Lock in Dodge penalty

I'm increasingly annoyed by the lock in dodge thing. Champ select/ game making has been taking an incredibly long time lately. It seems like someone dodges almost every time. So, I have to go through the champion selection process repeatedly, usually at least twice and often three or four times, to start a game. Given that it takes more than five minutes, on average, to start a game, I like to put on netflix/youtube or the like while I wait.

Step one: Declare a champion. You can't lock in, there is no button. Step two: my turn comes up. Usually, the client pops topmost when it's my turn to select a champ. Except the one time in five it doesn't. Step three: wait out my que dodge penalty. This wouldn't be such an annoying problem, but the fact that I have to repeatedly go through champ select means that I'm getting a que dodge penalty an awful lot. And I never dodge on purpose, because I'm so full of these accidental dodge penalties, that even when I'm with obvious trolls who WILL ruin my game, I don't want to dodge because I don't want the penalty.

I've also been punished for dodging because I was paying attention to what my teammates were saying instead of counter. It's extremely counterintuitive to not be able to lock in when declaring a champion, then forced to lock in when selecting your champion.

TL;DR: Please make it so that If I've declared a champ before champ select, it automatically locks in the champ I've selected, instead of automatically dodging for me and then automatically punishing me for dodging. This feels bad.

PS. I'm not sure where to post this. If you think there's a better place for this, please let me know, or even just post your own thread there.
