Queue dodging to avoid trolling

My Big Tits·12/5/2016, 10:29:02 PM·12 votes·5,973 views

So why is it that when I have to queue dodge to avoid trolls that ban my champion in champ select and have picks like sivir top without communicating with their team, I get the penalty? They are trolling in ranked and making me lose my lp if I tried to play out the game, why do I get a 30 minute penalty for dodging once? It just doesnt make sense to me.

If it didn't penalize dodging, people would dodge whenever team comps weren't optimal.

You choose to dodge a Sivir top. Other players may not. You may get a higher win rate as a result of that (since Sivir top is likely to lose), thus to balance it you lose LP for choosing to dodge. It would be unfair to those players who eventually choose to play with the Sivir and eventually lose if you didn't lose LP. If you hadn't dodged, she'd have been in your game and not their queue.

Also eventually she may end up on the enemy team. If you always dodge such players, but there's a chance enemies won't, you'll get free wins by default. That inflates your LP above your actual skill level. An LP dodge penalty brings it down to where it should be.

As for time? The enemy team did nothing wrong - heck they had a free win! Yet their time was wasted because you dodged (and refused to give them that win). Hence, you suffer a time penalty to discourage wasting others time.

Yes, the fault isn't yours if there's a legit troll, but that's the idea behind it. Riot can't know who the trolls are immediately, so they need something in place. I don't want 2 hour queue times.

The system only matches you up with crappy 30% winrate tops if you are at your proper ELO.

Just another way League likes to punish the people who react to trolls rather than the actual trolls themselves.

Because they system doesn't connect to your camera and analyze your emotions,it doesn't know your intent or reasoning,it just knows you dodged

Isn't 6 minutes for the first dodge? Even when I dodge in rank I only get a 6 minute penalty for it which I'll take any day over dealing with a game full of trolls.

Because there isn't an established role/champ correlation. Sivir top is completely legit and approved by Riot, so all they see is that you dodged. They don't see someone about to troll, just that someone dodged. If you dodge enough games, you get a leaverbuster penalty that escalates in wait-time as you do it more often. Hope that clears up your confusion.

i mean i wanted them to get the csgo penalty for a long time. here its only 20-40min or so and there ppl get banned for days and weeks.

which should affect someone like you too. if you queue up for 10-20min and then get an a''hole like you just dodging the queue cause theres one pick you dont like, they should ban you atleast an entire day for trolling the queue.

You will never be satisfied. There's an easy way to fix that tho: Just create your own Game where you can be the Leader of every Ban and pick. This wont get you anything, but atleast you are happy and none else needs to bother having their queue ruined by you.
