Remove Surrendering

You guys at riot are trying to promote a game that is all about fun with a community that strives towards that goal, yet you have a feature implemented in the game that is cause for people to just flat out quit trying and giving up.

How is quitting sportsman like activity? When was the last time you saw any team, in any game throw in the towel before the game was over?

in soccer? it doesn't happen in football? it doesn't happen in baseball? it doesn't happen in mlg? it doesn't happen

the list goes on and on and on and on

Sure teams may lose moral, or be down in the dumps, but what does a surrender feature do for anyone but promote negative behaviors and mindsets?

Every team in every game or sport ever plays till the end.

If a play wants to quit, they have the option to leave a match and take what ever punishment comes their way, but when you offer up a team the power to simply quit, it's just flat out countering everything you base your community for your game on.

Just because 1, 2, 3 or even 4 plays... hell even 5 players may be doing bad... why would you ever allow the ability to just quit in the middle of a game? why not make it a learning experience for people? learn how to play better or cope with the stress of losing better?

I have never once, nor will i ever agree to a surrender vote, and it should be abolished from this game.

Like i said before, if people are negative, let them deal with the consequences. Stop punishing people who want to play because other people have negative mindsets or cant grasp the game.

You don't see surrendering in major sports because it's a SPECTATOR SPORT.

They literally aren't allowed to surrender because of advertisement money and drinks and every thing like that.

It has nothing to do with sportsmanship.

LOL.....I'm tempted to ask if you ever played League of Legends. Or maybe you're a DIamond player. Regardless, play 10 game of League in Bronze and you'd see why surrender is necessary.

Getting rid of surrendering is the worst idea I have thought of for this new season.

With the new season and gameplay changes, it will get easier:

  • Longer death timers, shorter games
  • New season, new chance to move up

for a while games have been so one-sided, but I have noticed it's getting better. Hang in there.

Sure. I'll go make a bronze smurf, go 20-0 (since mathematically a plat has a 99% win rate against bronzes) and dance on the enemy Nexus while camping their fountain. Riot surely will not be mad that I'm driving people away from the game and surely will not be mad that I'm making it less fun for the biggest spending demographic.
