Regarding the Nemesis Summoner Icon

Mr Fizzlesticks·Jan 20, 2015·3 votes·1,839 views

I don't think this icon is the best idea. There are so many times I have had the client completely lock up, crash, or glitch out during champ select and I think it would be incredibly annoying if I, or anyone else, were to lose the icon due to the client bugging out. I never actually dodge matches, except in ranked if I get people griefing over past matches, but I get plenty of issues with the client sending me back to the main menu instead of the champ select screen followed by error messages and then a dodge penalty.

The only "fix" I can see would be to make it that if the dodge occurred before any champions were selected. Otherwise though, there's no difference between an intentional dodge or a 'client dodge'. It would be impossible for them to differentiate and they're trying to prevent dodging.

If your client is dodging on you, you should probably try to look more in to WHY that's happening (if it doesn't happen to everyone, which it doesn't, the problem is on your end and not Riot's).

Although I agree with your sentiment, that firewall error is still a thing. It also doesn't help that a bunch of people were having DNS issues while launching the client a few weeks ago. It's not unheard of for connection and client issues resulting in dodges or leaves to be outside player control. Although normally these issues are rare enough to be manageable, having an actual reward be denied by a single chance occurrence is a valid concern.

Edit: Hrm. In a separate comment, l4t3ncy stated that repeated leaves are the disqualifying factor, rather than a single leave. Little different than the initial "any leaves or dodges" wording. Glad to know they accounted for random hiccups though.

I actually just had a game where my client didn't accept any comands suddenly (just when they gave me elise....) and my time run up without me picking cause of that. When restarting my client it showed a warning and repared itself, but I guess I have to say goodbye to that Icon.... edit: and no, it was the first time that happened to me.
