Ranked dodge penalty

Now im a silver player... i don't pretend to be challenger plat or even gold. and i refuse to AFK during a game.

But the LP loss when i dodge a game is stupid.

we start a game and im prick pick support.

before ne1 even chooses champs the person who is supposed to be my adc. locks in jhin. i tell him not to go jihn. and he starts raging. saying that he is goign to feed if we ban him.

now im supposed to support this guy.

i end up locking in blitz.. and they lock in ezreal and morgana

so at this point i have an adc who has already stated he plans on indtinally feeding.. who im supposed to support. and im also blitz vs a ezreal (who can tele out of my pull even after it hits him) and morg.. who has a spell shield.

on top of that not mid top and jungle have also been counterpicked by their team..

so.. every lane is counterpicked... my adc is goign to feed. and im blitz vs ezreal and morgana

i decide to be the one to dodge.

now honestly if would have been an idoit NOT to dodge. not only would have been a guaranteed loss.. but a waste of time.

now this RARELY happens... but can we get like a free dodge once a week? when this happens? honestly im fine with the 5 lp loss. but i feel like i should be rewarded for dodging that and saving my other 3 non raging teamates the loss

Honestly, I agree with you on many things. In fact, there are so many other reason why dodging penalty is unnecessary.

It's extremely frustrating to lose your LP or promos just because you forgot to lock in a pick or ban. Sometime, it's just plain bad connection. Heck, I had a time where my laptop decided to be a complete dick and restart on its own for a update in the middle of champion select... Lost my promos because of that. And trolls and intentional feeders are other factors too, although they are rare.

Still, I think Riot should come up with a new punishment for dodging because if dodging is penalty-free, there will just be too many trolls who dodge to ruin your game. Maybe something like a time-out for 5 minutes to prevent spammers.

yeah its not that i think there should be "no dodge penalty" its just that i think you should get SOME free dodges before the penalty. maybe one per day or once per week. or twice a week or something. yes if you constantly dodge for no reason then yes you should be punished. but if there is a VALID reason for dodging its stupid to be punished for it when more likely than not your being the nice person and helping out the rest of the team by dodging.. yet you get penalized and the jerks that made u dodge get off scotch free.

taking a 5 lp loss isnt a big deal. but losing a game in your Promos is HUGE. And again the fact that YOU get penalized when people who MADE u dodge DON'T
