Altering Queue Dodge Penalty

Haleemicus·1/12/2014, 1:05:26 AM·6 votes·813 views

Hello,

I fully appreciate the need to penalize queue dodgers, but I think the penalty should be altered to allow one penalty-free queue dodge per time period.

As we all know, there are queues that are just terrible. In Ranked someone can refuse to be a team player, and likewise in Normal, people will just lock-in without communicating and then be flippant if they do say something.

As a working professional, those 5min are sometimes really important to me. I think because of situations like these, users should be allowed one penalty-free dodge. I think the system works great otherwise.

Thanks!

What sort of time period would you suggest? I don't think it would be absolutely terrible to allow a single penalty free dodge per day. That being said, let's keep in mind this might encourage trolls to try to bait out and waste someone's free dodge and it might negatively impact queue times for higher MMR matches like Challenger and top tier Diamond. Just some thoughts, curious how you feel about it.

I think this is a really good idea, but there would be too many ways to abuse it, so I don't think it would be implemented.

I agree, often times if im first pick, I find myself doing dumb stuff, like yes forgetting to pick. What I also agree is yes this could be abused, So I say You get one free dc from per 24 hours or per week, while specifying rules being if you are a frequent leaver or abuser of the free dodge then you will be punished or removed from "in bankign terms, OVERDRAFT PROTECTING", it is a system meant for accidents, not to be abused or you lose the priviledge. NOW to also make it fair YES IN RANKED IF YOU DODGE/DC/dont PICK you still suffer the mmr drop of leaving, just dont have to wait 5 min if its your first dodge. Lets be honest lol pre game lobbies are living hell atm, alot you can predict the way a game will go in pre game lobby, so if you want to leave to advoid a heimer adc and a urgot jungle, dont suffer the 5 min wait if its something you rarely do, while you still get the minor mmr loss vs the wasted 20 min and 20 mmr drop from a pathetic defeat. But 5 minutes minimum punishment.... let first time offenses be ignored like most crimes these days.

I agree with the concept. But I think the "once per day" is a bit much. A more effective option would be once per 2-3 days. If you use it it extends the wait period, for another use, by one one day. And If not used in a long time goes down to two days. this way it cannot be troll spammed and people won't be able to abuse match-ups for higher elo. Also each players should have a counter that resets every two days that adds 5 minutes to wait time per every dodge. So one dodge 5 min next 10 min next 15, and so on. However, if a player uses 2 within say... 1 hour they get an extra counter.

Thanks!

I don't like that I missed a lock in because I was looking at lolking. The ranked screen takes forever to get a game set up and I dont want to just sit at my screen. I play all day, have one miss and then get penalized for 30 minutes. That is excessive

I think this is an incredible idea. I wish the moderators would consider this bc there are so many stipulational elements to why a que might be dodged (computer crashes, game crashes, all-support aram matchups (haha)). I think there should be a single per-day penalty-free dodge and an analysis system for when the game crashes rather than causing problems for players with technical issues and adding insult to injury.
