This queue dodging is getting out of hand... how can it be improved?

So I've just been queueing for 35 minutes at 1400 ELO on EUW Solo Q and had 8 dodges and 7 declines/afk's in a row... Still waiting to get into a freakin game.

This is ridiculous, it makes it hard for anyone with any sort of time constraint to be able to actually play this game.

My question is how can this be improved upon? I personally preferred when people lost ELO for dodging and felt there were fewer dodgers back then, but obviously Riot didn't like that method else they wouldn't have changed it.

Any ideas anyone?
