I will always report surrenders as "Assisting Enemy Team" and this is why

This post assumes a 5v5 game

Anything can happen in a game. Just to start here is a list:

  • People can throw
  • Your team can get really weird catches and make a come back
  • A baron steal can turn a game around
  • Minions might hold off the other team long enough for you to respawn
  • Minions might backdoor
  • That player you've been yelling at all game might step up and be really good
  • You might be able to hold out for 20 minutes and farm up and push to victory
  • Their jungler might try to solo Baron and die making it a 4v5
  • Your end game might be stronger then theirs is and you can win at 50 minutes
  • Someone can DC from their team

OR

  • Your team surrenders at 20 and there is no hope for any of that

Any of those things can happen at any time, and that is a small list of all the things that can change a game. When your team surrenders there is no larger form of letting the other team win.

And I thought I was hardcore about never surrendering…

I wouldn’t recommend continuing this practice, though. I get your point, but surrender is a valid option, and is not a reportable offense.

Hate to break it to you, but if this is the case, your reports are quickly not going to be worth anything anyhow.

The primary problem I see with this is that you're valuing your enjoyment over that of four other players on your team. I understand that sometimes it sucks when your team surrenders games that you think that you could have won, but the thing is, you had to be literally the ONLY person on your team who thought that. Otherwise, it would've been 3/2 and the game would continue. By stating that which you have above, you're stating that the fact that 4 people are now enjoying themselves more is not worth you having a very small chance of winning a game.

While I sort of understand not wanting to surrender..... When its hopeless, just surrender for your teammates. Some of us are busy professionals that work 60+ hours a week and want to make the most of our limited time to play games. Sitting around in 50+ minute game hoping for the other team to throw terribly is not a lot of fun. We aren't playing in the LCS, it is OK to take a loss and move on to the next game. Generally, it will be more fun for everyone involved.

Ye i understand the "never surrender" attitude, but sometimes the game is over. I am not going to waste an extra 30 min while Freddyfeeder and his friend AFKJay are ruining my fun time... If you want to report me for that then so be it, but while you are here raging about a surrender im having fun in my next game...

The biggest problem I see with this is obviously you will always vote no to a surrender vote, which is commendable. The issue that comes in is the the other four people had to be in agreement for the game to be surrendered since it has to be 4 of 5 votes to surrender. League is very much a game based on perception, and if four of the five people believe that the game is unable to be won than in most scenarios the game will be lost based on that perception. Those four people will not be able to play well enough to win the game from that point on and everyone on your team would get more frustrated which could lead to more toxicity in game and punishable offences. So while I agree that surrender should not always be an option, if four out of five people agree to it just be happy that you didn't want to quit and go into your next game with that try hard attitude.

This post is feasible if you add three words "Only In Ranked" otherwise you are being hardcore about things that have no impact.

I also report people who continually start surrender votes, but for "Negative Attitude". They are quitters and don't think that we can come back when I have been in games when the vote fails and we still win.

Also, why is it that people surrender when theres 30 seconds left in a game. Its so irritating! Just let the other team finish like they earned.
