It does suck, but how do you propose Riot handle people dodging due to a troll differently than someone dodging because picks/bans didn't go his way, and how do you think they might distinguish the two?

While that is lame, it doesn't even imply that you're a bad guy. The penalty is a result of toxic players, not Riot. Due to that toxic player being on your team, it's already too late, you've been exposed. You will either have to play with them and endure, or dodge and endure.

Too bad there's no way to report in champ select, and that it seems there are no records of pre/post game chat. There are countless people who are toxic/troll in champ select, yet never are punished because they act okay during the game.

That sucks, but just remember that you wont get sympathy from the mentally impaired here.

It's not sympathy, but moreso asking how to remedy this situation. It's going to be very hard for Riot to determine who is trolling and who isn't in champ select. If there is no penalty to dodging, I can guarantee you that queue times will ensure no one ever gets into ranked games again, outside of 5 man premades, because there will be anger about pick / bans, checking your team's stats, etc. People already dodge with the current time penalty, so removing it would ensure games would almost never start.
