Why do people get banned for dodging troll games? I just dodge a game where a Lee Sin insisted that he was going jungle no matter what even though he didn't get Jungle. I dodged so save us 4 from having to deal with that. I don't understand the concept behind bans.

to stop people from just dodging every time they see an enemy comp they dont want to play against. "Enemy picked Yasuo?" time to dodge since there is no penalty :D!!!!!

The intent for the dodge timer is that dodging for good reasons (family emergency, remembered prior engagement, trolling Lee Sin) has little to no punishment, while dodging for bad reasons (I don't like the team composition...for the third game in a row) has a substantial punishment.

Certainly, it sucks to have someone take champion select hostage. Nobody wants to play through a dumpster fire game, but Riot doesn't want people dodging for frivolous reasons, such as disliking a teammate's (legitimate) champion pick or finding trivial faults in pre-game planning. That's why the punishment exists. It is also a scaling penalty, so that people who are responsible with dodges get minimal punishment, and escalating for serial dodge offenders. Don't forget about 5 opponents who have to wait through their own queues again, and possibly 4 teammates if the dodge is for stupid reasons.
