Queue Dodging

My friends and I have been queued as a 4 man party all night. We have experienced countless dodges after sitting in queue for 5 minutes only to have someone dodge and wait another 5 minutes for another dodge. I had a 30 minute wait for 1 game with my friends. The amount of dodges is ridiculous. I understand that the punishment can not be increased because of client malfunctions and other accidental dodges, but there has to be some sort of incentive to decrease the amount of queue dodging going on. Comment any thoughts or opinions. -Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

With autofill expect to see alot of queue dodges. The penalty for dodging will always be preferred over the penalty to losing/not having to play an undesired role.

Well, that's something you can expect with a system like autofill. Before autofill was a thing, my queue times were usually arround 2 mins in silver EUW. When someone gets autofilled they would rather dodge the game and wait 5 more mins for a game they can enjoy instead of playing 30 mins in a position they don't like. I actually don't get why autofill is enabled in low elo since there isn't a problem with queue times. Yeah, now my queue times are usually 45 secs - 1 min instead of 2mins. Maybe an idea for high elo but not for lower elo. I heavily prefer queue doding over having to waste my time in a game where I'm autofilled and don't have any runes or masteries for the typical support autofill.
