Who started this whole "NEVER SURRENDER" mentality?

I see this a lot in bronze and it doesnt make sense to me. If they have a high gold lead and kill lead (like 45 to 10) type of thing, yet its like this unanimous NEVER SURRENDER!1!!!!!!1 like why? And where di that come from? Because that type of idiocy needs to go

See, heres the thing. There is only 2 ways to have a 100% chance of defeat. The first is the enemy killing your nexus. The second is the team surrendering.

Ive won games that the enemy had 20+ kill lead because of backdoors. Ive won games when it got to late game when the team gold advantage doesnt mean anything, because once the teams get to the point where everyone is level 18 with full build, it is just a matter of who gets lucky or who can end it. Ive had a game where my team had 3 people that tried to surrender and i chose no. The 5th person didnt vote yet. I was the last one alive vs enemy team. I was playing Old Mordekaiser. The enemy Yi got cocky and came at me, died, got ghosted, then i proceeded to take out the rest of the enemy team. My team respawned and the last person on my team voted no. They proceeded to kill the enemy team and win the game with me just sitting and defending the base since the inhibitor was up, but there was no nexus turrets left.

You want to try saying its idiocy? The only idiocy is making sure its a 100% loss. Even with you feeding because you didnt surrender at 20 minutes..... Boo hoo. That makes it so YOU are the only one to blame for the loss. You give up, then you can not blame the team.

Flaming happens when the people who give up and want to assure a 100% loss blames the team for the loss. It happens when people only care about themself and be self centered saying that their time is more valuable than any of the other 9 people in the game.

Flaming happens when people stop thinking. Period.

It's people like you that make me want to smash my head into a wall.

And it's people who necro threads for pointless comments that make regular forum users want to smash their heads into walls.

If you're going to necro a 2 month old thread, at least bring something worthwhile to the conversation.

I don't surrender because 50% of the time the guy asking to surrender is the reason we're considering it. I will occasionally if we just got outplayed, or we had an AFKer. But most of the time, I've had insane comebacks.

Trying to figure out who started it is a fruitless endeavor. At best it is some far flung old competitive league player, at worst you will be digging through thounsands of years of ancient civilization's battle tactics.

No idea but it just leads flaming and me pretending not to feed when those no surrender votes go in.

lmao my team can have 90 something deaths with 3 kills and 1 tower left but doesn't surrender

I can understand where you're coming from when the team is at 10 kills and they the enemy is at 45.

But in retrospect, I've had teams where we were 20 and the enemy was at 12 and they were trying to surrender.

Like really?

Quite the irony since Japan has the most high ff rates in all servers. I'm Japanese and played in that server but we don't commit ritual harakiri for who fed master Yi, or running down mid all 5 for the glory of the Shogun. Nah, we also dont Kamikaze in the enemy team using Korki ZIlean duo bot. Sad facts you know.

It was me . . . I time traveled back into the beta before launch and started the trend.

Generally, I only cast the surrender vote when the game stops being fun.

If I'm losing, but the game hasn't gone to unfun levels of getting stomped, then I will generally keep playing.

Personally, I feel like some people have become obsessed with surrendering, because they see a losing match as a waste of their time, and would rather just prep for the next one. I on the other hand, do not see a losing fight as a waste of time, as long as I'm enjoying myself, I will keep playing.
