Surrender at 15 was the biggest mistake Riot has ever made.

Now people think it's OK to dick around 5 minutes in if they don't like the way the game is going and force the team to surrender at 15.

I am on my third loss in a row because of behaviour like this and it's completely unacceptable. What the hell is going on? Why do people think that it's OK to troll a game simply because you can surrender earlier now?

Its a simple case of a good thing being abused.

Chocolate is a pretty good thing, but someone with an air-canon shooting mars bars through your window at 100km/h is not a good thing.

You cant blame the chocolate factory for what happened. You need to blame the person that trolled.

No. We can totally blame riot for this. They have succumbed to the trolls and the weak willed who cried constantly about wanting shorter surrender times. The game has turned into a snowball fest or surrender at 15. People give up when they feed hard and cause a snowball so they want to surrender even faster now. The state of the game is very poor right now and its because we catered to the weakest willed people who cried incessantly about shorter surrender times, easier towers, higher damage, and faster matches. You know what has all that? Counterstrike.

So we let the counterstrike people dictate our once beautiful and deep strategy game into the snowball fest its become....and you wonder why people are 'abusing' the 15 surrenders...its the same people who will ask for 10 minute and then 5 minute surrenders...and then cry and whine for no towers which used to be a key element in the strategic play of the game. Now they are a bad joke...and riot has let it happen because they don't care about a quality game anymore.

Considering this...SURRENDER VOTES should be a stat added to your profile and should be seen by your teammates when entering a draft. There should be a penalty for surrendering in ranked but because there isn't...its abused just like feeding, dodging, tanking, etc. I don't play ranked because I can't take playing with the poorest mentally skilled individuals playing solo in a team game. I'd much rather join a ranked team but don't have the time to commit. Still, I'd much rather the option to surrender be completely removed but that would lead to a flood of afks.

I didn't really have a choice when he wouldn't stop feeding and trolling screaming at us to surrender or he'll run it down mid. Not that you'd know this either but I voted no the first time and it only made everything worse.

Honestly wish instead of making it fifteen minutes in they went the other way and just removed the option completely. Surrendering is the most pointless thing in this game. A game is always winnable and people are such children and just want to give up it's so annoying. Especially in ranked if you are counting on a win and people want to ff at twenty and throw the game and it blows your promos.

Even if every game is winnable, some are just so unpleasant that winning isn't worth putting up with it anymore.

I know its unpleasant but in ranked it should be disabled in norms i feel its perfectly acceptable to surrender the match doesn't matter, but in ranked its not fair that you have to give up lp just because people ruin the game for everyone.

....I think surrender at 15 min is a cool feature. And it's not like it's a big problem for those that want to stay in the game. Just one person has to say 'no' and then you cant surrender for a while, rather than a 4/5th vote.

People are voluntarily dropping down the ladder. While I, who was stuck in bronze V, am rising because the trolls have gotten their largest desire: To be able to ignore their team.

Bronze V will no longer be the land of low skill and stupid-high ping, but the land of ping muting and giving up at 5. Hey it was already a land of muting from what I could tell. I just carried a 4v5 because our team was communicating while theirs was...well.
