Remember guys, no game is unwinnable

So I just played a game as Syndra in which I became very fed. Fed enough to make my enemy laner ragequit. Fed enough to oneshot with two basic abilities. Fed enough that if I were playing Master Yi/Katarina, I could expect 40+ kills. My teammates did well too.

As the enemy team's two nexus turrets fell just after the 20 minute mark, four of my allies voted 'yes' to a surrender vote. Could Faker have carried that game? Could Bjergsen have carried that game? I don't know, but I am one salty dog.

Never surrender. Use that game while you are playing to figure out how you could have helped your teammates. Maybe they get an afk. Maybe they throw hard.

I don't think people read the OP correctly.

He's saying that after dominating the game and coming close to winning his team surrendered.

Games where you have brain dead teammates... yes, those games are unwinnable.

I'm sorry, but I rather surrender than waste another 20+ minutes for nothing? If it was ranked, then well... There is always another day.

More often than not, when you are so far down, you lose. it's simple as that. So your thread here is kinda obnoxious, and pointless to make. We already know you can comeback, but why the hell would anyone want to? Just take me to the next game.

You don't understand. THEIR nexus was one auto away. We had only lost a single turret. Then my four teammates surrendered. There never was a comeback, we stomped from the minute the game began

OK thanks I will make sure to test this and have me and a buddy go 0-20 each and then see if we can come back. I think a good 100 games of testing will show if its possible.

I'm sorry man. I really feel for you.

The only thing is if your teammates are willing to turn it around... on time.

But looks like there are more losing teammates than winning ones on your team, so it's pretty much RIP.

I feel ya.

so your saying that if they killed all our nexus turrets and aced us and that they have 5 people in our bases killing our nexus we can still win?

SteelMankindMay 3, 20161 votes

I do. That's exactly what happened to the enemy team, since my four teammates decided to surrender instead of last hitting the nexus.

In my opinion, the surrender button is the most toxic thing Riot ever put into a game. And this is the developer that put All Chat, Zed, and the Mastery Emote in the same game.
