No Surrender

Guinkai··3 votes·388 views

Please make a game mode with no surrender in PvP Normal Blind Pick 5v5. I have lost more games (recently) due to other players surrendering than actual poor game play. It is extremely annoying when the enemy team gets a slight advantage and my team wants to surrender instead of trying to fight together as a team. Or when one player on my team is losing in lane, gets frustrated with him/herself and decides that the game isn’t worth playing anymore. It’s like: if they’re not winning they’re not enjoying the game and want out. Even better (or worse): if they’re not the MVP or carrying they want out. In my opinion, it will take them a lot longer to improve (if it’s even a goal of theirs). What would Worlds be like if the losing team surrendered 20 minutes in because one person is having an off game?

I like to study the mechanics of champions and other summoners in actual gameplay. It helps improve my overall team fighting, split pushing, in jungle, in lane, when/when not to go for baron/dragon, how long it takes with certain items to clear specific objectives, windows of opportunity (ex: how long it takes a champion to get from one area or lane to the next, or how long I have before their entire team is on me for taking an inhibitor), best time to teleport in, match ups, best escape routes from objectives, etc. I cannot fully analyze my overall performance and that of my teammates (and opponents) if a surrender is successfully executed 20 minutes in. I am lacking in late game data. Sure, I could study Youtube videos all day but there’s nothing like hardcore raw data; my own data. I love playing LoL (whether my team is doing well or not) but despise the surrender option. Please do something about this.

Thanks! Guinkai

Note: I understand the need for a surrender option. I don't want to completely rid the rift of surrendering. I am merely suggesting a No Surrender fight to the death of the nexus option.

I think it would be nice for there to be a way to know that my teammates wont be bitches, but I don't think it would make a whole lot of sense for there to be an entire que dedicated to No Surrender Vote.

It's an unfortunate part of the game.

I know what you mean. The other side of it is this: my team gets a few turrets down and is pushing into the enemy base. All of a sudden their nexus explodes. My team just spent the last 30 to 60 minutes earning our way into the enemy base only to win by a surrender vote. Idk about anyone else but for me it’s extremely anticlimactic and deflating. A major let down.

You may be right; they might not ever make an entire que for no surrender. However, it would be great if they did something for those of us who like to fight to the death of the nexus. Win or lose, surrendering is getting out of control.

I completely agree. I hate surrenders from either side. I think people should be honorable and just take the defeat if it is inevitable anyways. I don't think you get any better by just giving up when you feel like you're behind. Fight back and try and force them to make a mistake, then punish them for it. It still may not get you the win, but you will get better as a result.

I do think it may be better for them to tighten the rules on when surrender is possible. 20:00 is not a good enough threshold to determine if the game is worthy of surrender. If the enemy is pushing a second inhib and you have not taken any of the enemy's towers, .. yeah, you're probably going to lose.

I literally won a game that was 18-19 at 23min because we ace'd the enemy team. I was really disappointed.
