unanimous early surrender

Pendragøn··3 votes·2,453 views

Having an early surrender that requires EVERY teammate to agree to surrender is more of a hinderance than a benefit...There's always that one guy that NEVER GIVES UP no matter if your team is 0-30 kills and all your turrets are gone within the first 10 mins.

These scenarios happen and happen often. When a team just gets stomped and most people just will accept inevitable defeat so they can just move on. But that ONE guy who has all the time in the world wants to enjoy the loss.

Aside from those people that never give up there are also trolls who purposely drag out these one sided games. Just had a troll drag out our loss on purpose when the entire team wanted to surrender except him...His excuse was "I want to continue farming" like wtf...

On that note...WHY is 3/5 not a MAJORITY vote? Literally more than half the team wants to surrender why drag out a game whose outcome is more than likely to be a loss for these people.

it's just not practical. These little things that Riot does to systematically keep games long so that people stay hooked on the game and continue playing does not help their cause. It just adds to the annoyance and toxicity of the game.

I've never understood the 3/5 thing. What happened to majority rules?

I think they just want people to continue playing the game because its good business for them...There's literally no other logical reason.

If you can't surrender with a 3/5 vote then you are pretty much forced to play because not doing so would jeopardize you getting banned permanently. Thus you play and you end up putting up a fight because again if you did nothing you risk getting banned...Once you do eventually lose you realize you spent a lot more time on the loss than you should have and thus you are eager to win the next game only to have the same 3/5 vote scenario happen again if you get face stomped. It's a vicious cycle...

With proper psychological triggers to keep you in check Riot keeps the players hooked and thus better for them...

It's actually more frustrating to have a game forfeited for you by a team that was too tilted to see the game was winnable.

how the fuck are u gonna lose every turret and die 30 times in 10 minutes and no its not a bad idea because some people just like to ff at any given point they can in a game that can be turned around

Crushing defeats happen...Ya some people like to forfeit right away but it still would requires 3/5 to surrender..It would not change the outcome if that one guy wants to quit right away.

I think the reason the early surrender was given a unanimous condition is so that 4 man premades can't abuse their numbers and end a game prematurely that possibly could have been turned around. (Believe me, there are people like that) So, even though your argument is legit, there is an argument for the opposite case as well.

I thought pre-mades only get one collective vote? If it's a 4 man pre-made the voting would be out of /2 requiring the cooperation of both the 1 one non pre-made member and the other 4 members.

What? I never heard about anything like that. I don't think that's a thing.

Then there's another flaw in the surrender system..
