I 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

Seriously, 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 Karthus may or may not have something to do with it.

Oh 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.

unless 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

Twitch : "Fall into my lovely vat of grease you coward!" Teemo : "Since you wanna whine, here's a toadstool...sit down and SHUT UP!" Vladimir : "QQ some more...shut up and PUSH!" Blitzcrank : "010010000101010100011001" (Translated: @#$%...You...)

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.

It 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.
