Dodging: Why it's a good "trump card" to utilize for ranked solo que.
Dodging is one of the most underrated mechanics of the game but it saves you from playing 30 minute games you know you won't enjoy. If you're forced onto roles that you're uncomfortable in, its a positive way to protect your ELO without affecting the 4 other players in champion select. The trade-off is that you lose some LP but its way less than you normally would lose if you lost a game. You only lose 3 LP for the first dodge and 10 LP for the second dodge and this resets everyday. Dodging does not affect your MMR and can be used to help you get back into your series/promos if your current series looks unfavorable.
