Defeatism In League Of Legends

I just played a game in which my team surrendered at 27 minutes in when the score was 18-24, not the best score, but nothing to ff over. I'm not one of those players that won't ff under any circumstance, I'll accept that a game is lost, but when the score is 18-24 there's no reason to ff, why would you ff a perfectly winnable game? No one on the enemy team was unstoppable.

I don't know if my team was premade or not, but they were certainly all like minded defeatist. Defeatist - A person who surrenders easily or is subject to defeatism.

Chat Player: ff please Team: Okay

Me: -18 LP

It's bad enough that I have to actually beat the enemy team, I don't need my own fucking team randomly surrendering a perfectly winnable game.

I bitch and moan about champions being op all the time, I might be right or wrong about their balance, but they're just my opinions, but like hell is being put on a team of defeatist who ff when we're not far behind an acceptable way to lose. You don't even really lose, it's basically the same thing as queing up and randomly having 18 LP taken from your account without playing the game.

I would say add "Defeatism" as a report option, but we all know reports don't do anything.

TL;DR Fuck Defeatist

A big part of my game is punishing mistakes. I'm almost always in favor of forcing the enemy to try and close out their win. The only time I surrender is when the game is so far gone we can't even make them pay for their misplays. Even then that's only when my team has lost the will to fight. I prefer to use the time to at least get some practice reps in.

Oh god, you can't report someone for having a different opinion of the game state than you have. (Or are you going to let people report for "Delusionist" or "Baronist" or "AFK Ricefarm Junglist"?)

Here's the thing about us filthy surrender voters: If we're losing and the team keeps doing the same thing, why should I expect anything different to happen? If you want to convince me that we can come back, HAVE A PLAN!

Einstein said it well: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
