Can we get a free ranked queue dodge once a day?

For the times when your internet disconnects midway through champ select.

For the times when everyone is raging at each other before the game has even begun.

For the times where someone accidentally bans my or another persons preferred champion.

For the times where you just know the support ezreal or top soraka is going to feed.

Not sure about anyone else, but I'd endure the countless queue dodges due to avoiding these issues or even trolls abusing this power if it meant finally getting into a game worth my time. An extra 5-10 minutes for +19 lp or whatever is better than 20-30 mins for a -20 lp.

Technically your first dodge is free since you'll only lose 5 LP and 5 minutes wait to queue again.

For the times in which you accidentally eat too many jalapeno poppers and realize that you can't move your entire "setup" close enough to the bathroom before the game starts, and have to choose between playing in promos or still having a fully functional pair of pants. Wait, that got too real...

Every dodge is 'free' essentially outside of promos.

Yes, you lose LP, but you won't lose MMR. Even if that sticks you in the same division for 100+ games, that means one of two things:

A) You aren't climbing regardless of that match you dodged, so dodge as much as you want

B) When you DO get to a promo after however much LP you've lost from dodges, you'll skip two divisions

Never hesitate to dodge.

Personally, I've found climbing in LP has never been terribly difficult. If you're struggling to gain LP, find out what skill is holding you back and work on that. Come back and start climbing easily until you plateau again.
