another one of my dodges. I mean, if no one on your team is going to dodge a ranked game when someone is running vayne smite/clarity, then clearly you have a team full of brain-dead trolls, and it is validation that you were right to be prepared to dodge the game anyway.
I would rather wait 30 minutes and lose 10 LP and watch TV, than for sure waste 20-50 minutes in complete frustration because of a troll duo and lose 15-18 LP.
but..but..but then i might get reported for trying to make people dodge D: I love it when there's obvious trolls/baddies to auto lock jungle thresh it makes them dodge every time but what if they could report me instead of dodging D: XD
lyte has stated that if you report someone in pre/post game chat riot does see it, simply post in the notes it was in pre/post game chat....
by dodging you are allowing the troll to successfully troll.... you lose by dodging, because you played the trolls game, you lose LP you lose time, they go on to troll another game
i would rather do my best, lose if we lose, and report the person if there was a reportable offense, pregame, during game, post game... because we cannot control the actions of others, only our own
