Champ bans leading to accidental queue dodge

FreeVolibear·Nov 16, 2016·1 votes·904 views

So basically I dodged a game because time ran out while I was doing a quick search in another window . I took the penalty and have no complaint for that as I should be watching the screen. A second queue dodge came because my champ was banned by someone on my team while "not paying attention" and I only noticed it at last second and scrambled to select another support. Time ran out and I got penalized. Would it be a good idea to add a few seconds bonus time (maybe 5 seconds) in the case of your champ being added to the ban list? Either that or maybe have a penalty reduction when that specific scenario occurs? Any thoughts?

I mean you could you know pay attention next time. You really only have yourself to blame since you seem to do other things than paying attention in champ select. I mean I don't get why you need more time that you already have just because you aren't using your time wisely!

Have either of you read the comment in its entirety before commenting? It's really quite a simple thing to read the whole post. I mentioned that the first time I was distracted. So I made no complaint about that. The next queue I watched my champ get banned literally right before my pick. I was Support and I have several supports and I even discussed briefly with the adc which support he wanted. The troll ahead of me banned my pick and claimed he didn't see (it was blitz, but he was mad because the other team banned his pick and I think he was trying to force a dodge). I had the selection time remaining to A: Think "did that really just happen?" B: Ask the adc what other support he would like C: Look for another support to select... oh wait, I just got a queue dodge when time ran out. Thanks for that.

maybe the queue dodge penalties will remind you to keep an eye on the client

Did you actually read the post? I was watching the client!

League is not built with distraction in mind. You join a game and you actively watch the lobby. Anything else is irrelevant and rightfully so. Anything you do besides watch the client is on you. We are lucky Riot's queue pop physically open leagues in front of most other programs. They didn't have to do that.
