Similar to how it's unethical to use a script to keep track of jungle timers but when Riot added jungle timers to the game it's no longer unethical
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.
Their motives are irrelevant. By adding jungle timers, Riot is saying "using jungle timers is an acceptable way to play the game".

You're playing the "dodge bad teammates to play League" mini game, the interesting mechanic that players introduced by being dicks (or picking champs they're utter trash with, or a combination of both)) that requires you to wade through the bad players to actually be able to play on the ranked ladder. It's not no longer playing league when doing this is a prerequisite to playing league.
Also, the fact that Riot allows for at least 1 queue dodge with such a minimal loss means it's a legit and ethical strategy up until it inflicts punishments for doing it too much (the best analogue I can think of is the tilt mechanic in pinball).
On another topic, any help with that pvp.net patcher kernel not responding issue I brought up last page?
P-EDIT: So by adding a "X-time minimal loss dodge" to the game, Riot is saying that queue dodging in the short term is an acceptable way to play the game?
Thanks for defeating your own argument!
PE2: Also, that.

Then dodging is okay. I wasn't aware of those notes

I mean, Riot provides in-game voice comm through garena talk, so it's clear they approve.

That's like saying littering is okay because you "only" get fined $100 to do it! Just the fact that Riot implements a timer would suggest they disapprove!!!
Also, it's not a prerequisite to playing League. You can just play with those players.

I read the patch notes. That means queue dodging is ethical now, so I guess it's okay to start doing it.

its so infuriating
AP Xin hasn't been viable, much less even worthwhile since pre-season 1, I think? Definitely pre-S2.

Xin Zhao top on the other hand is pretty strong for climbing out of bronze

idk when was the last time you played in bronze, but right now, everyone I play with in any game immediately ints if they do poorly within the first 5 minutes of the game.

Which is everyone because its fucking bronze.
Um, I just wrested an account from the depths of bronze 5 all the way up to Silver 1 while carrying A LEGIT BRONZE 4 PLAYER all the way to silver 5 because I liked the cut of his jib. My brother from another mother, the flying french polynesian, limosine ridin' jet flyin' volibear supportin' genius that he is. It was a big fun time.
And I do this every year. I take a hiatus after the reset, I get my 2 main accounts to gold for rewards while duoing with my best buddie, the toxic one, the fucking curse of montezuma himself, dan "the bitz" bitz. Then I spend the rest of the 9 months or whatever boosting every angry bronze player I know that "belongs in silver" all the way from the bottom of the bottom to the middle of the pack just to embrace the hilarious anger of their trip back to bronze 1 in which I quickly rectify the situation then tell them not to play ranked until next year. So, I basically play bronze games 9 months out of the year. I am the foremost professional at getting out of bronze. If you can't hamfist your way through bronze, you suck. That's just the bottom line man.

ok, is the objective of when ur playing league of legends to accumulate lp, or to play a video game?
u will absolutely end up wherever ur skill lies, regardless of what methods you use. grinding games and playing odds is not fun guys, just go play poker if u want a math rush
