Dodging Punishments

This more than a rant than anything else, but here goes: I get that dodging is annoying, but sometimes its necessary. I just had went into a champion select where I called mid, but then got it stolen from me by a guy who locked Cho'Gath. Then a guy locked Tahm Kench without telling anybody where he was going, even though we already had an Alistar support. Our ADC had locked in and left. This left me, a mid with no runes, summoner spells, or intentions of playing jungle, to frantically change all of it in the 10 seconds left in champion select. I chose to instead dodge. And now I'm typing this as I wait for a 5 minute queue timer to run out...

There's little reason to ever play Blind Pick once you own enough champs to draft. It's the wild west in there, these sorts of things will always be problems.

5 minutes wait to dodge a potential 15-20 minutes or more toxic fest is hardly what I would call a punishment.

Rito has to balance between preventing abuse and allowing people to escape such a situation so 5 minutes timeout is nothing.

Also, you should expect this kind of thing in Blind. If you want to play mid and refuse to play jungle, try draft.

Tbh this really should be a thing due to actually players wanting a good game they should have a chance of being able to dodge instead of wasting 30-50 mins of their lives with a bunch of trolls who will either int or dc.

Yeah you must be playing blind pick. The lawless lobby of league of legends. No complaining allowed. But yeah it should take more than one, the question is how much time is allowed to pass between dodges?
