dodge in aram

Plasma Servant·11/15/2015, 6:01:20 AM·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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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