Nexus Blitz - Sometimes Surrender IS the Option

Cats Are Food··2 votes·1,801 views

I used to be a hardcore advocate of the idea of "Never Surrender." I still AM a hardcore advocate of Never Surrender in Summoner's Rift. Yeah, the snowball can be kinda sucky, but come on you -might- actually win.

However the snowball in Nexus Blitz can be quite intense. You should take a look at the Gold Gain graphs for these matches. Sometimes, when your team is somehow magically down by 16 kills by the first event, and four of you dive on a Lux and can't take her down without all dying? Surrendering is now the option.

Don't just sit in the game, banging your head on the wall, getting upset at the one person who just wants out of there.

Edit: Since there is some confusion about the first paragraph... if it is blatantly obvious we are going to lose, even in Summoner's Rift... I will surrender. I mean that half the population try to surrender after first blood, or when they fail a combo and the enemy gets a double kill.

actually the reason is because no matter how hard your team could be winning if the enemy team out comps you you lose via sudden death. just cause.

assuming you have the aptitude/skill to drag it out until then of course.

Well, yeah. That's an entirely different story, and I'm one of the jerks who votes no in that case. What drives me insane is when you've a premade on your team who, quite obviously, have never even tried Blitz before (or if they have,they only do the missions), and they look at:

Jax - Fed Zyra - Fed Lux - Fed Malphite (building tank) - Fed on assists Jinx - Fed

And pipe up "nah this is fun!!," while your own comp was just picked for fun and only stood a chance if comperably farmed. Invariably they start trash talking whoever is politely trying to talk sense into them, or the person trying to surrender.

Lmfao this is what you get for being a hardcore no surrender mentality. That mentailty sucks worse of rift bc a bad match of NB lasts 18 minutes, meanwhile 30-45 minutes later in rift.....

NB is no exception, some games are NOT worth dragging out and wasting time because there is a 1/1000000000000000 chance the enemy might make a fatal mistale and let you win.

Karmatic justice is awesome, and I wish upon you endless lost games of NB that wont surrender until you feel the despair you have brought countless others.

I think you utterly missed a huge point in a lot of this post. You also assume that I simply won't surrender in blatantly obvious situations where there is no hope.

Decided to try a couple games of this Nexus Blitz. It's pretty much what I expected, just another braindead mode where every game is won at champ select. If I wanted that, I would just play one of the other three game modes.

Bans In Here: Fiddlesticks, Jax, Yi, Brand, Lux, Neeko, Veigar. There are lots of broken champs in SR, but none are so broken in here as those. Once you get rid of those guys, the game actually starts to open up quite a lot and become more flexible.

there is absolutely no reason to surrender, especially in Blitz. in classic I can kinda understand. the game has gone on for 40+ minutes and it has been a struggle. I don't like it but I can see it. in Blitz games always last 20 minutes tops. there is no reason to surrender. you can sit through a 20 minute game and finish it properly.
