Giving me a loss for dodging in champ select while in Promos is petty AF

Hydrohawk79··4 votes·1,457 views

Don't punish me because I'm trying to avoid being punished by my teammates. Take my LP and MMR, leave the actual outcome (win/loss) for me to actually play.

That's just petty by Riot.

It's always been like that.

And OP has a point, its still petty AF. Because, maybe you'd rather not be teamed up with that Jinx JG, or the troll that states he intends to feed because no one will switch with the role he got filled into. 1 free dodge during promos wouldn't kill the game.

And then they give us that one free dodge, then we demand a second dodge and then a third, then a fourth rinse and repeat. All that will have to be said is "it won't kill the game". Hown is it petty when you are trying to game the system because someone picked something you didn't approve of?

Thats basically called the "slippery slope" argument, and its pretty much bullshit-nonsense no matter where its tried. Again, it won't kill league of legends to allow a free dodge.

It's called having a brain and sorry that you want to game the system. Try again

I agree with the OP, if you get someone throwing racial slurs or intentionally trolling even in pregame lobby, a dodge is your best bet to avoid the outrage and frustration. Basically, I don't think dodging should give any punishments to rank at all. I agree to keep it from becoming a constant issue you should still get your wait time punishments for continuously dodging games and such, but still, shouldn't affect rank. And the OP is right, using the slippery slope argument is rather stupid and childish at the best of times. Simply put, don't make the game as frustrating as possible then get mad when people get frustrated, that's the childishness of Riot though.

Riots Mindset: Makes Game Game is good and fun Then.... Makes game overly frustrating and gives power to people to annoy others Gets upset that players get frustrated and toxic Throws a power tantrum "Don't get mad, be nice to the snowflakes"

"Oh I don't like this team better dodge! Now I do that over and over and then just switch to my other account or go do something else while my 'punishment' is dealt with"

"Anyone who disagrees with me is childish"

Well, if someone had a REAL arguement as to why, then they can speak their mind, and its not that you dont like the team, its that you do it to dodge trolls and overly tilted people who would be overly toxic, people can talk shit all they want, its a video game, but there is a right way and wrong way to go about it. Its a childish arguement cause its one you would use on a child to get them to shut up so they can continue to be lazy and not put in the effort.

Having a brain would mean recognizing the "slippery slope" is a known logical fallacy. Find a list online to help you, in the post-truth era, it's important to know them.

"Post-truth era" what? Please explain to me what this "post-truth era" even means.

Ok... thanks for wasting my time. Either tell me or don't bring it up. Thanks for being useless

Dude.

You'd have to read a few sentences either way...

(Also, the expression "wasting time" is highly subjective, when used on a forum dedicated to a video game...)

Shit sucks. If you Dodge it's like giving up before the match even starts. Be grateful it's reduced lp loss when you aren't in your promos
