Dodger Dragon vs. Torrential Tribute

Hello everyone. I haven't really played Yu-Gi-Oh in a while, just got back into online the other day when I was bored. Today I was having a fun duel on here and I wanted to make sure I was correct. Of course, my opponent quit after arguing with me since it wasn't a rated duel. My opponent summoned Dodger Dragon so I activated Torrential in response since he had no set spell/trap cards on the field. He went on to say Dodger doesn't get destroyed. I said you're wrong, Dodger gets destroyed because Torrential doesn't negate the summon. He went on to say that it's the same thing. He quit before I could look up a ruling so I wanted to just post it on here. When I was playing back in the day, I was also a level 2 judge for UDE. I know I'm rusty, but I'm pretty sure I was correct on this one. Thanks for any and all replies.

Yup you were right.

Torrential isn't a counter-trap. That guy is blind.

traps like torrential tribute and bottomless trap hole doesnt negate the summon, only destroys the monster when it hits the field

just use the sticky next time it really helps in much cases
