Dodging in low MMR

I believe that dodging a queue in low MMR should be more lenient, because let's face it having a last pick support pick something like a Blitzcrank just to constantly pull an Annie on top of you is bad. Having a Shaco (jungle) take TP and Ignite is bad (the enemy jungler should never let you have a buff, and you have to depend on complete zoning to secure a dragon.) Pick what you want (I know anything can happen with cheese comps, but you can't deny NOT taking smite on your jungler etc is NOT going to win you many games or give you objective control) but I'd rather lose 3 LP and wait 5 minutes to play than be in game 45 minutes cause a team won't surrender and the other team can't close the game out. I have dodged 3 games this week and have a 30 minute wait, that's pretty ridiculous, but then again i'm sure alot of you will think me dodging is ridiculous. I just think that plenty of us have had that "not so strong pick" that's carried but 1/20 games is not a fun experience.

The thing about low MMR is you can always raise it if you're actually better than the people you get matched with.

I agree, what's the huge penalty for dodging for, it should max out at 10min IMO. If people could dodge it may actually help toxicity as well.

The thing is, pick order was made completely random so you aren't always made last pick because of a low MMR. Being last pick is part of the game, live with it for a while and eventually you'll get what you want even as last pick.
