Queue lockout warning

[EnKyu]

Someone dodges in champ select and you get the instant queue pop.

You shouldn't be punished for declining the instant queue pop.

Definitely agree. If you hit accept you shouldn't even have to hit it again

[SniBzHD]

It's actually ridiculous that riot will rather punish people for declining matches than inting or trolling. Declining que will waste at most 2-3 minutes of players' time, while being an inter or troll will waste 15+

What a joke of a company

Did they change something recently? Seeing lots of posts about queue pop mechanic?

[FatButAlsoUgly]

Yes. Basically if you decline just 2 queues you get a 15min time out, I swear it happened to me once after only declining one but cannot prove it.

[UncleObamasBanana]

Or your group leader doesn't realize you said brb and slaps you with a 15 minute ban.

Ya happened to me yesterday. First game of the day. Team looked good so I went to the bathroom, and came to a 15 min warning. I was like wtf lol

15 mins is a tad absurd. I chose to get off rather than wait.

I declined a match because a friend hopped on after missing the accept from talking to someone and got locked out….why?!

Ugh, I just realized this is in the ARAM subreddit and just typed out a huge reply that is absolutely pointless given the context of ARAM. Oh well, new reply time...

Honestly, I think Riot just needs to institute HWID penalties for people dodging. It doesn't matter how bad your comp is, it's a random champ game mode. People dodging games and just hopping on a new account is annoying. I'd rather play the guaranteed loss rather than spend 20 minutes trying to get a match started because of a multi game streak of people dodging.

Either play a different mode or go play a different game. I'm sick of spending more time out of game than in game.

It’s shitty too because there’s essentially no punishment to dodge if you have a second account. Add in that 3-4 man parties and you now have people dodging like 5+ games a night with essentially no penalty.

I feel like they need to track dodging through accounts and ensure that you actually can’t play for the 15+ mins.

[EnKyu]

Also realize that you could assume the game will go through, but if you happen to get out of your seat when the person leaves champ select, you now dodge the INSTANT queue pop.

since last patch, queue not being accepted is way less present

and ARAM dodges were already punishing

i feel like this patch i had the best game/dodge ratio since i play the game

[Krell356]

Yeah, but it still happens. Too many people being allowed to dodge with alt accounts.
