Riot stated in another thread that dodging ranked will no longer lose you elo, instead there will be "another form of discouragement" that has not be revealed yet.

3) Intentional Queue Dodging in Ranked to lower their Elo to stomp low Elo players [6/13/2012]
This will be changed in the next patch.
Did you share what will be the fix? Curious how you even go about fixing that cause (tbh) I'm not sure how without removing the elo loss penalty which is prolly one thing keeping people from dodging who are trying to raise the rankings.

That would be nice... played a ranked last night and there was about 150 ELO difference between our first and last pick duo queues. Sadly, they both blew, and we got stomped.
