I hate playing a game that I already know I've lost right from champ select. Whether it's people fighting, trolling, arguing over a role, or not having an ADC, I have to dodge to not waste my time. I just had to dodge 2 games because of these same reasons. I have to wait 30 minutes now, and I lost 15 LP.
I don't think both LP loss and wait time should exponentially increase.
SmokedAlmonds2 votesIf there weren't significant penalties for dodging it would take forever to get a game to start. People would dodge for every little thing.
I do with they would treat it more like other punishments though. Track how often people dodge rather than just reset each day. So you could treat people who dodge once a month and people who dodge every day differently.

DU Baymax1 votesI haven't played a single ranked match yet, but the one time I have dodged in regular play the penalty was only a 5 minute wait. Soooooo not sure why it was 30 minutes for you ^.^

The more times you dodge in a short period of time (something like 24 hours, idk exactly), the harsher the dodging penalty gets. It starts out with 5 minutes, but scales up to higher times very quickly.
DU Baymax1 votesAhh, gotcha. Well, I agree the penalty should not be extremely severe, sometimes dodging is okay in my book. (For example, no one on your team is trying to communicate except you or you have 3 people trying to play mid all of them too stubborn to back down)
But other times, people dodge for no reason and it is just freaking annoying. I had a streak of like 4 draft pick matches in a row where halfway into champ pick someone dodged, it was like 20 minutes before I got into a game. Freaking annoying as hell.
DU Baymax1 votesOh but trust me, from someone who almost never dodges, you won't lose as often as you think you will just by judging in champ select!
Gandalf0108121 votesWhen people dodge because they can't play their champion they want, when they are facing a hard match up, or when they are just in general trying to escape a hard match, sure that should be punished. But not if you are with a bunch of idiots in champ select where people are fighting, trolling, flaming, or where you have no real ADC compared to the other team. That doesn't become a situation anymore where winning is hard, that becomes a situation where you most likely will NOT win.

And lose more LP than I would by dodging, and waste my time. Right, makes so much sense.
