Counter-Surrender Results in Loss for Winning Team

Hagenator··2 votes·391 views

Enemy team surrendered, then my team started our surrender vote after seeing them agree to surrender in chat. My allies all voted yes to surrender.

As the camera panned to the enemy nexus to spell victory for us, the camera did a switcheroo and went 100 mph towards our nexus and spelled our defeat.

Can I have my LP back?

This is by design.

But I've never seen this incredibly frustrating practice used in a Ranked game.

I would submit a ticket to support to see what they do about it.

I'm curious why you think this is by design. I believe it's an oversight in the code, but you're implying they intended for it to be this way. Why would that be?

Think of it like stacking spells in magic the gathering, If your instant is at the top of the stack it resolves first. if you dont play magic this will make 0 sense and I'm sorry for being a nerd.

That sucks dude, I'm not sure what could be done about that, I guess you could submit a support ticket and they might fix it for you, but it's kind of a super rare edge case.

You guys are dumb. Don't know what else to say...

I would guess it's one of two things: They surrendered 4-0 and you surrendered 5-0? So it decided you would lose instead since they were technically waiting on one vote, even though the outcome was predetermined so you saw the result. Or the game just always causes you to lose in that case if the defeat screen doesn't come up before the game would start panning to your nexus.

Either way - you all voluntarily surrendered. So you lost. No one made you do it.

I did not hit yes or no, the rest of my team hit yes out of blind excitement over having won the game.

We did not lose. This is a bug.

Don't argue for the sake of arguing, it's immature and reflects poorly on your character.

I'm not arguing for the sake of arguing. I mean - look at my post, I offered ideas on why the unexpected behaviour may have happened. I don't think it was a bug, it's just unexpected behaviour because the situation should never arise (why would both teams want to surrender?). I'm arguing because I think your teammates were dumb. In your original initial post (or perhaps just the way I quickly scanned it, maybe it was my fault there) it implied you voted yes as well. I apologize that I misunderstood that and lumped you in with that - obviously I sympathize with your situation and think your teammates are trolls.

Nonetheless, your teammates were dumb and you weren't able to carry a 1v9. I don't think it's a bug. No one should be so dumb as to surrender because they're about to win. That's just dumb - why are you (I mean they here, not actually you) trolling so hard?

"We did not lose." The game begs to differ. You did lose. You sound exactly like the "Trump isn't MY president" people. Yes, it sucks that you lost because you entirely deserved to win that game and lost through absolutely literally no fault of your own. You still lost though, your team surrendered. I've had teams force surrender 4 votes to my 1 on games where I was quite fed and was practically certain I could carry (like literally my first death at 30+ min and I'm like 12/1/3 and strong enough to 1v3 anyone on the enemy team but my first death they get an inhibitor and my teammates who are all behind vote to surrender). Obviously yours is more extreme (you literally would have certainly won if not for the surrender) but they still surrendered before you won.

Stop trying to defend a lost argument with paragraphs of hyperbole. Being stubborn and argumentative will get you nowhere in life. You clearly have very serious mental issues that you need to address.

You're literally attacking my character and claiming I have mental issues because I disagree with you. Right. I'm the one that's not going to get anywhere in life...

I think it's whoever's nexus blows up second (once a nexus blows up the game is over).

Here's a thought. Don't be stupid in ranked. Don't dance around the enemy nexus, don't surrender at the end. Don't chase kills across the map through an unwarded jungle.

It's all common sense.

I wasn't stupid, I didn't vote. My team decided to all hit yes at the same time out of excitement over having won the game.

And that makes absolutely no sense, whoever's nexus dies first is the one who lost the game. Anything else is a bug.
