This is how you win solo ranked.

Loliking everyone in your team as soon as you enter.

If someone is playing a champ they've never played before. Dodge. If someone wasn't paying attention and picks the wrong lane. Dodge. If you get any negative feedback from a teammate before game. Dodge. If someone else paired with you has played less than 50 games. Dodge.

Always try to convince someone else to dodge first.

Cons: You can't dodge every game obviously and odds are you wont have many games where you will need to dodge. But this strategy saves you from wasting 45 min with a kid who goes 0 - 6 and leaves. Then laughs at you at game end.

Fix the matchmaking queue. Give us an option to dodge (at least 1 dodge opportunity per certain # of games)

Really, just don't play solo matchmaking and find a team

Quite the opposite. The way to win ranked is to never rage and never give up.

Yeah, this is more on track. Only time I'll dodge is when someone is clearly going to try and make us lose. And even then sometimes I'll just decide to practice my laning skill and help fast track that guy to a permaban. Mathematically your opponents are more likely to have someone on their team that will be a liability than you are (assuming you're not being a liability yourself). Trying to game the system isn't worth imo, just play.

Then people could abuse the free dodge by doing so merely on the basis of who is picked or banned.

Getting into a ranked game would also take forever because of all the dodging going on. You mean well by only allowing one dodge per certain # of game, but then multiply that by the millions who play LoL in the first place.

And your whole basis of winning is centered around the drafting section, not on your own game-play. Anyone can tell you how to play when you're 4v5.
