Anything that raises your MMR is "good" for you, anything that drops your MMR is "bad". Any difference in how they affect your league points is meaningless because if they affect your league points differently but affect your MMR identically, things will change in the long run to reflect that anyway. | ||

I don't see how that has anything to do with my point. Losing MMR is an incentive to not lose the game, yes. I'm not talking about MMR at all. I'm talking about league points. I imagine one or two people that play the game care about their league points. Whether they SHOULD or not is a different topic. If what you're trying to say is that the league system is stupid and you shouldn't give a shit about it at all, I agree with you. But that is completely irrelevant to the point I was making. It's a system that exists, and currently can put you in a position where you lose more points within that system for a dodge than you do for a loss, and that's really dumb. | ||

It SHOULD be more punishing to dodge than to lose. A loss is a loss, but in my mind, dodging is a kind of trying to game the system to avoid teams you don't like. It should be reprehensible to do so. | ||

Ya exactly this. Too many people get caught up in LP when it's entirely cosmetic. I regularly dodge games at least once a day when i run into someone I suspect to have a bad attitude, troll, or I don't get a role I feel like playing. The difference of the 10 LP loss for a dodge is always recovered as you approach your promotion series since your MMR is unchanged by a dodge. | ||

Then yes, I agree, you should always lose more LP for a dodge than for a loss. It's ridiculous that regular dodging even became a thing in the first place (thanks to Riot making dodges not lose Elo in S2). I don't even know if that's the case anymore (because Riot hasn't revealed the MMR formula, we don't know if dodges actually cause you to lose MMR), but the fact that people don't know means they're just going with the status quo from S2. | ||

As you play you accumulate a number of dodges, and if you use a dodge in ranked there's no penalty at all, you can just go right back to the queue. It's a legitimate thing that sometimes you run into a team in champ select that for whatever reason you just have no desire to play with. Riot has said they understand that, yet they still punish you for dodging. If they did it that way they could make an assessment of what percentage of the time they think people can be expected to legitimately dodge a game, and have you accumulate your available dodges at or a little higher than that rate. And then if you dodge a game past that by closing the client altogether, they could hit you with a real penalty then like a 1 hour queue timer or something. Edit: Also, I'm fairly positive that dodging does not affect your MMR. I tested this a couple of months ago by dodging about 10 games in a row and then winning one, and my LP went up way way more than it normally would. | ||

If you cared about league points then instead of dodging or trying to lose (which will be LP loss) you would then try to win the game (for LP win). You are talking about the edge case where you care about LP, but not enough to overcome some bias against your team/their team, which then it is favorable to lose than to dodge given a priori that you didn't want to play the game in the first place. This seems like a problem with the player than the system. | ||

I usually ask them what their second preferred role is and let them know I'll fill and then we win the game and I get honor. Pretty easy. | ||
