The point of this post is to make sure people understand the new dodging system.
Sometime between S9-S10, riot game made DRASTIC changes to the dodging system. But I don't think riot made an official statement.
This is the current dodging system for Ranked solo Q:
If you dodge a game, it will cost you -3 lp and ~5min wait time.If you dodge another game CONSECUTIVELY, it will cost you -10lp and 30min wait time.
However, if you play a game in between the dodges, your dodge will count as a -3lp and ~5min wait time.
Example : I just dodged because I got autofilled. Next lobby, I am on role so I decide to play it. I win/lose the game, and I queue up again. Get autofilled again? I can dodge again for only -3 lp.
This should be well known to everyone in league community to encourage dodging more, especailly in high elo. In masters+ , people don't dodge because they are afraid of losing -10lp and having to wait 30 minutes. This ends up ruining some other players experiences as autofilled players tend to be burden to their team. Please. Dodge more often and save yourself the lp, time, and toxicity from your teammates.
Edit : dodging also does NOT lower your MMR. If you dodge, the next game you play will give you more lp when you win, or lose less lp when you lose. Very important note.
Edit 2: REALLY happy to see that people are being informed about the new dodge system. Thank you all for reading.
