One free dodge per day (to deal with champion select trolls)

Title says it all, also allow for flagging in the lobby so that ppl there won't get matched up with you again.

You get one very cheap dodge per day already. Totally free ones would be abused.

Blocking people from matchmaking in Ranked is also abusable.

Maybe they should make "dodges" like re-rolls in ARAM, if you play enough games you get them and you can only have a cap of 2.

Yes and yes. Too many times I'm in series or 1 win from series and I get a team that just picks whatever. Poppy jungle, AP shaco top, etc. I don't mind unconventional meta picks, but not completely troll ones.

Losing 3 lp isn't that big but when you are in series there is nothing you can do, which is stupid.

that would get very annoying when people just don't like their team comp... and decide to quit at the last second. which happens a lot already.

But it's only a single "get away from jail-free" card for your entire day. Come on.

Assuming you only play 3 matches in one day, which is quite low for many players, that's 5 players per team x2 teams x3= 30. if you don't count yourself that is 27 chances at dodging a lobby just in 3 games just because they don't like the roll they got, or their team comp ect. The idea is good but fundamentally flawed. i think a better way of implementing this in my opinion would just be one LP loss prevented dodge a day so you can dodge obvious trolls in ranked, and only one so much less likely hood of being wasted on just getting a diff role seeing as its ranked. OR a group vote to reque w/ 3/5 vote majority (i always found it stupid that you need 4/5 to ff when you can just get a duo trolling which happens all the time and they can just keep declining and ruining the game for everyone, 3/5 is still a 60% majority vote) Note that while the former method mentioned would prevent LP loss it would ideally include the time out still to prevent to much abuse of this mechanic.

There needs to be a punishment system put in place for.

. Non Communication . Champion Select Toxicity

. Adding a role selection system or builder to ranked so players can choose roles would help reduce toxicity.

I have been in games where i clearly communicate, and I get players telling me hateful things in champion select, auto locking, and then harassing chat, Its almost impossible for me to personally find a good match sometimes.

LIke honestly I have gotten 3-4 good games today, but every time I hit Promo's its usually a fail, or Get a great team, next Team is toxic type of thing, and I get reported a lot more by toxic players harassing chat than I get with non toxic and friendly players, so the chances of getting more automated restrictions are high.

We need more than a free dodge but rather.

. Vote disband . Role Selection System for ranked. . A way to report toxic players in champion select.

The amount of toxic players I have personally been experience is very high lately not only to myself but have seen others being abused and reported by other toxic players.

Team Builder?

Edit: That's only for normals. Didn't real the entire sentence.

Anyways, didn't Riot say that some experimentation would be done on a Ranked version of Team Builder in the near future?

They did but Riot isn't keeping us updated on what is going on with this, and this morning I have had a lot of toxicity games related to champion select, Players refusing to communicate, don't listen then get toxic when things go bad in the actual game, and sometimes 2-3 players all locking mid champions and calling X role or feed and such.

Simple changes like this could solve a lot of problems with toxicity.

One free dodge might be too much. Technically, you DO get a free dodge before any REAL cooldown punishment sets in (5 minutes first dodge of the day).

I like Dota's style where you can have ONE free abandon (Kinda like a dodge) per WEEK. This can't be abused and it allows you to get out of a bad game.

I just don't understand the mentality that these people have. If you go into a ranked game you should be ready to play any role and you should be ready to win. Coming in with a bad attitude is never going to end well. Its not like these people aren't losing LP as well.

Players also seem to think that they are immune from punishment for anything they say or do either in champ select or post game. Riot really should smash some toxic players for the crap they pull in champ select or the attitude they have post game to send a message to the other trolls.
