queue dodge

Definition

Queue dodging is leaving the matchmaking queue before being placed in a lobby — usually instant and unpenalized. Players queue-dodge when they realize they cannot commit to a full match (interruption, change of plans). Queue dodging is distinct from lobby dodging (post-match-found) and game dodging (post-lock).

Example

"Queue dodged at 11:55 — partner went AFK." The player exited the queue before being placed.
