I posted this 5 minutes ago, queued up, made it to the last ten seconds of champ select... and someone dodged. For the second time in a row.
It's going to take me 15 minutes to hit summoners rift, and this is a normal occurrence. How have we allowed and encouraged this for so long?
I just find it weird how the dodge timer is longer for ARAM than for SR. Make SR also 15 minutes and maybe it improves things
I think this change was done because there were more dodges in aram vs ranked. But the argument can be made that even though there is less dodges in ranked, the time loss can be greater due to how long draft phase lasts
Yup, iirc there were more dodges in ARAM because people didn't get a champ they wanted and they wanted to make a more punishing dodge timer.
I do think dodging in ranked should be the same as ARAM but I think it's in a better place then what it was a couple years ago.
Wait a second I recognize that username. Didn't know the Summit dev also played LoL. Lmk if you wanna play some ARAMs in EUW haha
If ARAM dodge timers were shorter people would try to get godroll teams more often because they can just go to the toilet in the 5 minutes, so I understand why ARAM is 15 minutes. I just find it funny that ranked doesn't also have 15 minutes at the bare minimum. 5 minutes feels like too little for wasting 9 others people's time for an entire draft and also dodging bad matchups to save LP simultaneously
I'd argue don't queue ranked if there's a slight chance you have to dodge for any reason, or at least extend the dodge timer after opponent bans are revealed so you can't dodge if your OTP is banned. Still waiting for that "quick play" queue as a replacement(?) to blind pick so I can skip the 5 minutes of drafting that happens every game before someone inevitably dodges
Unfortunately I am in NA 😔. I'm also the dev of https://lolcatalyst.idunnololz.com/
Wait
You're the same person I talked to a month ago about Catalyst here in this community, and now I'm spending too many hours a day on Summit to browse Lemmy
Talk about a crossover event. And I didn't notice...
It's ok. I just noticed you are the mod of this community LOL.
