Dodges at the last seconds of champion select should be punished more than dodges very early on

Dodges that occur early on in champion select don't really waste much time. People identify the reason they are dodging and get out right away, costing people maybe 30 seconds. You also barely get any information on the people you would be playing with.

Dodges that occur at the end of champion select waste a significant amount of time. We're talking at least 5 minutes per person. Total that up for the 9 people in the game, and the person who dodged just wasted 45+ minutes of time.

There is such a huge difference between the two, I'm really not sure why they have the same punishment.

I think Riot needs to take care of trolls wasting 30m+ * 9 people first, especially since anti dodging measures are already in place. I never see someone post a permaban thread about trolling...it's always toxic chat, which leads me to believe that trolling mostly goes unpunished, prob since it's harder to pinpoint than someone typing "F this" or "N that".

You also almost hit on this point (said the opposite side) but late dodges also give away a lot of early information. So many times a last second dodge results in the next queue getting 4+ bans targeted at previous picks. That's not really fair.

Won't this kind of thing change with the new 10 ban system that's coming?

Everyone is annoyed with dodges; however, this wouldn't help. Consider the player who is last pick. Now suppose someone else randomly locks their champ for a different role or tries to steal their role the turn before they pick. Or that they are using offensive language and through champ select have shown they plan to go through with a threat to int and ruin another player's game. Surely the last pick player who dodges such a game should not be punished. As much as I hate going through 8 champ selects, I would rather have that and get a decent game than go through 1 champ select and have 1 side dealing with an intentional feeder or toxic racist player(s).
