Idea for lowering toxicity

Kieshwa·8/9/2014, 1:29:23 PM·2 votes·692 views

How about making surrendering easier and quicker to be available.

Being in a game with trolls/losing heavily only makes people irritated, being trapped in this situation until at least 20 minutes, provided the vast majority of your team even allows the surrender, can only serve to make people further irritated.

These people would be irritated and probably go start another game, carrying over that negativity. It's not just going to magically go away in the 10 minutes between games, especially if these games happen a few times in one day.

"But one time, the team wanted to surrender, me and another guy said no and we totally came back to win it!" That's fine for you but you're forgetting about all those other times that big losses turned into even bigger losses and people started becoming irritated with each other started becoming toxic.

I still don't understand why 2 people can out-voice 3, and why abstaining votes are counted as no votes, rather then the vote being out of 4, just terrible Riot logic.

I understand that the surrender system is kinda broken right now. But if the game doesn't require a clear majority vote then the minority can dictate the end of the game which can cause situations where the trolls you trying to avoid can cause you to lose a winnable game.

one thing i think is smart is how dawngate does it, when if the enemy is leading in so many kills you can surrender, or i think for every d/c it cuts time off of the surrender clock, so instead of surrender at 20 it might be at 17:30.

It's been said by a Riot employee on a previous post that it will stay as 20 mins. I'll try to link it here if I can find it
