Can A Red Answer Something About Queue-Dodging?

I don't want to make a long and whiny post, so I'll get straight to it.

Ranked, Normal, or ARAM, I can't start a game without going through 4-5 queue dodges, and this is generally after going through 3-4 rounds of drafting, or else with 10 seconds left on the ARAM clock. There is no sense of punishment for dodging queues, and it is becoming more and more rampant every week. I understand there being situations that are unavoidable, emergencies and whatnot where people have to leave, but that was the excuse being made for AFKs not long ago. It's frustrating having to wait 20 minutes to get into a game because people see a champion they want to play or don't want to play against or just want to troll around and make things more of a hassle.

There really needs to be a bump in the punishment for dodging, because apparently it means nothing right now.

Dodging just needs to count as a loss against your MMR (in poker if you fold you lose your ante and anything else you bet including blind), and change the penalty to A: only tick down when you're logged in, and B: Reset based on number of completed games, not for free after 23 hours or whatever the timer is. Resetting the penalty each day despite repeated abuse is ridiculous.

Yeah i agree with this post completely. Nothing is more annoying than when you get dodged 15 times in a row JUST because someone doesn't get their lane or someone disagrees with the champion you're choosing. There should be a harsher punishment than 5 minutes because it seems like it has no effect on anyone that does it.

Id rather have a dodge, than an afk or feeder. I dodge when things dont look so hot in the que (we may have two adcs, people already yelling, and other stuff) when someone dodges in aram it sucks, but I dont care if its ranked or normals.
