I had to dodge out of a lobby..

I know you shouldn't dodge games based on what happens in the lobby but this was not worth the wasted 20 minutes. Guy is last pick and given support role, he puts his desired pick as fiddlesticks. The ADC begs him not to use fiddlesticks support and asks him to go tank. This goes on for the entirety of the lobby until he finally says "u go tank" and locks in. The ADC now threatens to intentionally feed now since he's guaranteed us a loss so he should just give up anyways. So instead of dealing with all of that I dodged the queue. Better to lose 5 minutes than 30 IMO.

My point is there should be a lobby voting platform to kick a player out and restart the queue so if stuff like this happens then we don't have "not all heroes wear capes" moments to prevent intentional feeders or someone claiming to go to whichever lane they wanted instead of the lane they were assigned. Like I just dodged a queue, got a 5 minute ban and that guy got to keep going into queues, possibly ruining someone else's game.

Maybe this doesn't happen in higher ELO's but it still hurts my chances of getting to that tier. All I'm asking for is a lobby reset vote or something where you can call a vote, pick out the player, and if the vote has MAJORITY (i know this game doesn't understand majority with 3/2 surrender votes not being the "majority" - taking care of the duo queue trolls as well) in favor then the game is reset and that specific player is sent to a lower queue priority so that the other players aren't in the same lobby with him again. If it happens a number of times in a row, or in the span of a week or w/e you wanna do, then that player can have a temporary ban or have a probationary period or something.

The rematch mechanic was amazing. It's saved me quite a few losses. Now we need a prevention mechanic (since loss prevention doesn't actually work). I realize this idea isn't perfect but if it's strictly for Solo/Duo queues then it can't really be abused. If some guy threatens to feed, bam, he's in a different queue priority. He does it again the next lobby, bam, he's back to 0 time spent waiting for a game. He does it a 3rd time, bam, he can't play for 5 minutes.

No we don't need a "vote to kick." We need something that collects data on why people dodged that specific game (which riot is already thinking about).

People shouldn't build their team so squishy that they require last pick to lock-in a tank. It can be very annoying to play a tank bot-lane right now due to the poke meta.

the adc was the baby fiddle is a valid supp if I was there I woulda said okay fk you locked in garen stole all his cs

Anybody who threatens to feed in the lobby because of somebody's pick is a baby. Anybody can be a valid supp. Either feed the ADC lane or kill lane. I've been Renekton / Ahri bot and broke\ the game. Legit maimed the team and they could not recover.

Keeping the fact that threatening to feed is always a bad thing I can understand how frustrating can be for an ADC to see that all of his team mates have squishy characters which (on the contrary of him) have either hard CC, silence or a way to escape while he will be the punching bag of the 4 men ganks and the following teamfights.

the only person that ruined that queue was you and your "adc"

I clearly see that this was my fault. How dare I participate in this game.

So who would you have voted to kick?

Who do you think most people would vote to kick?

Think of a (or more than one) scenario where your proposed system can be abused, and how would you prevent the abuse?

Think about the same question for all the queues.

If you can answer those questions then you have a good proposal, but for now, what you suggest has too much room for abuse.

The guy threatening to feed. I see nothing wrong with picking whatever champ you feel comfortable with but if someone else on the team is saying "if you don't play what I want you to play then i'm just going to intentionally feed" they should be kicked and placed in a lower queue priority. Eventually leading to ban. If you're being trolled by 3 rando's every lobby about your pick then yes it could be abused. If everybody in the queue that you're in is a massive troll it would be abused.

This can be abused. I like playing Braum top (on normals) and I bet I'd get kicked every time.

Hell, I can even get kicked for Rengar top.
