Stop torturing your team for IP..

I am getting really sick of this idea that Calling for a SURRENDER vote should be a Banneable offence. I just got out of a 40 minute torture session. Enemy started snowballing when the team started running solo to chase kills individually instead of working as a team (meaning it was easy to pick them off one by one) By the end they had almost 3x the kills. they had 3x the dragons (0-3), and 3x the towers (2-6) But my team refuses to just admit defeat and find a new game...But there was a simple reason. They already admitted that they knew the match was lost. So why didnt they surrender? more IP.... Yes they force the team to fight on in a meaningless fight while we are getting snowballed (one of them wanted to report me for being afk for not being as "gung -ho" about running in to my death as the rest of them)...all for a possible extra 5-10 IP. and this is just as irritating as those people who will throw the "Its just a game, calm down" at you...then Immediately chew you out and demand everyone report you for not treating EVERY MATCH like its the LCS world finals uber-tiebreaker match!

Seriously Please take away the bonus for lengthy matches. Then people wont force thier teams into a 60 minute torture session for an additional 0.5% IP bonus under the threat of reports if they dont play like the survival of the universe depends on winning a match where the score is like 3 v 39 with the enemy team having 5 dragons and a baron. But again, if you look at the match and give up, they will report you for afk, even if you are not.

There has to be a limit. I am all for being optimistic, But I draw the line when people are unwilling to be realistic.

TL:DR: STOP treating surrendering like it should be an offence worthy of a permaban. and get rid of the IP bonus for lengthy matches so dillusional eternal optimists dont hold thier team hostage on a match thats clearly lost (even when they ADMIT they KNOW its lost) just for the bonus 10IP

dons Hazmat suit to away the toxic flames and ad hominum attacks (aka Use my KDA, Win ratio, champs used, etc to try and invalidate my point)

if you have to surrender so much that the surrender mechanics bother you,

maybe you should git gud so you don't have to surrender so much?
