Forfeiting

Evil Shawn··1 votes·2,132 views

How is this a 'team game' if forfeiting doesn't have to be unanimous every time its voted for? I just got out of a game where we were literally winning, ahead and doing fine and at the 20 minute mark my whole team suddenly unexpectedly voted to forfeit except me. This is a loss that I do not deserve, its such a joke that its even possible. I understand the idea of not allowing 1 person to stop a game from ending because they're trolling or something. But seriously the fact that I was just given a loss with literally 100% no control over it at all is depressing. When you hit 'play' especially in ranked, you're committing to play the game through. I guess it thinks I'm not part of the team and my vote doesn't matter. Also considering the fact that a 'duo' team could 'troll' and not allow a game to end really defeats any argument you could make supporting a non unanimous forfeit vote. Unless there is a detected afk, or if someone doesn't hit 'yes' or 'no', the vote should be unanimous always no matter what.

I mean, you already went over why a single person shouldn't be allowed to stop a surrender vote. A single person would be able to halt a surrender vote when everyone else on the team thinks it's not worth fighting.

If you're talking about your most recent game your team wasn't exactly "doing fine". Right before the surrender the enemy team killed 4/5 ppl, took two towers and an inhibitor. Was you team going to lose? Maybe, maybe not. But it doesn't seem like it was a group of four people maliciously surrendering to take a win away from you.

we only lost the towers and inhib because they all sat in base surrendering randomly

If they were doing that, what exactly would their inability to surrender do? They would just let the enemy team roll over them.

Edit: I also watched the replay. At no point did I see them just sitting in the base surrendering randomly at the end. Each one making a poor decision to get close to the enemy team, sure (and that included you, one of your two deaths was near the end), but they were not sitting afk.

Also, I'm saying that its not a good enough reason to allow a non-unanimous vote. I would rather deal with trolls who want to stay in a losing game than to lose a game I don't deserve

The reason it doesn't have to me unanimous is because a single troll could stop a surrender vote if it did.
