Remove the Surrender Option

Brets··2 votes·770 views

I think riot should remove the surrender option. Too many game could be win but because of 1 toxic player people give up because there is the surrender option. If people know that they can't surrender maybe they'll give it a shot for the win and get past the toxic player. Surrender shouldn't exist it's my opinion

yeah great idea, this is only the 200th thread this week asking for this!

no ff=more afks. I would afk anyway if my team doesn't ff but imagine all the other people that would......

Removing the option would be bad for the game.

I do however think that Riot should make some changes that limit the conditions in which a team can surrender.

Simply being past 20 minutes is too broad. You should at the very least be at a clear deficit.

  • Behind by greater than xxxx team gold

If the surrender option is removed I will leave whenever the fuck I please regardless of what the punishment may be.

If I am not staying simply because the other players want to continue then I have no reason to concern myself with what they want.

Btw its not the toxic player that's the problem, its people like you who are so focused on winning that when your teammate is being harassed all you can do is think about your fucking game even if that means forcing them to sit around taking that. People like this are the more enraging than harassers.

Mute exists for a reason. "Taking harassment" is always a choice.

Frankly, sometimes I wish I could make people mute others. It would make things a lot easier.

bullshit

when we've reached a point where the team can no longer communicate then we are not a team and I signed up to play a fucking team game not to be disrespected or watch others be disrespected to the point we must lower the quality of the game itself to perform.

Not to mention the mute button isn't going to stop anything half the time and sure as hell isn't going to stop them from making attacks on someone's account or attempting to harass them through others or commit slander.

But even then its is likely to affect performance when the players are unhappy.

If you are going to be a dick why should I play videogames with you? I'm an adult. I don't need this victory so badly that I should have to stay and put up with your shit. If you don't want me to surrender than act like it, if you remove the ability to surrender I will simply do what is necessary at my own discretion, I will not even bother warning you in some cases.

TL;DR

The surrender option enforces a necessary idea of courtesy and reinforces an unnoficial state of majority rule. If it is removed do not expect anything good to come of it. if you want less people to surrender then put fucking humanity before your win/loss and maybe you'll see a difference in how people react to such a thing.

Or you can ignore people. Most of the people I find on this game is young to always think it cool to "talk trash/big" or be annoying. Be the mature one and not ruin the experience for the rest of your team due to one person.

indeed I can ignore people. I can also walk away. The mature thing to do is not reward trash with your effort in videogames. There is nothing mature about not surrendering. If you choose not to surrender it has nothing to do with maturity even if you have every right to avoid doing so

I don't agree with removing the surrender option by the by, even though I have a personal policy of never surrendering. I'm only pointing out that nobody has to "take harassment" when there's a mute button. They harass you, you mute them. They talk to others about you, mute them too. Hell, just /mute all. Yeah, that game is probably going to be crappy. But you're not taking anything when their harassment isn't reaching you.

I do wish you could make it known to people that you muted them.

CerealBoxOfDoom1 votes

yes you are. There is no difference between taking harassment and sticking your head in the sand. You are continuing to play games with someone who harasses you. Not going to say you SHOULD leave but if there is no formal way to go about it the adult thing to do is to just stop playing with that person not some halfassed muting.

Limmie1 votes

If by any chance there's somebody in a desert halfway across the globe happens to be screaming curses at you at the top of their lungs and you don't even know it, they're not harassing you. If there's no way for the harassment to reach you, there's no harassment. That's what mute does. It's literally impossible for you to be harassed by people you muted.

CerealBoxOfDoom1 votes

you wouldn't have muted them if you weren't being harassed. By that same logic you can't be terrorized as long as you give up something small to keep the terrorists form trying to terrorize you. Just pacify them and pretend the problem isn't there while you continue to cater and contribute to their behavior

Limmie1 votes

As soon as you mute them the harassment stops. You're not pretending that the problem isn't there, it really stops being there once you've muted. You'd be pretending it isn't there if you kept reading it but not replying, which isn't what mute does. Just like you can't be terrorized by people who can't get at you. Do you feel terror at somebody with a dynamite belt in the middle of Antarctica by any chance? No, because they can't reach you from there, just like they can't reach you if you muted them. Sure, they might be there doing their things or they might not, you won't know nor care.

So yes, mute = no further harassment.

actually a man in Antarctica is extremely menacing and, in theory, could do something rather devastating.

What if you gotta go because of an emergency? You gotta leave the game but can't ff? o_O Like really.

RobbieFry131 votes

why should you get to make 4 other people take a loss because you want to leave without being reported for an AFK, which lets be honest is what you are doing.

Votable Jester1 votes

People would just say open mid and farm the jung to avoid afk checks.

TheLastShadow451 votes

No, people would actually quit and play on another account if they can't ff.

RobbieFry131 votes

I agree with one exception, you should be able to FF with a reduced penalty if you have a player AFK after the remake window. That player will take a full loss and leaverbuster penalties.

Bad idea. There are situations that warrant a surrender. You ever seen a game where your entire team just completely loses and feeds? That shit is hell. Also BMer's who are fed and like to take their time ending the game for an extra 20 minutes. It's a waste of time if you know a game is a loss.
