[2020] Dodging games is not a problem

Over the next few months, we’re going to slowly tune up the penalties for repeated champ select dodges:

Increasing the “repeated dodge timeout” so that we catch more egregious cases where players are dodging constantly

Amping up LP penalties for dodges (current is -3 for first dodge -10 if repeated)

Dodging is not a problem, the problem is THE REASON why people are dodging. People are not dodging for fun or just to ruin other players experience, people dodge games because they feel threatened by other players, people dodge games because they are being held hostage by other players, people dodge games because they got matched with streamers who FORCE them to give up role for their sake.

Do not amp up LP penalties for dodges but instead look into the issue why people are dodging in a first place. Do not turn the blind eye to the fact that the problem lies elsewhere and suggested solution will turn out to be even more frustrating for the players.

Instead of punishing players for dodging games make them feel secure enough so they don't have to dodge. People are not doing this for fun. They just don't want to waste 20-50 minutes of their time because of some soloq teorrirst clown.
