I'm getting really tired of being held hostage in games by toxic teammates saying no
I used to be the kind of person who would never want to surrender games, and back in the day comebacks happened all the time (probably too much even). However, if the other team has 20+ kills at 15 minutes and several towers and your team has less than 5 kills there is literally no point to keep playing the game. It's not fun, your team can't leave or they might get punished, but people still do it anyways. I guess people who like making others miserable feel accomplished making you stay in the game up to 10 or even 15 minutes after you can initially surrender even if you're just dying to the enemy team over and over on repeat.
In the last week I would say I've had 2 or so super hardcore comeback games but those are games where the other team is smashing in the 30 to 40 minute range, if the other team is so ahead early there's nothing you can do.
In the same last week, I would say I've been held hostage by a salty boi who won't surrender at 15 or toxic premades who won't even surrender at 20 for probably 2 to 3 hours of total gametime, and that's a conservative estimate. That's time I could spend on other games or doing other things, but the only way to avoid these shitty game states from happening in like 75% of my losses is just to not play. It's not okay to have to pretend to wholeheartedly try to win even though the second the enemy team appears on your screen you instantly die, and this sucks even worse when your teammates who refuse to surrender (and by the way are usually doing the worst on your team) just spam ping you and tell you you're trash.
If the game hits like 20 minutes it actually starts to get fun as late game strategies roll in but the issue is that most games are either literally over or decided by 20 minutes. I miss late game, I miss comebacks, and I miss feeling like I'm having fun win or loss. The game isn't fun if you're losing right now unless it's a real late game nail biter, and if you're winning it's not even that fun because instead of solo stomping and feeling like a carry you just have to follow your team around and roll through turrets and get picks.
This problem probably isn't going to get resolved anytime soon either because my favorite role jungle is getting absolutely shit on with the dumbest nerfs imaginable next patch and the big mid-season update seems to have been split into two parts. I don't want to be forced to play junglers who can fight off other junglers for crabs, I want there to be some strategy besides a scuttle coin flip but oh well, fighting for crabs makes LC$ more exciting so they have to do it I guess. Strategy has been systematically removed from the game over time but jungle has felt pretty good and diverse with lots of ways to play but I guess they finally got around to making it less diverse and fun as well.
, and after that the account almost exclusively used what? Oh Right. Ornn.... Evelynn.... Zoe..... What happened with those champs?
