30 minutes for dodging toxicity in champ select?

Riot,

Your system is a little too strict when dodging games due to toxicity. I've dodged two games today because people were frothing at the mouth in champ select and now I have to wait 30 minutes to play another game? I mean come on. Do you really expect us to play games with ragers and feeders, that admit they are going to rage and feed in champ select so we don't get penalized for it? How is this a fun use of my time in your game? I either get penalized for avoiding toxic players, or I have to play with them and tank my MMR?

You must have been dodging between 5 to 10 games to be receiving a 30 minute penalty, not just 2.

It only takes two dodges in Ranked to reach a 30 minute wait time.

Yes it was two dodges in ranked, the penalties are more severe than in normal.

Actually the first game is 5 minutes, and the second is 20 or 30.

no the 2nd is 30 first is 6 for both normals and ranked

Well that's basically what I said, aside from 6 instead of 5, which isn't a big difference.

You don't know what you're talking about so please stop posting. That is totally 100% false. 2 dodges gets you 30 minutes. Stop posting.

This is a one month old thread, kid....

I would prefer to eat 15 and then 30 minutes for dodges whenever i encounter toxic pre-game than to have 90% of my games not make it pass champ select due to no penalty for dodging.

Sorry for your bad experience, but dodging is supposed to be AVOIDED, right?

I mean, the system in place gives us some protection from folks that would, say, dodge if their main is banned/picked, or dodge for other frivolous reasons. More leniency in pre-game dodging would protect folks avoiding toxicity like you, but also open us up to more frivolous dodges.

I'd assume Riot has done the math and decided that they have a good balance currently.

Well it's pretty much like real life, the rich don't get taxed yet they complain that they poor don't spend, in league of legends the retards are the upper class while riot is the corrupt system that backs them up and every good player is the guy on food stamps that gets blamed by medias.

Don't want to play with jungle zilean, support yasuo or adc master yi? Well i hope you have 30 minutes to waste boy. And the next game will be a 40 minutes game that should have been surrendered at 15.

It sucks but it beats playing a half hour game with the ragers and losing LP. Ive been steadily climbing since i started dodging more often.

There isn't a perfect system here. Someone could op.gg their team mates and doge every time they don't like what they see, claiming ragers and toxicity. It's an unfortunate side effect of preserving the integrity of matchmaking.

I agree. I quit playing League of Legends because of how shitty riot treats the player base.

They punish decent players and allow trolls to ruin games....... 30 Minute penalty... Fuck off Riot. You're not worth my time anymore. It's a game.

I know this is an old thread, but... I had an idea..

A simple 'voting' system could be implemented in the champ select phase. Let's pretend it says "Toxic Emergency". Have a prominent check box that when three or more users have clicked it auto-dodges. Most of the time pre-game squabble's are a product of the fill role, or auto-fill algorithm. And most of us, cool-headed players, can spot the toxicity from the first line.

That's because you dodged twice in ranked. It's unfortunate but you really only get one freebie dodge every 24 hours which should be sufficient. Rank dodge used to not be punished and I remember having to go through 7-10 queues for a game to start back in season 1 and 2. This is the best system possible.
