Why do you get a loss for jumping queue while you are in your series?

I honestly do not see why you should. This is most likely the time when you are gonna want to leave queues (if there are trolls) and that is a pretty major punishment for something as small as leaving a queue. I understand time bans and even the small lp losses but seriously, a full loss? In the dumb three game promotion that we are forced to do anyway? This is really stupid. Please fix this and possibly remove series as a whole (or we could just go back to mmr).

Because they don't want people to just constantly dodge queue until everything is perfect just 'cause you're in a series.

They want you to prove you can win when things aren't perfect, not that you can dodge until you have things 100% perfect.

even though there are increasing time bans and then leaver bans. But oh yeah, people will just jump 5-10 times just to get the perfect team. No the only scenario in which someone is really gonna jump is if there is a troll. It's a pain otherwise.

It's not considered a leave until the game starts. Leaverbuster doesn't care what happens in champ select...

Regardless, who wants to wait potentially an hour (after your second dodge it's an hour wait) to play one series game. Its not worth it and abuse of that system is A. Unlikely and B. even you do get a team you like there is no way to guarantee you will still win. You will probably get matched with relatively the same skill people every time despite the amount of time you leave. Sorry, but there is just really no way to abuse dodging.

Riot clearly disagrees. And I agree with them.

That's really not relevant. This is a discussion. Saying "Riot agrees with me" doesn't actually mean anything. Give me reasons why it's a bad idea. Not simply that the guys who made it agree with you.

I did. You told me the case doesn't exist. Neither of us can prove whether the case actually exists, so the argument can't go anywhere unless one of us can magically provide proof of something that, at this time, cannot be proven. At this point it'll just be an argument of 'yes they will' 'no they won't' 'yes they will' 'no they won't.... and I'd rather not engage in that.
