A Game Breaking Flaw When Dodging Draft Games

Professor Ward··2 votes·379 views

After bans and a few picks someone dodges, and the problem is that you are placed in a lobby with 80% of the members from the last lobby. Giving both teams an essential "scout" on picks and bans.

Just stop people from being in the same lobby after a dodge because it is a problem that i abuse frequently.

You can always just dodge and reque after you are out of the lobby.

i dont dodge, what im saying is when someone else does the remaining players have already seen picks and bans and can repick/ban accordingly.

But after the lobby dodge you just stop your que or decline the lobby and ree que. I always do this if the other team dodges since I assume there was a troll on that team that forced them to dodge

I always leave the queue and re-queue a minute later when this happens to avoid things like that, because it is indeed annoying.

Wasting your bans and basing your picks on champions the enemy team "might" pick is part of why you are still silver 4. You are assuming everyone on the enemy team is going to get the exact same roles and blindly pick the same champions, ignoring counters, synergy, the unlikeliness that the other first pick will ban the same champions twice, etc. Way too many factors you are ignoring.

Very poor decision.

I actually have TWO plat 5 accounts sir but way to come in acting cool. I can post on that account if it gives me more credibility lol..... gtfo with that elitist shit

Back on topic- Actually a poorer decision would be seeing the same first bans and leaving open strong champions that were picked before. Purposely not banning/picking champs that were just seen seems much dumber than randomly blind banning champs you think may get picked.

You know what, why don't you do that? Because this whole thread reeks of inexperience. Especially since this "game breaking" flaw has been around since the beginning of draft queue and the game hasn't broken.

If someone dodges and roles were called / champions discussed / more than 1 ban made, just drop que and reque. You lose maybe 2 minutes of your life (max) for a game which is going to be much better, due to the lack of 'scouting'.
