dodge in aram

Plasma Servant··7 votes·962 views

I don't know how many times I've had someone dodge in aram when I was thinking "this can work" and I have a champion I personally love. Someone dodges, and then it is only downhill from there. What I'd like to see is that if a person dodges in aram, they get stuck with waiting until a team of 5 dodgers can be placed on a single team (even if it is hours) and all five of them have the champion they dodged, and they cannot re-roll or trade. Problem solved. Dodging would only happen then if someone had a really good reason to dodge (like their computer crashed, then internet connection was lost, their house was on fire, etc.) Because you know you would be stuck in a really bad team, with the same champion, why would you ever dodge then. ARAM is about being random ... and I understand not wanting a "free to play" -- they really don't belong in a serious ARAM game. Learn champions in bot games. They matter, but you know you can win there at least.

I mean if I got udyr 3x in a row I'd be pretty pissed. Don't tell me you wouldn't dodge lmao. Yes. Aram is supposed to be fun and troll-like. But you can't have fun if they're consistently giving you champions that don't allow you to do anything fun.

that's called randomness - you can get shitpicked 3x in a row. you either adapt to it or play a troll build. either is more acceptable than dodging.

Come on man that's too much! But in my opinion they should make you have the champion you rolled before dodging like you said! that's a good idea.

I'll agree that dodging in ARAM should be punished harder than dodging regular games, as it just goes against an idea of ARAM - to play whatever champion you get, have fun, not flame and relax. But maybe not in such harsh manner. Just make it that they have to wait 20 minutes to play another game instead of regular 5, or even half an hour. I'd say that would be enough to lower the amount of dodging people. If not, make the penalty harsher.

This is kind of where smurfs come in though. Dodge, relog onto a smurf, requeue an ARAM. I kind of wonder when Riot is going to start linking same IP accounts and simply handing out all punishments to all accounts whether it be bans, suspensions, chat restricts or less serious things like dodge penalties...

EDIT: I want to state that this is actually a bad idea. If only for the fringe cases, such as streamers... Those are the people who really need smurfs.

IP tracking is ineffective two ways. First, it's easy to use a dummy IP address, and second, often there are many people playing from the same IP address (via shared internet, college dorms, roommates, etc). That being said, Riot does have ways of tracking down smurf accounts.

20mins is completely insufficient to deter dodgers. they'll just find something else to do for 20mins, try a 2nd queue, and dodge again if it sucks. there's already 2 rerolls, if you get a shitpick, just try your best or beg to swap, nobody will blame you. i can even guarantee you that if you are on my team and u need a reroll, i'll swap you to help you roll.

but if you dodge, i will curse you and your family for all eternity: may you miss every skillshot and get yasuo/riven in every ranked game.

Dodging in ARAM is already worse, as it starts at 15 minutes.

Plasma Servant1 votes

It should be even worse than that. 3 strikes in 6 months and you just don't play aram any more.

So with your 'solution' literally no one would dodge. Instead, they would let it get past champion selection and just quit once the game starts.

And then get a week ban from aram the 1st time. 3rd strike in 6 months, and never in aram again

i'm for strong laws and maximal punitive measures when it comes to aram dodgers.

i think if u afk the first 2 mins of aram you already deserve a one-day ban.

if you afk an entire aram game, you should just get banned from queue for a week instantaneously. if you get shitty flamers in game, /mute all then troll them right back with a full zeal build or whatever.

so, riot, how about it?

A Zombie thread deserves a scientifically conducted zombie poll.

7 out of 10 zombies say they hate dodgers because it makes brains taste worse. .
2 out of 10 said dodge away, it won't make any difference. 1 out of 10 asked us if we were going to dodge. So instead of answering, we dodged, high tailed it out of there, and ended the survey.

To solve dodges, they could just remember the last random champion. Then you get it until you play it.
