Why do you even Surrender? (In ranked)

Almost EVERY SINGLE GAME, can be one, unless they are in your base with baron, dragon 5, and 30 kills above you , you can still win. Every game can be one.

Don't play ranked if you aren't willing to put in the time an effort, just because were down 8 kills at 20 Minutes doesn't mean we lost, this is SOLO QUEUE, players aren't coordinated enough to win the game quickly, they'll run around getting kills or just split push without taking a lead. You can come back on any game and every game. If you have to fight it out till the 50 Minute mark so be it. And if thats to long of a game for you and you find i boring, go play some bots or normals.

Ranked is a Mode for people who WANT to win, and WANT to put in the effort to become better, you quitting at 20 Minutes in because Little riven over there fed 5 kills. Isn't gonna make you any better, always play a game till the end or you will never learn nothing. You'll just keep being the Bronze V rager, who thinks everyone else is to blame.

This is the kind of mindset I like to have on my team more than anything! A lot of times a game will be lost simply because people give up halfway through.

That being said there is a problem when you have someone who is absolutely unbearably toxic in your game. Im having flashbacks to my first placement match where a 4/14 Teemo flamed the whole game and made me never want to play ranked again.

Absolutes never work.

If there is/are 1/2 guy/s feeding intentionally and the enemy team just likes to hang around not ending the game then why shouldn't I want to surrender?

You have a point.

What happens when you have a troll or someone who purposely feeds?

First of all, won* second of all, there's a difference between going back and forth. Theres a difference between one person on your team feeding. But when you're down by half of their kills, they've secured all the dragons, and 2 people on their team are very scary, it's time to call it quits and blind optimism and hope isn't going to change that.

End the bad game, take it, and move on with your life.

This. Many people in YoloQ, however, are usually too dumb to realize this. This includes the people who say GG at five minutes just because Vayne got first blood (and they never notice the double kill that comes after in favor of our team), the people who are on tilt, and the people who think that ranked is normals. In nearly half of the games where the opposing team was ahead, we won the late game simply because we didn't surrender.

However, this tactic isn't always available. If the opposing team has multiple late game champions (Ryze, Vayne, Nasus) and they're ahead, chances are high that you will lose.
