Can we address the massive amounts of dodges

I'm tired of spending 30 min just to get into a game. When everyone FINALLY accepts the game, It gets dodged. I was in 7 or 8 rooms before I finally got a game. People dodge because they don't want to play a zed, or their champ got banned. Or they were auto filled. Its getting old. I suggest harsher punishments all around. I think If you don't accept a game you should have a 5 min que timer every time. and if you dodge when a game gets accepted. 10 min que timer for the first 20 min for the second 30 min for 3+. I started looking for a game at 8:15 this morning. played ONE 32 min game, and now its 9:45. IMO I blame most of the dodges on autofill. I don't mind playing support so I don't dodge them but that seems to be the most likely culprit. Anyways rant over, I just want to get my voice out there that me, and everyone I play with are sick of the dodges, and just want to get into a game.

yes and no No People want to dodge because they feel the game isn't a good game to play from lobby don't disrespect that Yes troll dodging should be a larger loss in lp/bigger timers But how to tell troll dodging to real dodging

a lot of people have been getting black screens or their client freezes, which causes them to accidentally dodge. Also the client doesn't register you clicked the accept button sometimes. I think its the client

sometimes you can just tell in champ select you are going to lose. most people are going to escape when they get that feeling

People dodge because they don't want to play

And you want to punish them?

You never stopped and thought about what would happen if there wasn't a dodge. How well do you think the player that "don't want to play" is going to do in game?
