Surrender Voting.

Marshmellie·Jan 10, 2016·5 votes·575 views

I think in an effort to create a better community, surrender voting should not include the name of the person starting it. If you're having a bad game and maybe an argument of sorts or something happened in-game, players have the inclination to NOT end the game as they are already on tilt and feel as if they need to get back at the other player(s) involved. This could be unfair to the other players on that team. Maybe it would promote to a better community maybe not. It's worth a try though.

Happy Rifting!

P.S. Leave some thoughts if you don't support the idea I'd really like to know the reasoning! Thanks!

what's the point? 90% of the time the one who started the surrender vote is the one who is doing poorly or the one who has been flaming the entire game. Not really going to do much to make the community better since everyone already knows who is more likely to start the vote. Most of the time i see a surrender vote it's the exact same pattern every single time. Feeder? he started the vote. Flamer? he started the vote. Feeder AND flamer? no questions asked. Someone who gets mad because the vote didn't go through? wow i wonder who could it be!

90% of the time yeah....but there's the 10% time where inexperienced players don't understand the situation or the comeback potential due to late game scaling/plateauing of certain champs. I myself have only called for surrenders maybe....THREE or FOUR times and have agreed to maybe 10-15 out of THOUSANDS of games...usually due to a feeder, drop hacker, or afk and getting completely roflstomped in the process. Either way, if you're going to start the vote there shouldn't be any reason to hide unless you are trolling, farming IP, or just wanting to throw the game because you're not having a good one.

Thanks for the feed back! It is appreciated!

Thank you for the feedback and I understand what you're saying. Regardless of the situations, why prolong a situation because THAT person surrendered. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not play with someone while they are on grief mode. The point of this is not to HIDE the person but to stop the impulse decline votes.

You should always know who started the vote.

Can you elaborate? How come?

It is so you can report them if they start feeding because they didn't get their surrender vote to end the game because they're cry babies and didn't get their way. I've seen that type of player too much...we don't need more of them. If you're wanting to quit at least have the cajones to do it without hiding from your team. That's why its a vote and if you start the vote they should know that YOU started it. Its called good sportsmanship and respect for your teammates that don't want to quit. You joined the game, you should play it to the end or until the team decides to end it.

Thank you for your feedback I greatly appreciate the input! It's not about HIDING the player from being reported. If you KNOW who it is then there shouldn't be a problem reporting them. It's about the impulse decline votes on games that are seemingly unwinnable because of the situation the team was put on by the player(s).

That's actually not a bad idea

No...I'm sick of quitters. Surrendering has become a cancer to the game so much so people are starting surrender votes IN ARAM when WE'RE WINNING. You guys who want to surrender do so because of convenience which is a fair choice...the problem with that is you lose experience and great comebacks opportunities which DO HAPPEN. I get it...you don't want to waste time if your team has an afk or can't turn it around but instead of using that as a challenge you want to quit, and you don't get better, and you come and make threads like this trying to hide your identity when you want to surrender, which to me, is as cowardly as it gets. I have no respect for quitters of your ilk because you obviously have no respect for your teammates.

I actually agree with some of your opinion here! Thank you for the feedback. Maybe there would be a better way to go about it. Aram's don't last long so I don't even see why there would be a surrender vote on aram. That I agree. As for the rest, normals or ranked, being sick of quitters I don't see that as really a reason. I'd just play with friends if that was the case (which I do most of the time.) It's more promoting the stopping of impulse decline votes of people who are doing bad. I mean, we know who it is, it's not like you need a reminder. I'd rather people just walk away from a situation than continue the negative attitudes and verbally written infliction on to other players. I'm sure as you've seen before, players most of the time go on and on and on with the negativity.
