Dodging as a system.

After playing this game fore over 8 years, I think one of the most flawed things in the game is the dodging system. First off I don' believe players should have to exit their client to dodge a game. It can be a bit of an inconvenience. There should be a button of some sorts. Second I believe that there should be some system in place to give players a free dodge. This could be possibly once or a few times a week., or potentially rewarded based on behavior. If a player uses one of these "free" dodges, then they should receive no wait time after a dodge to re-queue. They would also avoid losing lp. I've had many situations where I wanted to dodge, but I was in my promotions, so it would count as an automatic loss, which is extremely flawed. People have blatantly opened up about their intentions to troll in champ select and picked some strange champion for their role and take something like ghost and cleanse as their summoner spells. I'm not entirely sure how the rest of the community feels about this issue, but as someone who has played thousands of hours of this game, I think this is a major issue.

I completely agree, especially since dodging is a system that pro players and even Riot themselves have recommended in some cases. At the very least, I don't think dodging in promos should count as a loss. That's stupid

That's kinda the fucking point. It's supposed to be inconvenient. You're not supposed to be dodging. That's why there's a queue timer after it.

I'd be fine with that if they massively increased penalties for dodging off of that. As it is dodge penalties are beyond fucking trivial.

Yeah, if I get jagoff with 3000 games, on the same champion, in a season with a 48% w/r, you can bet your sweet ass I'm dodging. That guy is a ticking time bomb and likely worse than dead weight lol. Or if I get autofilled jg/support that is first timing a champ( I have two problems with this) then I'm also dodging.

  1. what the hell is a guy doing autofilled past silver in a game
  2. why can't the guy play something meta or at least comfortable with rather than a first time champ

The fact that we even have dodging in the first place is abysmal game design, why are players allowed to que up when any sensible person would just dodge them? These players that have to be dodged should just be ranked banned. Other than that Autofill should be removed and the game would be in a much better state.
