Dodging

100T mitchell·12/28/2015, 10:05:27 PM·6 votes·732 views

I just got in a game lobby in blind pick where someone called support and shortly after two players who were clearly duo queued called support and adc. Person A picked Bard and locked in, he clearly had called the role so no harm. One member of the duo pair got his breeches in a bunch and started complaining about how "this always happens blah blah blah" and his partner stated that he was going to "intent feed bot". The pair proceeded to pick Yi and Lee Sin.

Now, yes it is just solo queue but I value my time and I don't want to waste 20 minutes of my time listening to these two idiots complain and flame so I dodged like any normal human being would. I log back in and am greeted with the friendly reminder that I will have to wait 5 minute before queuing again because I'm a terrible person and I should hate myself.

That just doesn't seem right. Why cant we at least have the option to avoid toxic and idiotic players? What I'm suggesting is that Riot implement a feature that would allow you to dodge a game with a majority vote of the players on one team. That would help keep trolling to a minimum but still allow players who aren't inconsiderate a******* having a bad day to move on to a lobby with hopefully more stable teammates.

Thoughts, questions, concerns?

I think there should be a "scrap lobby" option, I don't care if I go to the end of the queue and wait for 10 minutes, some games it's just the better option. Majority vote of 3/5 to prevent a duo queue troll situation.

I think the ability to report in champ select would be much better than vote to end. While that would be good for situations like that, the quickness I regularly see of people to jump on every little perceived weakness in a team makes me think its not a great solution.

What I would really like to see is dodging be tracked like other behaviors instead of just resetting everyday for everyone. So that people who don't normally dodge can have reduced penalties or maybe even a few forgiven and people who dodge every little thing have them stack up.

I also think teambuilder fixes most of the champ select issues and its coming to ranked soon.

i think the time penalty makes sense but i don't think dodging should lose you 3 lp / one game out of your promos. i really don't mind dodging normal games and waiting it out because it's only 5 mins, i can just like.. go get a drink or something but dodging ranked is a bitch and i don't think i should be punished just because the duo q wants to fuck up everyone else's game.

though i can understand why you think it's unfair that you get punished for dodging normals when it wasn't your fault.

Bumping this in hopes that a Rioter will see this. I don't think think that the option to report people in champ select will help anything. Everyone's entirely too report happy as it is and over-saturating the tribunal isn't going to help anything

You should be able to report ppl immediately at any stage of the game to deter trolling and unsportsmanlike conduct.

Stop making posts that no one cares about and stop playing the game. I have to take 3 and 4 month breaks from this game due to the fact that Riot lets too many idiots ruin peoples fun. And when i come back to play, Riot gets my gaming money. And because they dont change anything ever, they do not get it for the few months im away. OR keep making posts complaining and do nothing to actually show Riot your displeasure with the game.

the problem i see with this is any time a good champ is picked ppl will scrap the lobby. for example if we ban 6 ops and a 7th is picked we scrap and reque, if same thing happens scrap until we have a better comp then the enemy will just scrap.
