In champ select me(bard) and diana(mid) lock in. Seems all is fine.
Next we have a teemo instalock and say he's going mid. Then we have a kayle instalock and say mid.
Nice to know I get to lose 5 LP(May not seem like a lot but it's still something) and get a time delay on my que for not involving myself with trolls.
Glad to see your system is working as intended, I can only dream of the wonderful things you'll do for us next.
This again? You know the penalty for dodging, yet you do it because you think it's worth it. Did you even see if the Teemo or Kayle would go top or jungle? You aren't a victim, you're a crybaby.
According to you, first his happened:
In champ select me(bard) and diana(mid) lock in.
And then this happens:
Next we have a teemo instalock and say he's going mid. Then we have a kayle instalock and say mid.
So you locked in before them, but still blame them.
Why not wait until you see what other players are picking and make sure that your pick works with that? Not just because other players may do what they did; but what about team comp? What if everyone else starts picking and then you realize that you could be better with a different Champion.
In any case, dodging is dodging. That team comp could work fine; literally all three of those champs can top/mid/jungle.
With the way the system is placed which I'm sure a lot of people by now understand, because you dodged it seems like you are in the wrong, you never know if the people playing those champs are really good with them, and because you can't report them if they are really trolling they'll get a free pass because you dodged and they'll jump into the next game fast continuing the process!
Nothing wrong with everyone going mid, you can usually get 2 towers before top/bot have lost 1/2 hp.
I can understand where you are coming from however you need to think about this.
NoDomeAtHome4/19/2015, 12:58:52 PMThey really need to allow you to leave in select. It may cause trolls to start delaying start times on games... but I would rather have that than have to make decisions about losing LP for choosing not to play with horrible team comps / trolls what not. A ranking system that slows progression for something that has nothing to do with the game is not one that properly judges talent at the game. As far as solo queue goes, this is why you have people who are absolutely horrible and don't even understand things like... idk.. how to farm under turret (just an example of a basic mechanic) who sit in gold, while you have players who do really well and perform well enough to play in a gold / plat team sit in bronze due. Its far to grindy in the lower elo's for solo queue. Simple flat... win / loss you gain or lose everything... lp, mmr, everything. That forces you to rely on strangers who may or may not give a damn. I understand losing LP, but when you take a dozen objectives for your team, you die like twice and only because it resulted in gaining an objective, and participate in 90% of the kills... and you do this consistently... nearly every game... even when your team fed their team to oblivion. It should not lower your MMR. There should be an algorithm that takes in to account personal performance. Which I understand would be hard to make, but it is the only way you could make solo queue entirely fair and truly accurate. Because the way it is now, match making does not match you appropriately. You'll have maybe two decent players, then 3 crap players on a team, vs maybe 3 decent, and 2 crap. Maybe 1/20 games... if that do I have a game where is 5 players of similar ability... vs 5 players of the same ability. It RARELY RARELY happens. Its always one sided. You HAVE to rework your solo queue. Its probably 95% of your player base and you just build your game around the LCS.
In conclusion.... I don't mind the LP loss, I mind the MMR loss. Because that makes good players have to play a hundred extra hours just to advance because of other peoples mistakes / trolls / anger / inexperience... what not. Yes, I make mistakes, everyone does, not saying I'm perfect, but I am good. I don't enjoy playing with or against horrible players. I nearly always steam roll my lane in my current elo. I'm tired of it. I want a challenge that doesnt involve fighting against 2 ridiculously fed lanes. I want to have 5 good players, play against 5 good players... so I can actually say "GG, wp" at a loss and genuinely mean it. I haven't lost a game in probably a month where it wasn't do to someone / someones being outrageously fed in a complete Frelo game for them.
