Dodging Punishments

Jyoeru··1 votes·255 views

Yesterday, I received 15 minute queue holds due to two dodges I had in three games. The first was due to being bullied out of the role I had called and intended to play during character select (the only time I dodge, and rarely at that). The 2nd time was due to an infrequent issue where the character select screen pulls up as a blank screen and there's nothing I know that can be done when this happens other than to exit the program.

I get why the penalties are in place, but was a bit upset over the severity of my penalties due to the fact that I rarely dodge games overall. I am not sure how the current system works, but perhaps it would be reasonable to consider a system that looks at % dodge to played games instead? I don't know how these penalties accrue and drop and escalate, so hopefully it has been reset.

it looks at % dodged and a certain time-window as far as i know.

btw: noone cares about the reasons why you left :D or at least the system doesnt care because its not a human.

This is close but not quite right.

Dodge penalties reset daily for everyone. The penalties go up based on how many times you dodge in that day.

I definitely wish they would track it like other behavior. Then the guy who dodges once a month to avoid a troll or w/e can be treated differently than the guy who dodges every day because of stuff like "a guy picked trist over lucian".
