Surrendering?

Had to rant bout' how much I hate surrendering. Though surrendering is already balanced; I feel as if though it defeats the purpose of the game. I could be giving my all, doing my very best, getting a great score, helping out lanes, roaming around. And yet, my teammates decide lets surrender. Because they THINK we are going to lose. Let me tell you, the tables can flip so easily, you could easily make a team-play that gets you and your team a ace on the enemies. Yet surrendering is just a preferred easy way to start another game faster. Well, all games can't be wins, and taking the EZ way out of a loss is stupid. Don't get me wrong I surrender here and there (not really often). When nothing is going right, every lane failed, and we are down to our nexus and inhibs and they just got baron. But thats about it. And even then did I even surrender? I still gave it my all, and still was trying my hardest, I guess long story short, though this is already long; surrendering is lame, and before you surrender because you wanna start another game sooner, think about how the tables can flip, think about how all u need to do is kill 3-4 people and u could most likely get elder or baron, think about how intensely fun and exciting the fights are near the end. (Now not all games are fun, there are yi's and akali's that are broken, but its ok some champions have more kill potential than others, its about how you and your team communicate and battle them team-fights.) Your hearts rushing, you see the enemies start to cannonball down the mid lane, you decide to tell your team "Group up!" here we come for the final fight that could very well determine who wins. But... wait, you don't get to experience any of that blood pumping, heart racing, edge of seat gameplay because you surrender'd? Yes you may try to say how I'm wrong then pull up how broken champs make the game un-fun. But the game can be so fun if you look at it as a game, not a crazy salt train of competition. Because this game can be so much more than you think at those "blood pumping, heart racing, edge of seat" moments. Then the sigh of relief after you make your amazing play.

If it's ranked, I don't surrender. If it's normal, I would rather surrender and hop into a new game than not have fun for the next 20 minutes for the small chance of pulling out a win.

Just as an example, I was 7/2/0 with taliyah and had 280 cs 33 minutes into the game. the rest of my team was 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, and 2/8. Is it possible that we could have somehow turned that around if we turtled for the next 20-30 minutes and scored an ace? sure. But I would rather move on since a win in a normal game doesn't mean much and I would rather be having fun.

Surrendering is the only option if you get 4 idiots for team mates. If you're team mates feed 15 kills in the 1st 15 minutes, they're surely going to continue doing so. FF and lets not waste time hoping they are magically going to get better.

True True, it's just so annoying. I mean the only thing you can do is try to set up a play for them. Like if i'm taliyah, I could probably do some amazing wall ult to trap the squishies on the inside. and then the team group up and kill them, but thats a small chance of making such a amazing play. Cuz once the adc/mid are out of the game the others are more vulnerable (depending on champion). But i guess if im tired of dominating then my teammates surrendering i could try to find a group of players. Communication with people you know and can voice chat with is a lot better anyway. But i was just ranting, blowing off steam from the many times my teamates surrender. I understand its funner to win, but remember all those times you had more fun when the enemy team didn't surrender? Now that COMPLETELY sounds like "Wha, so i should sacrafice my fun for others?" Well that would be a generous thing to do, if i were to make that decision it would only be if the enemy team isnt talking trash. (Which most of the time they are). So I agree with you peeps. I don't really know the penalties of surrendering, or if there are any? I never looked into it, and i've played this game for so many years. Is there any actual penalty?

I agree the ranking system is very flawed I went down from silver 2 because I had a few afks in a row and that was the last time I played ranked won't even bother if i'm not being ranked on how well I do or rank personally, but instead i'm ranked on a few bad games. If afks come into play then shouldn't that match be unranked? Also I find the fact that everyone surrenders all the time is stupid. I just want to play a full game and never can because everyone surrenders I feel like if people surrendered because of afks it would be fine. Except that everyone surrenders because they don't want to lose. Isn't that kinda like having a everyone get a trophy win or lose . How about we just don't have anyone win or lose anymore and its not about skill just about fun. Of course i'm being sarcastic incase you couldn't tell. If you surrender you lost the game so why not let me just get the win. As I lose the rank I would have got for winning. The game is defiantly getting worse with every update. Now you have us trying to do missions like this is some other kinda game. Make league great again!!! [zombie-brand-mindblown]
