My team vs enemy team: always same story.

i had 2 normals today, trying to get Xin to mastery 7, won both because enemy team almost ff'd at 15 both games. I noticed something: whenever the enemy team is losing, even if the score isn't that bad like let's say 24-10, somehow all 5 of them agree "alright guys this game is lost, even if it is winnable there's no point in tryharding in a normal where THERE'S NOTHING TO FIGHT FOR so let's ff and start a new game". They're rapid, quick, fast, efficient. What happens when i'm the one in the losing team on the score of 2-6598 for enemy team? I get AT LEAST 2 with the John Cena syndrome of "NEVER GIVE UP XD XD" that will take u hostage for 40 mins in a game that you will lose because it's lost at min 40 like it was at min 15, but wasting 25 more mins of no one having fun.

OMFG. I thought I was the only one. This is so fuckin true. I fuckin hate it when I pop off like going 4-0 in 6 minutes and they just ff at 15 before I could have my fun running amok all over the map. But when it's my team feeding, they never want to ff. I fuckin hate this so much.

Maybe it's the champions you play?

i.e. I find the same with my teams, but generally I think it's because I play tanks top and waveclear mid. So if I'm top, I can peel pretty well and the idea may be that we outscale since I'm a tank and if our ADC catches up we'll win. If I'm mid, the idea may be that if I don't get killed I can waveclear and stall long enough for our team to catch up and make the game a coin-flip on one fight.

That being said, I like it because I AM one of the players that generally doesn't want to surrender. More often than not I have time to queue for 1 game, I have an hour or so that I'm able to commit to playing. I don't queue for a game if I have less than an hour to play it out. So once you consider queue time + champion select + 15min to surrender - I generally don't have time for another game anyways. May as well do the best I can to win the one I have time to play out.

Why wasting 30 minutes to play an already lost game? In low elo (where I am too) you can't do anything against a, for example, fed jungler. The game is lost in most of the cases because you literally can't do nothing. I had a game where we could've won all our lanes, we started with a 5/0. But then suddenly the enemies Evelynn got 8/0 all alone in around 10 minutes, somehow my teammates died to her everytime. She god incredibly fed and threw the game in some minutes, she pushed her teams lanes, they destroyed the first 3 towers and the score was around 20:5 with 19 kills for Evelynn. I also think that she had 4 items while we only had 1 or 2. It was just impossible, so we surrendered.

Games like this happen very often, someone gets incredibly fed and not only stomps his lane but the whole game 1 vs. 5, so you can't do anything. It's better to just move on I think. :D

Yeah I hate these nimrods, that won’t just let it end. Specially when Im doing well, it’s like I don’t want to play you with you guys anymore please surrender. Even though I didn’t even rage them they still hold me hostage.

I thought i was the only one experiencing this. I dont think i’ve successfully ff’d a game in like a month but ive probably seen the enemy team FF 1/3 games i play.

or you could stay in your lane, farm, get flamed, get 1v2ed and depending on what champ you play win or die and then again win or lose.

If a game takes 40 minutes, then you had plenty of opportunities to win it. It’s not « the same as the 15 minute mark ». Don’t give up on games and you will win against more of those early snowballs. Furthermore, the enemy team probably tries to surrender just as often as yours and fails the same amount. You probably just don’t see it since you’re focused on the game.
