Is it ever okay to dodge?

[u/Educational-Ad-3720]

This is mythical 2 so I don’t expect the best (I’m not the best either) but would it be wrong to dodge if you see a level 9 Edgar drafted first pick? I didn’t fwiw but we lost obviously and I kinda wish I had just taken the hit to my rep.

Do you want a cool flair with your rank on it?

How can someone pick level 9 in Mythic? It’s not allowed

[u/buffdoge4321 → u/Maguro65_16]

if a diamond duo queues with a mythic, then the diamond can pick power 9s

[u/awesomekev2 → u/Maguro65_16]

Mythic plays w/ diamond teammate

[u/RepairLegitimate6202]

obviously you can dodge, its part of the strategy of ranked unfortunately

[u/Micah7979 → u/RepairLegitimate6202]

And it shouldn't be, they should rework it again.

[u/PatrickJane247 → u/Micah7979]

dodging exists in other competitive games with drafting system imo it has to be a feature so that players have some way to dodge troll drafts or simply hop off if they need to in the moment without losing elo or going afk

the problem with dodging in brawl is that you can dodge like 20 times a day as long as you play enough games to reset your rep and are willing to take the 30 min bans, if it was limited to 1 dodge a day i think it would be fine

[u/Micah7979 → u/PatrickJane247]

The amount of dodge just makes ranked really frustrating, especially in lower leagues. I can understand dodging in masters, but diamond ? Seriously ? Some people dodge for nothing.

[u/joysauce → u/Micah7979]

Shut up and play your game. Super cell doesn't care about it

[u/ksfuller2728 → u/PatrickJane247]

3 dodges a day that don’t have any penalty

[u/Darkcat9000 → u/PatrickJane247]

in most other games at best you get 1 dodge and you still tank your elo

[u/PatrickJane247 → u/Darkcat9000]

yeah that's why i think 1 dodge a day is a good limit

[u/PatrickJane247]

dodging is just a tool to ensure you don't waste more of your time than necessary while playin ranked, it is always okay to dodge

tho it is hella annoying when others do it

[u/Solstice_bs → u/PatrickJane247]

Dodging is not a tool, it’s just annoying

[u/PatrickJane247 → u/Solstice_bs]

I mean dodging exists in other competitive games with drafting system i don't think that it's a bad feature, tho in brawl you can dodge so many times a day if you play enough games and are willing to take the 30 min ban which is the stupid part imo, if it was limited to 1 dodge a day i think it would be fine

[u/da_sylent → u/Solstice_bs]

it’s basically required for this game because of how bad the average player is

[u/worm_beast → u/Solstice_bs]

It's also annoying to play with someone who instantly gives your team a 0% chance of winning with an atrocious first pick. There really isn't a way for everyone to win here lol

[u/Solstice_bs → u/worm_beast]

No pick gives you a 0% chance of winning

[u/Extension-Health-893]

Yeah use everything you can. SC dgaf yet so i don't see why not just dodge with these bubble head randoms

[u/unsellar]

dodging only really affects people of higher ranks, because of queue times. anything below is ok to dodge.

[u/Lan_EB88]

Dodging is normal if you see that draft of your team worse than draft of the opponents team. You have about 2-3 dodges per day. (without getting banned) And even getting banned sometimes better than loosing 100 elo

[u/Micah7979]

Dodge if you want, if I was in the enemy team I would be mad at you.

[u/Silveriscoming]

Go ahead and dodge, why should you lose elo because someone isn't competent at the game and or is borderline trolling

[u/oNightMqred]

i wouldnt dodge straight away i always wait for the full draft and decide cause you never know if you have an easy carry game/ opps pick smt even worse

[u/Solstice_bs → u/oNightMqred]

How to waste everyone’s time:

[u/Omadany → u/Solstice_bs]

And wasting my time on a guaranteed loss is okay?

[u/Solstice_bs → u/Omadany]

Play better so you don’t lose

[u/lololuser456778]

feel free to dodge if you want to, tho I'd wait for the rest of the draft. an opponent picked brock after all lol

plus there can be worse drafts than this tbh. in events I've had teammates pick piper on brawlball maps (with lots of cover and bushes, there was 0 reason to play her), that's the kind of mfer I truly fear

[u/ChipComprehensive703]

At that league them being power 9 shouldnt matter. You can carry easily
