Petition: Make dodges legal

CaptinKeen·Sep 14, 2015·3 votes·642 views

Title pretty much says it all: Quite, quite often you get a team of flamers, griefers, petty children and outright morons, who flat out refuse to cooperate with their team, insist on taking lanes that are already taken, and so on.

And ... I shouldn't be obliged to play with these people. Actually, I should be allowed to report them - on the champion select screen - then dodge.

So they have an honest chance of realising their behaviour is destructive to themselves and to others.

The end.

I think the biggest risk with making dodges Legal is the trolling that could come with it. Players could constantly dodge just to mess with a friend and that becomes a pain for a lot of people.

I think instead of making dodges legal, Riot should implement a system like the reroll in ARAM. Players are allowed one dodge for each queue. Once that dodge is used you won't be able to dodge until you've played enough games to earn another dodge.

Just my thought.

Dodges shouldn't be legal, but you getting a free dodge and getting another for winning when you're in your promos or series should be added. This is were all the trolls look up your account and know you're in your promos so they just feed just to make your day bad.

so why u dont leave them alone and take another lane and say it:hi all/gl hf all,and just ignore those in the game and just do ur stuff?

I do. It never seems to help. When someone rolls out the full BM right in champ select - the will ruin the game for everyone, every game.

the only way u can do in this situation is:to just fit(if some one is above u in champ selection=cuz after all it is pick order)/but if some one is below u then u have right to report them for blind picking(if u mean BM=blind mode) if the second case is happened to u just=ignore them and pick ur champ=cuz it is ur right to pick ur champ and select ur lane(pick order,not calling=its not working that way if ur team doesnt respect u)

If you're talking about ranked games, did you know that dodging a game only cost you 5min and 3LP ? It is intended by Riot, so you can get out of the games when someone start like "I'll feed". 3LP is fair, and it prevent people to do it just because they didn't got their first role. And by the way, if you see someone like this, do a screenshot and send it to the Riot support. They will probably do something about it.

If you dodge a second time within a short period of time (I believe within 24hours), you'll loose this time 10LP.

I don't know what is the next step (never tried).

Trouble is ... it shouldn't be me paying 3 lp - but the guy trolling everyone else on his team.

Every time I dodge, I'm doing my team and everyone on it a favor. I never dodge without a very, very good reason. I'm saving everyone a loss, 40 minutes of grief and a bad experience.

Well unfortunately you're the one who get to pay the price. I understand why the system is like this (otherwise a lot of people would just abuse it), but I also understand your point of vue... It feels kind of unfair, I agree :/

Actually... I know my first answer looked like dodging was a normal thing for me, but I've really dodged intentionally less than 5 games over the one thousand I must have played between this season and the previous one. Most of my experience on dodging came with internet crashes during champ select. (You don't want to know how many LP I lost because of it :'( Especially that one time I crashed two times in a row, losing 13LP...)

Dodges had no penalty in Season 3, aside from having to wait before you could requeue. It was a catastrophe. Having an LP penalty for dodging cuts down on champ select trolling significantly, because picking troll champ/troll summs used to be guaranteed to get someone to dodge, so people did it a lot.
