Dodge Tracker: A Gamer's Best Friend

If you play ranked League of Legends, you have probably seen a lobby close during champion select because someone left. That is a dodge, and it costs the player who left some LP and a queue lockout. A dodge tracker is a website that tries to list those dodges so you can look them up.

What is a dodge tracker?

A dodge tracker is a third-party site, not a Riot tool. Most of them work by watching the public ranked ladder for LP drops that happen without a game being played, then listing the player, the region and the time. Because they depend on what the public ladder shows, coverage and accuracy differ from site to site and region to region, and some only track the higher ranks.

What you can use it for

• Check a lobby: If a player in your champion select dodges often, you can expect more lobbies with them to close early.

• Check yourself: If you dodge a lot, a tracker shows how often it happens and how much LP it has cost you.

• Spot patterns: Some players dodge on purpose to protect a promotion or avoid a bad draft. Seeing that history helps you understand what is going on in your games.

Limits to keep in mind

A tracker only sees what the public data shows, so it can miss dodges or show them late. It also cannot tell you why someone left: a player may have dodged a troll pick, lost their connection or simply had to leave. Use it as a hint, not as proof.

How to use one

Open the tracker site, pick your region and search for the summoner name or Riot ID you want to check. Look at how recent the dodges are and how many there are. If a site asks for your League of Legends password, do not use it: looking up dodges never needs your login.

Conclusion

A dodge tracker is a simple way to see who has been leaving champion select. It is useful for context, as long as you remember it is an unofficial tool with incomplete data.
