Dodging for the greater good.

Everyone knows the saying, "A dodge a day keeps the LP loss away." Sure, it does. I am a firm believer in dodging a champ select if I see a Trist autolock ADC on the last pick after I, the first pick, choose ADC or when the Teemo goes top disregarding pick order and says, "Top or feed," and feeds anyways. So I had the day off and decided to grind some ranked matches. I've been on a great streak. I started playing League at the beginning of Season 4, got placed Bronze 2, and have worked my way up to Gold 3 so far. My win streak is probably around 10 or more in ranked. So earlier, I was last pick in draft and one of our teammates called ADC. He didn't get ADC seeing as he was the 4th pick and the 1st pick locked it in. "I'm going bot anyways, Cait can jungle or something." I told everyone it was okay after the "GG's, reported, someone dodge," and I dodged. I go into the next game with an awesome team with an awesome attitude and ended up supporting as Janna and got stacks on stacks on stacks. We won. So I go into the next queue and end up being last pick again. That's cool because I don't mind filling. Double jungle lock in - Shaco and Warwick on the 2nd and 3rd picks. The Warwick then proceeds to tell us, "I think I'll just leave at the start of the match so I won't lose LP and you guys may have a chance too win 4v5." I chuckled. I tell everyone that I already dodged once today and I really didn't feel like dodging again. the guy above me says I'll dodge. Cool. At about 3 seconds left he locks in Ashe. "Ha sorry dude." So I dodge again for the team. So instead of 3 LP lost, I think it was 10? I don't remember, So i now have to wait 30 minutes instead of 6. So I cook up some pizza, throw on some Brazzers, and log back in after the time is up. I go into queue again and 1st pick is a Quinn which we assume is top since he did not say anything and was running TP. The next two picks literally wait until the last second to pick and one locks in Ezreal while the other locks in Corki. "Omg I panicked!" So I asked if anyone wanted to dodge the triple ADC game and no one would do it. So I did once again. I just closed the client and didn't even bother to check my LP loss or wait time. This could be considered a rant, a plea to Riot to help ensure some sort of safe guard to this (if there was any way possible), or...yeah just a rant.

TL;DR - Rito please show some mercy to the ones who dodge queues for the greater purpose!

....what is wrong with a team where you have Quinn, Ez, and Corki? As long as you got a tanky support and jungle. Quinn works top and Ez/Corki both work mid/adc.
