Twistedtoo8 votesNever Surrender! Unless I am really far behind and getting one shot by Rengar.
Chaotic Reks13 votesif you're NOT getting one shot by Rengar, he's doing it wrong
revliledpembroke1 votesUnless he's 400 armor 
or 
.
DREADN0UGHT2 votesHis point is still valid. Because no rengar in his right mind would try taking a 400 armor malph or rammus head on.

Goddamnit my school is named after Mr. Churchill himself and I can't get away from him even in video games implodes
TeCoolMage14 votesI like being that person that waits till the surrender time bar is near empty to make my choice
Cus usually something happens in that short amount of time

TeCoolMage1 votesPls explain, I suck at American jokes :(
Is this a political joke about being not allowed to refrain from voting for a president?
Rendarkan1 votesMost Americans don't vote.
Hello I am Bird1 votesAnd complain when the wrong president is elected 
TeCoolMage1 votesWhat's a right president these days [slayer-jinx-wink]
TeCoolMage1 votesWow, isn't there a penalty for that? I thought there was (and thought it was a ridiculous thing to have)
Bladerunner77776 votesYOU'LL NEVER MAKE ME SURRENDER!
SelflessTeammate6 votesSeriously, I know the crowds are divided on this one, but my opinion on surrender votes the vast majority of the time is, We made this damned bed, now we'll sleep in it. It's not even about winning or losing all the time, so at least learn something from it. Sometimes you're not going to start out on the winning side, it happens.
Like, unless the game's getting seriously toxic and players are totally flaming each other hardcore. I'll vote "Yes" at that point to end the suffering. Toxic games don't apply, those are just unpleasant. Laning phase just not going our way isn't necessarily unpleasant.
But also because I've voted down hundreds of surrender votes that ended in a victory screen, anyway, even if that one (or two, or even three) guy(s) wants to give up. Usually, surrender votes just aren't the pragmatic thing to do, and it's absolutely viable to try to make the comeback.
I mean, the fact is, a lot of teams seem to suck at closing out games, which is when you catch them all off-guard, ace them, and just end with a mid push. If the game lasts long enough and the death timers are long enough, you just automatically won because of one teamfight that went your way. Even if you're all underfed, you just got the drop and won because they didn't expect it.
Pressure puts me on my best game, and I like that, and it makes any comeback feel much more rewarding. I totally understand not everyone feels the same way, but that's just how it is for me, personally.
Playing 
may or may not have something to do with it.
Gregor Gysi4 votesOh I gotta love these surrenderat20 guys who realized at minute 7 that 'there is no way we are going to win this' and thus already stopped trying only to surrender every friggin 3 minutes. And then when you finally lose (because they just kept on chasing due to their high salt levels and making the teammates nervous with surrender votes) they are like 'I told you so'. What the heck. Never surrender pre 30. Never surrender without at least 1 Inhi down. Always keep the scaling in mind. Do not try a 2nd surrendervote after 3 minutes. Your teammates didn't want to surrender and nothing tilts people as hard as surrender votes.
S H A Y C 01 votesand yet all the challenger players will "open mid" to get a game over pre 20...hmmmm, i wonder if there just may be a point where its not worth it anymore*[slayer-pantheon-popcorn]*
Gregor Gysi5 votesOh sorry, I forgot that everyone on the boards is challenger! The thing is that at lower elo (below high dia1) people love to throw. People simply don't know how to finish, so you can always hope for them to screw up.
S H A Y C 01 votesthere is just something about still "trying" at 65 minutes....just sayin
Gregor Gysi2 votesI don't quite understand, do you think that you should surrender at 65 minutes?
Either way, of course there are some situations in which I do want to surrender. But - and that is the most important thing - I do respect it when people do not want to surrender. If 2+ people still want to play the game, then everyone has to play the game - after all everyone decided to start a game.
TeCoolMage1 votes"I know we'll lose, so let's surrender at 20. To prove my point, I'll feed so we'll definitely lose"
Xilixer3 votesi hate surrendering id rather play the game out becuase thats another several minutes out of game of me trying to get back into another one. id rather just play the game.

When I see surrender pop up, i decline EVERY time. IDC...people need to stop being so self-loathing that they're getting their asses kicked and MAN UP and starting pulling off ganks...too bad that memo didn't get passed around at the start of a match.
kaltenashes2 votesunless my team is being stomped, and i mean stomped like 35 vs 5, i'm indecisive on surrender, first i wait for a big team fight and see how it goes, if shit hits the fan and 3 people wants to surrender i'll be the fourth
plz if your team is being stomped (and this happens a lot in this patch) plz plz plz. surrender, i hate those games when we're being stomped and there are 2 people refusing. we have no turrets left, we cant 5v5 them, we didnt take a single turret, and we're not surrending i wish i could go afk in those games

Jinxish1 votesIt really depends on the situation for me. Is the person who started the surrender someone who was flaming at the rest of the team for the entire game (whether they're fed or feeding)? Not surrendering. If we had to suffer because of them, they suffer with us until the end. Are we losing team fights pretty hard and down in objectives? Decide who to focus, fight at the next dragon or baron, and if we get utterly destroyed, I'll surrender. If it goes well, we play till the next team fight, see how we do, and go on from there.
If I'm surrendering, it's usually because I'm doing terribly, and my teammates aren't doing particularly well so it doesn't look hopeful. However, if they reject the surrender with the true belief that we'll win, I will try my hardest to be useful.
