Dodging the bad ARAM setup and laughing.

Cows with AK47s··2 votes·861 views

Have you ever pressed play, thinking this was a sure way to get into a game, and get to the killing?

Well think again.

Problem: With the current player-pool seemingly consisting of 90% tweens and what do they do if faced with something they are not perfectly happy with and can not "LoLROfLpwNn00bs"?

They dodge. Again. And again. And again. I sat one night and had to click accept over 20 times. After playing the following game, another 12 times to get the next match. This is not cheating per se, but it is removing the whole point of "aram". You have got three options, you play what you got, trade it up or use a reroll. Why is there a 4th option called "dodge and keep doing it til you are happy with the 'random' pick you get"?

Solution: 15-30 minute bans from queuing, steadily increasing in this scenario: 15. 30, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, etc. The account is then flagged. The next ban is waiting to trigger for 1-2 days.

Anyone? Do you agree?

*Declines trade request The queue was dodged

many of the dodger simply have multiple accounts so a time limit increase might not mean much if they get the champ they want on an alternative account

If this is in store for all their accounts as they start dodging, having multiple accounts won't matter. They will eventually rack up hours of cooldown periods. It's hassling the people who hassle others.

Well 15 minutes is a bit long, but they could have scaling timers up to like 30 minutes or something for dodging ARAM, and then mark the account down so when they dodge X amount of games for ARAM, they get moved to a lower priority queue or something

What? Not it's not lol

Timers for dodging ARAM should start off harsh, otherwise they are pointless. I'm against massive penalties but they should definitely make dodging count as a loss for MMR, to keep habitual dodgers from raising their MMR to extreme levels artificially.

yeah, but what if the servers are bad that day or your wifi connection got cut? should you be penalized 15 minutes for something outside of your control?

Yes?

Why is this even a question?

Just because it is beyond your control doesn't mean you shouldn't suffer the consequences, else it will be abused by everyone with the excuse of "it wasn't my fault".

So if someone has an hour to play LoL you want to fuck them over because their wifi was iffy for one minute? Also do you really think that the person who wants to dodge doesn't have multiple accounts?

No it's not. It's more of a hassle to legit players that they have to sit and click accept that many times. If you're not going to play aram, why even queue up for it?
