Early game isnt as important as you think
while many people will think that if the early game goes bad then they should just surrender because there a good chance that it wont get better, there is also a good chance that if you change your play style and work together that it will turn for the better. My amazing (and random) team decided to play it out no matter what happened. we ended up winning a 1 hr long game and got 4 kills ahead by the end, but where behind 30K in gold. now ik that gold doesn't matter as much later in the game because everyone gets a full build and the money just sits around with no purpose. but keep in mind they were ahead of us the whole time. I'm not saying "WE ARE NA! WE NEVER SURRENDER!" cuz sometimes it is a good idea when you are 30 and 4 and they are at ur inhibitors, but i am saying, weigh you options, and play smart :)
