When it's time to call surrender and why it's not bad to do so.

I've seen plenty of players with a never give up attitude. Players who want to fight it out to the last man. The whole, Spartan's mentality. Fight to the last man and die to the last man. It's a very admirable quality to have. It means that you're positive and you want to keep on fighting on the off-set chance the enemy team gets cocky and throws.

But I really want to get this in. There are legitimately some moments, when you are absolutely, utterly, completely, truly and surely.... SCREWED. There's no light at the end of the dark tunnel. There's no sunlight at the end of the hurricane. There's nothing but death waiting for you. And sometimes, the best thing you can do is to accept death.

How can you tell if you're screwed? Look at the general team comp. Look at the CS, the KDA and the team morale.

If the enemy is stomping your team in every single place, chances are, you're not going to win. If there's salt and everyone is arguing, people are tilted, you're most likely not going to win.

If they manage to destroy an inhibitor and the timer says any number that's less than 20 minutes, ooooh...that's gonna be a rough one....

If they manage to destroy an inhibitor at 12 minutes or less. Dear god, just turn off your PC and sit in the corner and contemplate your life decisions, because somewhere in your past life, you must have drowned a bag of kittens and now has come for your soul.

But seriously. Sometimes there's nothing more frustrating then being held hostage by a duo/triple/4-man queue that refuses to accept that they're being bent over and violated by the enemy team. There are just times when you just need to just let the game end so you can move on to the next one.

Now I'm not saying that if you're losing, surrender every game. Because that's just silly. If you have a late game composition and you see the KDA is only about 5-10 point difference, but your team is ahead in CS and objectives, you fight that game out.

Even if you lose a team fight, accept that you're gonna lose an objective and learn from the mistake and fight back to position.

But there's a difference between fighting an uphill battle and having the entire hill dropped on your head.
