I'm so god damn tired of people being overly positive

If the score is 5/30 to the enemy, we won't win this game. Stop voting no in surrender, stop saying ''we can still win''.

I mean, of course it's good to be positive, but be fucking realistic. If the other team is stomping us, we lose every single fight, we can't splitpush, we can't take dragon, baron or towers, we can't even farm. Then why the fuck waste time? Vote yes in the surrender and try again in another game, be realistic and try to understand the situation

Sometimes people vote "No" not because they think they can win, but because they just want to play the match out. Not everyone can afford to start 2-3 games an evening, and in cases like that surrendering does nothing but reduce their time playing the game.

Reduce the playtime? Reduce the time being raped you mean?

You budget ~40 minute for a game of League. A surrender at 15 minutes or 20 minutes doesn't leave you enough time to queue up for another Summoner's Rift.

Even when getting stomped there are things you can improve in your gameplay.

Nobody budgets 40 minutes for a game anylonger. The game is over by the 20 minutes mark.

Only about 7% of games finish by 20 minutes. If you don't want a leaver buster, then you budget 40 minutes.

Averaging 27:30 for most players means that for every 20 minute game there's a 35 minute game (assuming an even bell curve, which is what the Infographic showed). Add in queue times and champ select and yes, you're still budgeting 40 minutes of your own time to play 1 game of League of Legends.

You pulled your data from the same source as I did, did you really think it would say something different?

It's OK though, it happens.

If it's 5-30, then yeah it's probably time to surrender. The only time I can see that possibly making a comeback is if you have literally every objective I guess.

On the flipside, I don't recommend being overly negative either. You seem rather balanced, so I won't preach you about "muh positivity," but I've seen cases where people vote "no" to the surrender vote out of spite because someone spammed it earlier because we're like 11 kills to the enemy's 14 and we have two towers. Does it make them right? No. But excessive negativity is equally annoying, if not worse.

I'm trying not to be negative, but when every single lane loses, and the enemies COMPLETELY STOMPS us, and people still vote no with the comment ''never surrender'', I'm getting pretty annoyed. People have to release when a game is lost

That's fair. I've been there too, but I just take a deep breathe and hope the enemy ends. It sucks, but just do your best to manage.
