This is how I look at it, you can take it or leave it.

  • Sometimes off meta picks do well, sometimes they do bad, sometimes they do average
  • I get a 5 LP dodge I can use, I use it sparingly
  • I get on off meta/troll players/bad comp teams just as often as I go against them
  • If I play most of them out, in the end it all comes out in the wash

Consider maybe not dodging a bunch of games. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the system and rules in place. The fact is, they are what they are and it's your responsibility to play within those parameters or face the consequences.

  1. You lose LP and time from dodging. 2) You lose LP, time, and MMR from playing a losing game with troll picks. 3) You're more likely to lose with troll picks.

The math suggests you should dodge when you think champ select is going to negatively impact a game.
