Please, for the love of God, Riot, please get rid of surrender in ranked. It has absolutely no place in there. I have lost quite a few games because the rest of my team thought it would be funny to surrender when we were only down a couple of objectives and a couple of kills.
Ch0c0lateJesus6 votesNo,
Sorry I personally have a real life and dont care to spend 10-20 minutes of it in a 4v5 or a game with trolls who feed on purpose and refuse surrender.
Remove surrender votes and afk rates will tripple.
Omnem Occido2 votesHonestly, if you have the time to play a game of League, there isn't anything going on in your real life for the next 40-50 minutes, so...
I am solely talking about ranked anyways. If people want to afk in a ranked match, then they will suffer for it. More besides, anyone who would afk in a game is never useful unless the afk was as a result of external forces (outage, loss of internet service, etc.).
Legostrike3 votesplease no. Surrender needs to be buffed, as soon as the score is 20-40 and we're pushed back to our base in all lanes, we've lost, and I don't want to spend another 20 minutes in a lost game. make surrender majority please.
FyshinaTux2 votesThe game isn't lost in that scenario, when the enemy team comes back with Baron, THEN it's lost...
Baron Buff is too good right now imo, particularly the minion buff.
Legostrike1 voteswhich, to be fair, is generally inevitable if the enemy team has any brain. We can't contest it because we're down a man defending from superminions or we just can't teamfight them.
fuzzybunny001 votesMinion waves = safe farm Failed baron = losing team can take over momentum, potentially for endgame push
Sukishoo2 votesSurrender just needs a buff to be a Majority Rules not the 4v1 crap that it's at. If it's 3 yes to 2 no, the YES should win the vote.
Leblancs Boob2 votesIts funny because i feel the opposite. In ranked everyone is trying to win don't forget that, but if you're team is 5-28, don't be that guy that votes no to a surrender vote. No one likes to have their time wasted and even if I'm in promos I will surrender if the game seems hopeless. Honestly I would like the surrender vote to be 3-2 means that your team surrenders. While i will never afk or quit if my team says no, I will hate them for forcing me to stay in a game that is lost
fuzzybunny001 votesIt takes more time to surrender and start a new game than to finish a game for the chance to win. Most likely if you surrender a game, then somebody won't be able to play another and it forced to only have a loss (intentionally chosen by teammates) that day.
Finishing a game takes 10-20 minutes. Starting a new game takes 10-15 minutes.
If someone doesn't have a full hour+ after you surrender to commit to a new game, then the person who actually wanted to play the game is being penalized in multiple ways.
Omnem Occido1 votesThis. These previous posts are PERFECT example why surrender should be eliminated from ranked.
They are quitters. They see a daunting task and they fold underneath of it. People who play ranked should go in understanding that not every game is going to end well for them. Yet people are so focused on not playing a game where they aren't winning at all times, they'd give up as soon as they can, just so they can get into a game where they can maybe, possibly, have a perfect game.
The hardest part of League is playing from behind. It requires 100% precision and effort, making perfectly calculated decisions and calls. When there are afks, it requires the most of you as a player to make up for it. It's insanely difficult, but it makes you so much better. It is this understanding of the game that makes me question people who would rather afk/surrender. You are so dead set on the fact that you are going to lose, why not use the time to practice your skills?
And for those who quit and surrender when games that are lopsided: have you ever seen an epic comeback? Have you ever been a part of one? Have you ever made a play that turned the course of the game in your favor at a critical moment? My guess is no, you haven't. You probably have given up before you were able to make that play. No game is a loss until the Nexus goes down, and until then, anything can happen. Someone on the other team could misplace an ult, or get caught out, or miss a Baron smite, or be split pushing when there is a team fight. It is this mentality of "be ahead in the game at all times or it's a lost cause" that drives me up a wall.
I never vote yes for a surrender. Ever. I have played a 2v5 once, and I played it until the end. My teammate and I both went 7/2/5, and we even destroyed 2 towers. We outplayed the enemy team, they just were able to split push and win because we didn't have the numbers to match them. We played well, and we had fun. The enemy team all honored us for playing it out, for giving them a heck of a fight. That is what it means to play with pride. I take pride in a loss, because I know that I never gave up.
I can't count how many 4v5s I have won because of solid play. I guarantee you though, 90% of the people in my ELO don't understand that you CAN win a 4v5. I just hope I can play with that 10% like me who do, because they are so much more fun.
Legostrike1 votesI understand the idea man, I really do, but the thing is that if the enemy team is massively fed and I want to, say, practice my audition song for a chorus I want to join, then I really don't want to be playing a lost cause to improve my skills in a game, ranked or no.
