Whats the point if your just going to FF at 20?

(Only talking about Ranked Games)

Like why the hell are you playing the mode DESIGNED for the competitive players who want to climb to the top? If you don't have a Win or Die trying attitude then don't play ranked. Even if you do lose , surrendering at 20 doesn't help. You won't learn from mistakes, you wont learn anything. And you'll never get better if you always quit. Trial and Error, even if you have to drag it out to 50 Minutes, just to win. Then so be it.

If you think it's "Wasting time" to drag a game on, THEN WHY THE FUCK are you playing this game. Yes in ranked your goal is to always win, but for fucks sake man. Just because it was a loss doesn't mean it was a waste of time. It was a learning experience, learning not to make that mistake again and what you can do better in future games, it should also BE FUN, regardless of whether you lost or won. If your only goal in this game is to climb Elo and win. Then you should probably find another game. Don't stress yourself, playing something you don't enjoy just because you want that shiny Gold border and Victorious Skin.

Koreans FF @ 20 so they can get to the next game and hopefully win @ 20. Thats why they are better at micro than the other regions, the competition is fierce and their mechanics get tested and pressured @ lvl 1. They play to snowball the game and win, they will FF unless the game is close. Statistically if they are good they will climb if they win more games than lose... and playing catch up sucks I personally would FF and get to the next game than waiting for that epic comeback. I play the game for fun and late game is not fun for me.

^^^......i really hate it when they say it was a waste. I play ranked consistantly and i try to push my skills as i play. Ive actually gotten better in the last 3 months of ranked play than i have in the last year of tb and normal play. The only thkng that changed though is i shifted from solely using my main to branching into all lanes and learning from mistakes. I will never ff in ranked because i analyze my own mistakes and also i watch my enemies play buils and look at stats masteries and runes afterwards. Ranked is a great way to learn it takes time so itll never be a waste because all the time you spend in ranked you learn.

Normals is for Practice and fun Ranked is for competitive play to climb

If you are trying to learn new champions , mechanics etc in ranked you are an idiot.

The reason it is a waste of time is because what can you possibly learn playing 3 vs 5 when you have 2 afks on your team.. 9 times out of 10 you are going to have 5 people on your team and those are the games you learn from but when you have afks on your team you are essentially wasting time because I don't see how practicing to have afks on your team would make you better, the game is designed around team work.

I'll leave just a few examples of my own games, I personally hate it when people say gg ff at 20 http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1957318611/40508355?tab=overview http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1969850641/40508355?tab=overview http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1969006446/40508355?tab=overview (20 min mark they have a 11k gold lead) http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1964888994/40508355?tab=overview (never had gold lead, still won) http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1927987579/40508355?tab=overview http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1908540899/40508355?tab=overview

I prolly have more, this is more than enough though. If you're playing ranked and you don't have dc's in the game, you play til the nexus drops

Anybody who votes Yes to a surrender within their first 100 matches of Ranked should be auto-demoted into Bronze-V with their MMR set to 0 points. Then I wouldn't have had to waste time with my first 50 matches of this season with every single game in a row being everybody else feeding followed by four-man-surrender-voting.

Because the competitive part of the game is very often already past by 20 minutes. If you're down 10k gold at 20 minutes, you've already lost, and probably lost a solid 10 minutes ago. I wish we could surrender earlier because games honestly are often won or lost before 15 minutes, let alone 20 minutes. No point in sticking around in a complete stomp for any longer than is necessary.

This, and this is why I don't understand people who threaten to report me when I always refuse to surrender.

Everyone FF even in the championships there's just some games you can't win.
