Losing 20 LP for dodging?

Last I remember it wasn't 20 LP to dodge. It was like 5 LP. Why such a harsh punishment? Sometimes a dodge is absolutely needed to get away from trolls and 5 LP is worth it to get away from these games. 20 LP is outrageous.

You dodged too many times.

you lose 3lp for a dodge and the more you dodge (in a row?) the more you lose.

Yeah, you would'd had to have dodged many times for that to happen since it starts at 3LP.

Time penalties

All queues dodges give time penalties that prevent you from queuing again immediately after. Those are increased for subsequent queue dodges within a 16 hour window. This time penalty is shared between the various queues, except for ranked team queue.

Yea same here, people doubted me see I didn't make it up. I had to dodge multiple times because of so many trolls in champ select.

I haven't lost any. A buddy dodged twice and lost 20 on his second dodge and a 30 minute lockout timer. First dodge was because he didn't ban a champ in time and second was to dodge troll team comp. I get there being a penalty for dodging ranked in the form of LP loss. I agree with longer and longer lockouts ( and I think they should be longer earlier personally ) but to jump from a 3 lp to a 20 lp loss seems a bit harsh. First time his mistake ( that's a whole different issue....i mean what if somebody doesn't want to ban any champs ) but the second was to dodge a complete troll team.

For clarity I understand there are penalties. I agree there should be penalties. This just seemed completely out of the blue to jump from 3 LP to 20 LP.
