Do you have fun while you're losing?

Hey all,

I was getting stomped by some diamond trihards in normals while my buds and I picked trolled champs like elise support.

However, because of the stomp, I actually didnt enjoy the game AT ALL. The enemy would just keep on killing us over and over again with assassins. It was pretty terrible experience tbh.

Do you guys enjoy playing this game when losing? I personally found that I dislike getting crushed. Maybe Rito should improve the player experience for when losing League.

This would allow losing players (50% of the players in the game) to continue to have fun, even while losing.

What do you guys think? DO you guys enjoy playing losing/ lost games? Or do you enjoy League even whilst losing?

Let me know

Thanks!

In Normals yes, In Ranked no.

As long as its not a stomp, trying to win the game can be fun in itself, if I am just not having fun in a normal game I will try to surrender, some games just tilt you and you can't really get back into the game for it to be fun anymore.

Ranked is terrible when you are losing and I typically refuse to surrender because they could always throw...

No. Playing a game for 40 minutes just to lose isn't fun. I play games to win. It feels like a waste of time.

Yes as long as there isn't dumb taunting or I feel like I made too many mistakes(In which I exclude that since obviously I'd feel bad) it is pretty fun even while losing as long as I'm clear headed.

Plus there's normal vs ranked. Ranks winning is the only option, there is fun from the intense environment but you play to win there mostly.

Sometimes. Like, the games you know there is no chance you have to try and get some fun out of.

This is dependent on a few things...

When I play a game, feed, and get carried to victory, it makes me feel pretty lousy.

But when I play a game, smash a lot of objectives and champions, but lose because my teammates fed, I might feel a little dissatisfied. Unless I get an S.

It would be cool if they made losses a bit more rewarding in IP and champion experience. Then, even when you lose, you feel like you won.

Sometimes. My favorite games are when both teams are evenly matched at 40 minutes and either side has a chance to win. At that point I don't care if I win or lose anymore because it's a good game either way. I don't have fun during stomps though.

I think losses in which you are performing well are still fun. Until people from both sides start personally attacking you.
