here's what normally happens at low elo games

: can i top i cant sup : nah i cant support either (me as a smart person who wants to win): nah its fine ill dodge : wtf dont : dont dodge we'll win (picks aatrox support): i'll troll (last seconds of champ select) : f*ck you

now what is wrong with dodging if in the match we have a troll support and already an argue going on. its 10 times smarter to dodge than play the game and report each other at the end. i want as many as possible to see this since its so stupid to rage for some one dodging a game.

also you should start dodging yourself if there are trolls already in the lobby, like wtf its a free win for the enemy and you lose lp for not doing it like please dont deny that

if you think otherwise then just say it change my mind.

It's better to play out the game. Report the trolls. Let the trolls get themselves banned.

By dodging, trolls win, you have to wait, trolls don't get banned. If they're trolling and game hasn't started yet, they obviously want someone to dodge.

I encourage people to dodge if they don't like how the draft is going. I'd rather move on to the next game than have someone on my team who has given up before the game even starts because they don't like the draft. That's just a recipe for a toxic player.

What I DON'T encourage is people asking someone else to dodge. that is where I get pissed off.

Why play out the game? Especially if it's ranked game

Play out the game and lose: You lose 15-20 LP...waste 15+ minutes of your time (probably more considering that the troll probably won't agree on an early surrender), you'll tilt, want to flame the troller and possible get yourself in trouble or lose honor because of that. All in all it's not worth it

Play out and win: Sure...you win the LP but is it worth the frustration? Playing with a troll on the team is never fun.

Dodging: Lose 3LP and a small wait timer for next game but don't have to put up with a troll.

Even in Normals, just dodge if there's a troll pick. It's not worth you getting upset and flaming a teammate because of a stupid pick. It shouldn't be about "the troll wins" attitude. Who cares...I'm dodging so I won't tilt and so I can have a good game

Maybe just don't mention you are dodging ? You will be surprised to see how many people will stop hating you !

And I am always glad, when people dodge the troll lobby, I do it myself in last second, but fortunately there are other smart people doing this before me.

i mean sometimes troll picks work, but if the aatrox start taking farm thats something else...

Why listen to replies when you are going to dodge though? I get your point, but I really do not care what a stranger thinks of my dodge lmao

I mean when you've gone through 10 champ selects without actually getting into game, it does get pretty fucking tedious.

Hmm. I don't hate someone for dodging because there is a troll on their (our) team. I think there should be an in lobby report option for when someone is holding a lobby hostage. However when people dodge because they have a bad comp it annoys the hell out of me, because it's delaying the game. If everyone dodged the game like that it would be bad for que times, and people that abuse it are asses.

The only dodges that annoy me are the ones in ARAM because someone didn't get a champ he wanted. It's fucking ARAM, if you can't handle the possibility of getting a champion you don't like, the mode isn't for you.

In normal/ranked games, dodging is a healthy option that can prevent bad team synergy if the signs are all present during champ select. Riot themselves have recommended dodging at times, especially if it's likely your team will have an altercation.

Then leaverbuster will hit me harder when I legitimately disconnect from the game. No thanks.

Majority of this community does not strategically plan their champion select. If I were to dodge every "troll", I wouldn't get to play very many games. However, the games I do play are shit competitively because of the "troll picks". Lose lose situation. Probably why I haven't been playing this game much lately.

Just make sure you keep the whole losing lp bit. Remove that and I feel the amount of people that dodge my Mordekaiser bot will triple.
