The issue.

Now, we've all come across our fair share of the uncooperative, salty, shit talking trolls. I know it's inevitable to wipe them from the game, some of them aren't even trolls, just salty cause they got trolled. Here's the thing though. I queue for a game, just wanna get to 30, and I wanna jungle. Someone else calls it, i'll just play whatever's left open. That's good. Then you have the ******* ****** of **** who wanna play what they wanna play, and then you end up with a Jax and Fiora ping spamming each other in the top lane while the jungle's getting pwned in mid and bot's getting shat on. To avoid that, I chose to dodge the game, but why should I suffer the 15 minute queue penalty when my dodge was completely justified? Should i suffer through 30 minutes of flaming, name calling and arguing JUST so i could report someone, and lose the game anyways? I know it technically sounds like whining, which I don't mean to. But your draft pick takes an average 7+ minutes to get me in a game.. Which is still subject to trolls at times... I'm just saying, you got problems Rito. I love you, but you got problems, and i hope you fix them. summoner 3 item 3070

The reason they have dodge timers is to discourage trolls from going in, waiting until the last minute, then dodging. It sucks when you want to avoid bad matches, but this is better than never getting a game.

No, they have dodge timers for the same reason they don't allow you to vote people out in champ select: rito doesn't want people to be able to hand pick their teams in solo queue/only play games they'll win. The dodge timer in this case is not an "unfortunate incident" of the system, but rather the system working exactly as intended.

rito's system allows trolls to waste normal players' time because rito is more concerned about professional/competitive play than having a fun game.

I remember when Riot didn't have dodge timers for like 2 days, the que times were awful.

There's really no good way to determine if a Dodge is justified, people would try to game the system. You made the right choice but unfortunately you have to suffer a bit for the idiocy of others. I'm sorry it happened, but there's really no good solution.
