Surrender Vote needs to be changed

Ok Riot I get that surrender is not something people generally want to do but when your game has the duo que who refuses and the enemy team just stalls out in front of your base for lulz and starts dance partying in front of your fountain I've had enough. When the game gets to that point when the enemy team gets so far ahead that someone is 1v3 or 2v5 your team and you have that one pair that just has to stall out the game and worse still the enemy team supports it I've had enough. There isnt any real recourse as negative attitude reports seem to be about worthless and I'm pretty much done with the stall out bullshit that I cant even walk away from my keyboard for or else REPORTED!!!! Call me a bad player if you want but at the same time when the game stalls out not because one team cant make a push but because the decision is made to just try for kills on fountain and see how it goes I think players should have the ability to just walk away. There should come a point when it can be said hey your down by 7 turrets 30 kills and the enemy team is just screwing with you and you have that premade that finds more fun in frustrating people than playing the game that you should just be able to call it quits. Dunno if it was because I just had a bad string where this seemed to happen with unnaturally high frequency but I still think its something that should be addressed.

It's simple really.

On the 3rd Three YES and 2 NO let the team surrender. That way it wasn't a surprise. It gives people time to change their minds. I think it's more fair than 2 people holding 3 others hostage.

Oh yeah thats one thing that makes me give up, -no towers (including nexus) -score is 10 v 48 -enemy has 4 dragons and a baron

and you will still have the two people on your team who will be screaming "Surrender is for weaklings, If you surrender I will report you!" or "Its ok, I am gonna carry!" Or just "One push and we win!"

I am all for being optimistic but I am sick of these people who act like it is Not even possible for -Them- to lose (Like, they are on your team so there is No way they would ever ever EVER lose) at that point I give up and just casually farm minions or go poke the jungle creeps. It is these types of people who are unwilling to look at reality and only see themselves as the hero who carries thier "trash team" to victory. They become so swallowed up by thier own ego they are unwilling to even aknowledge that thier team wants to surrender, all because -they- are unwilling to accept the possibility of defeat.

Again, I am willing to be optmistic, but at the same time I look at the whole match and have to carefully weigh "do we really have a chance, or is the match truly lost beyond recovery?" and often for that I am reported, insulted, degraded, chat-banned, whatever. All because I took a good objective look at the map and took off the "rose-colored glasses"

As Much as you really want it to be, realistically NOT EVERY MATCH is winnable.

In my opinion surrendering should not exist in ranked.

making people play a video game when they don't want to play anymore is bs.

OP is right. There are plenty of games that should've ended earlier but the enemy team stalls it out longer than needed.

I've done it. We've all done it.

While I agree that if the enemy team is dancing at your fountain and not finishing, but rather letting your inhibs respawn and repeated killing you the game should be surrendered, I don't think I've seen that happen, or if so it happens once every several hundred games.

I must be playing an entirely different game from all of these people that want to change the surrender policy, because the games are very rarely so upside down that they're no longer fun.
