Riot Encourages Dodging In Queues

I don't know if anyone else receives this issue but in every way it must be addressed by the Riot team as its getting out of hand. It seems that blind pick is absurdly unfair to do, over the past month or 2 every time I lock in 2 roles example Jg and Top I'll get into queue then into Champ Select just to find that at the end of champ select someone will dodge. THIS WILL HAPPEN FOR AT LEAST 5-10 CHAMP SELECTS IN A ROW UNTIL I GET THE SUPPORT ROLE OR A ROLE I DIDN'T WANT?!?!?!?. As soon as I get for e.g. Support every one will thinks its acceptable to not dodge. Its pretty dumb and unfair and seems to always happen to me which encourages the idea of dodging. It doesn't help that even the auto fill protector doesn't work either, it just puts you in queue you get your role then all the sudden someone dodges and you get a different lane again?.

Riot can you please address this and punish players even worst if they do it on purpose. Not 5 min bans but Temporary bans (Not that harsh).

I guess it can be frustrating but seriously it doesn't happen that much.

Dodging is so useful dude, yeah you'll loose 3LP, but over the season you'll actually gain a lot of LP if you dodge correctly. It's already punished by the dodge timer you have to wait, so i won't say they are encouraging it. But there are plenty of games where it's useful to dodge, especially in ranked.

I dodge every game where i end up with someone trolling in champ select or when i guess my team have less than 40% chances to win (first dodge), same thing if someone on the enemy team dodge I'd stay out of queue for like 1/2 minutes to avoid a possible troll.

If you play league 200days per year and dodge one 40% loosing chance game per day with your first dodge, you actually gain about 200LP, that is two full divisions !!!

( it's a little bit more complicated then that but here is a video that will sum it up, have a look at the google doc if you don't wanna watch it, you'll find the examples and more detailed information )

What you guys are saying is nothing relating to the issue I've reported and isn't helping the situation any more by debating about who right and wrong
