Free dodge once a day

since there are instances when people will get trolls or people who hold the lobby hostage wouldnt it be a nice addition to give a free dodge once a day?

ofc the 2nd offense will be 3 lp loss then 10 again this will only affect ranked

what do you guys think?

I feel like there are already an annoyingly high number of dodges, though.

No, thanks. I don't need to re-queue 10 times before i can get into a game. I'll gladly accept my 5 minutes (and 3 LP loss) penalty if I have a need to dodge than pissing away my time in re-queue lobby.

That seems fair, it might create other problems but I definitely think people deserve an opportunity to avoid trolls without being punished for avoiding a bad experience.

Good idea!

clicks accept 8 times per game played

"you know what guys? we need to allow people free dodges"

clicks accept 18 times per game played

"yup that worked perfectly!"

random person : "excuse me, are you trying to help league?"

"nope"

btw i think this is my new thing now, i just breakdown how i imagine the thought process or convo mighta gone.

im pretty sure im always right, lets see; according to my imagination, my imagination is 100% trustworthy

Yeah, the idea seems nice in theory, but as others have already stated in this thread, that would likely amount to thousands upon thousands of extra dodges each day. It's frustrating enough as it is having to deal with the current number of dodges. I personally think that Riot should increase the dodge penalty while also implementing a system to punish those who attempt to hold the lobby hostage or who grief others in the lobby.

Well the idea seems nice - but I agree with general consensus this WILL be abused by people who don't like their team comp to play once a day...

On the other hand an ARAM-Reroll Esk version of this... Whenever you complete a game win or lose you get emergancy dodge points - say some base value (numbers for numbers sake) of 3 for a loss or 20 for a win (those that are actively trolling the hell out of their team are less likely to actually win so) Plus a multiplier based off the number of minutes in game (Say oh x1.5 for ten, x2 for 20, x3 for 25, x5 for 30, x7.5 for 35 the longer the game IS the more points you get.) anyone who leaves in the middle of the game loses all points based on that game plus either 1 emergency dodge worth of points or all their remaining points (Because those people who start RANKED games without necessary time REALLY shouldn't be getting points - but on the other hand using this same system if you actually DO have an emergency would seem fairly easy to implement however the cost of doing so should be fairly severe as to again avoid abuse as much as possible)

at 250 or so points (Average game being about 20 minutes for sake of math - that is ROUGHLY 8 games - 4 won and 4 lost) to have one emergency dodge, you can hold up to 2 at any given time

Anyone still watching this thread have anything that they want to say about my version of this? Thoughts/Concerns - I really do feel like this does hit a middle ground between being too punishing on a player who IS being held at ransom every now and then, and being free to someone who is actively trying to make lives miserable

Edit: Math major forgot the asterisk which is actually used more for multiplication than using an x is already being used in HTML ... in a post where he also uses it in the HTML ... [zombie-brand-facepalm]

How the fuck is 3lp and 5 minutes a penalty? It's already free, and I guarantee people will start abusing it just because they don't like their team comp

I don't know, I see a lot of people complain about dodging already. I wouldn't mind it personally.

WAY to much. More like free dodge every month or 100 games so you can use it only in the highest of needs ( flamewar in prechat plus 2 trolpicks locked in) or on that one occasion you forgot your ethernet cable and your wifi decides to randomly dc for a few sec.
