There should be no timer for dodging normals.

I know, you want to try thing on normals. Just let me dodge out of your crappy naut+leona bot or zoe jg troll picks without having to sit on a penalty timer.

Why does this game allow others to sink the game from champ select for others, yet holds you hostage to that entire game of slowly losing because you either get troll picks or the top lane went assassin on a team full of squishies.

It would take ages before a game started.

"I don't like this team comp" *leave* "I don't like this match up" *leave* "My teammates have 30% WR" *leave* "My team is speaking a different language" *leave* "Today, I want to be an asshole" *leave* *leave* *leave* ...

It's not like 5 minutes is the end of the world. If your leaverbuster timer is longer than 5 minutes, that means you have been leaving too many games and deserve to be punished.

That's an easy fix. Put a 2-3 leave limit that refreshes every 30-45 minutes.

5 minutes adds up with the frequency of troll picks in norms. There's absolutely no punishment for trolling the games of other people, and people know it.

"Troll picks" sorry but why are you playing normals then? That is THE mode where people go to screw around and try out new things. There is no punishment because they aren't doing anything wrong, despite what you might think

If you want to learn a diff jg champ, that's fine. That's what normals are for, practice.

It is you who presume that anything goes in normals, like picking a Zoe jg which stretches the champion's purpose so far beyond anything reasonable that it can't even be called anything but trolling when said Zoe jg has to back by lv 2 without even half of one side cleared.

It's one thing to try something like Morde jg.

It's another thing to tor%%%% a game for%%%%r teammates just because you selfishly want to joke around. Do that crap in twisted treeline or some other format.

You can't get serious practice when the game basically becomes you getting farmed and not being even able to play out a game because a lane is going to snowball straight from champ select.

I suppose since I want to screw around, I can go into normals and play a top laner that just roams into jungle and multiple other lanes to tax their minions for amusement before going back to my lane underleveled. You know, since anything goes and I'm just trying out new "strats".

How do you think stuff like Taliyah Twitch jungle became a thing? Or stuff like Ornn support became a thing? People trying new shit out!

How do you think that new strategies and new ways to play each champion? It sure wasn't by going Annie mid. TF was a bot laner and built AD before people having him go mid and build AP. How did that happen? Oh right by actually trying him out in mid. How did AP shyvanna became a thing? By people trying it out!

I said it before and I'll say it again. Normals is THE mode people use to screw around and try new things. You don't like it? Then don't play it and stick to ranked.
