I responded to somebody who had an idea about getting a free dodge as well. I think it is a bad idea to try and tackle trolls this way. I'll put the relevant part of the post copied here and leave a link to the original comment at the end.
------------if you skipped past the above explanation here is your tl;dr--------------------
I hope this helps a little bit. What you have proposed is not a good solution as it :
-
Does not address the root problem. It just attempts to circumvent it. Much like how the current system does not actually address trolls pre-game.
-
It actually empowers trolls by giving them more tools to exploit.
-
It also opens up avenues of abuse for players who think the game is not in their favor (without a negative side effect).
One thing I would like to see, if I am so damn smart about why your idea doesn't work :
If somebody dodges a game, have a pop-up that allows each player in the game to explain why the game was dodged (and who caused the dodge). Basically an option to report somebody for pre-game abuses that were big enough to cause a dodge.
-
Just like tribunal, this would not go on a game by game basis but more of a "This person has been reported repeatedly, what is going on here?" basis.
-
This does contain the old system (somebody will lose LP) but also contains the chance that trolls will receive punishment for repeated behavior. This actually puts a real consequence on trolls while imposing a minimal consequence on the dodger.
-
This will be slow. However, it will allow a build up of evidence. So that when action is taken against an account, Riot has plenty of proof for why they are receiving actions such as suspensions, bans, etc...
-
As a bonus, this uses systems that Riot already has. They have a report system. You have to update the look/categories for pre-game but the foundation of the report system is there. Riot already has a tribunal so they already store these reports somewhere. Just add in this category (either separately or combined).
-
This empowers the non-trolls by allowing players to take action against trolls before having to sit through an entire games worth of abuse.
I hope this helps you with you with critical analysis of your proposed features in the future!! :}

The main message behind the post is that trying to give players free dodge passes really just empowers trolls by giving them more leverage over others because they can still call "mid or feed!" without consequence. Whereas my counter proposal looks to give consequences to people who consistently troll.
Remember, when looking for a solution don't just look at how to help those being taken advantage of, but how to stop the people who are taking advantage! :}
