Why does dodging take LP from every single role?

DARPA··29 votes·18,341 views

So the first dodge = -15 total LP. the second dodge is -50 TOTAL LP?.

Winning games and LP splashes for LESS than a dodge. like fuck its my fault that I have to dodge a game with chogath adc.

this bullshit is unfair . this is a new system. so whoever made the changes to ranked deliberately made it that way. and honestly fuck whoever did that.

You dont have to dodge anything, but if you want to lose 50 LP instead of taking a chance as losing less than half that, go ahead.

Yes, it is. Finally a decent punishment for people dodging.

Punishment? For what exactly? Saving the other 3 people in his team from a troll? He should be hailed instead.

Someone's going to play with the troll regardless. Better to report the person.

Yeah, you actually HAVE to dodge. Riot refuses to do anything about the abundance of trolls in ranked. Why waste 30 minutes of your life playing with a person who has no intention of winning but would rather int and troll pick? Ranked rewards trolls and toxic players.

Valuable opinion.

So you won't dodge.

Also, the first dodge is significantly less LP lost than won

I think you are missing the problem here and in turn being very short sighted. People are going to still strategically dodge but now its going to effect their off roles. I am sure you are aware of that but the problem is over a course of time those off roles are going to be so far behind its going to present a few problems.

The main problem it is going to present is that people are going to be less will to play those off roles meaning longer waiting for weaker roles and poorer quality in matchmaking.

Lets say a person was Diamond 3 in last season and season reset took him and all his roles down to Plat 3. Now lets say his main roll is Mid and off lane is Top. Whats going to end up happening is his main role mid will hit diamond again while his top may also hit it will a couple tiers behind while the other 3 lanes will fall from all the dodging and neglect to gold or even lower over the course of the of the game. This means he won't ever be autofilled in his division but instead much lower divisions ruining the quality of those games.

It's that way so you can't just dodge games until you get a game for your main role. Otherwise you could dodge every single time you for instance get support instead of mid.

They shouldn't fucking be forcing people to play anything other than their preferred lanes in ranked to begin with.

Fuck queues. Longer queues are better when there are better quality games because people aren't being autofilled into roles they're non-competitive with.

Never heard of bottlenecking?

PB4UAME3 votes

An issue for literally less than .5% of the queue, only at the highest levels of matchmaking, a place where people have repeatedly gone on record saying they would gladly revert back to 15-30 minute queue times, to actually have a semblance of decent match making, and to not have autofill? (as y'know, league didn't have for over 6 fucking years without a problem)

Yeah, no. RIOT has tried to use that as a cop-out excuse, but its frankly entirely bullshit. If that truly was the issue, they would only have to flip these measures on for Masters/Challenger queues, which already have different rules and requirements for queuing (such as no duo queue, only pure solo queue) anyway.

Votable Jester2 votes

Has the ability to choose your role been around for 6 years? I thought it was like 3 years haha

Sewer Side3 votes

You do realize bottlenecking isn’t a problem right now because of autofill though, right?

Because without autofill, the queues wil get significantly longer (hours even) across all elos, and become severely worse at late hours to the point of unplayability.

The amount of people actually wanting to fill/support is not as high as you think it is and will be a massive queue health problem if you took out autofill.

I personally don't mind autofilling, but what it does to players who are strictly role oriented completely ruins the game.

I think if the queue goes above a certain amount of time looking for someone to fill the support role, then just start the game 4v4 with no supports. I already play a bunch of 4v5s due to someone having to autofilling support on my team, feeding the first kill or two cause they dont play the role, then leave the game.

Right now we're already being flexible with picking 2 roles. Give em 3, heck even 4. But to stick someone in a role they're not competitive with and have their competitive ranking be affected by it is nuts. Imagine if you were in the olympics for track and field, and they stuck you in some swimming matches, and have that affect your final score ranking for track and field. If one role is severely under represented, that's a Riot problem, not a player problem.

Alternatively make the dodge time longer. If that person is that disgusted with the role they'll sit out the timer. I'd rather have them out of my game than in them anyway.

ANOTHER option would be to pop an autofill queue notification. If people are willing to do it they'll fill, if not they wait longer. If you're giving people the option to autofill and they don't take it, then they can't complain to Riot about long queue times since they're willing to wait.

They didn't try to. They did :P

Leetri2 votes

League used to be autofill every single game until they added role selection, because back then if you were last pick you were playing support whether you liked it or not.

Because you're not supposed to ever dodge except against the most obvious of trolls.

No, an off-meta pick isn't trolling.

Cho' Gath adc is troll. Whatever you are smoking put it down and walk away now.

No CS support top was also troll.

Tuition Fee8 votes

Okay, so I'm supposed to either lose 30 mins and 30 lp (With splash losses) or 50 LP because there's a triggered guy who got autofilled support, and just instalocked Yasuo while spamming racial slurs?

DuskDaUmbreon1 votes

That's one guy. One dodge is -3lp per role, for a total of -15.

15=!50. Unless, of course, you're dodging way more than you should be, since I've only had to dodge roughly once a year...

Ya this is completely BS.

Riot did not think through this system at all. S9 is the WORST season so far.

You play it, ff when things go wrong, and report the person. Otherwise all that's going to happen is they'll play Cho adc with some other people.

How much do you loose after 3rd dodge? Like 1st second 3rd, because if its more than a loss I think thats unfair.

Zeppelins circus1 votes

So basically when you dodge. You are Jesus now.

Heart of Light1 votes

Because you have to troll. If you steal someone's lane without consent or go to someone's lane the first 10 minutes, you will loose 3 or 4 lp. This includes following the jungler with smiting his camps.

I made a very detailed thread about this a while ago: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-discussion/hAg2X9qZ-you-lose-full-lp-on-all-roles-when-you-dodge-ie-you-lose-more-lp-for-dodging-than-for-losing

You might want to change the wording however. Saying -15 and -50 instead of -3 x 5 roles and -10 x 5 roles isn't very clear what you mean.
