How ''hold hostage'' games can lead to death

So my explanation is that if you had a history of elipsy seizures and you play for 6 hours straight if the game is that long you can actually die of a seizure lol

If players on both sides of the river are conspiring to make the game last indefinitely, just AFK after a reasonable amount of time. Any possible leaverbuster penalty will be less than the time forced to play that one game of League, and despite there being no excuses for leaving on paper, I suspect a support employee might very well give you a pass if you make a respectful ticket about the problem.

On the plus side, this can't really happen more than twice to you.

What if he has a healing factor and regrows them?

I guess in that case it comes down what you semantically define as "lost".

One leg lost, one leg gained; both as a result of the same event. So one could very well argue that the net loss of legs was zero.

Do you admit then, that his argument; has a leg to stand on?

I do not apologize for that horrible joke.

No need to apologize, that made my day. I hereby concede defeat, declaring you the winner of this sub-thread.

Your time schedule (and planning ahead according to it) is your responsibility, nobody elses. Whether you have an important appointment, your ~~~~Mom will soon call you for dinner or whether you could literally die from playing for too long is of nobody else's concern. ~~All your post does is highlight how stupid the expression of being "held hostage" really is.~~ If anything comes up in life that is more important than the game you are currently playing you can and absolutely should simply quit. If you wanna be extra nice, apologize and possibly explain yourself to [the part of the team that isn't trolling you] ~~your team~~ before doing so.

Edit: Apologies to the OP. Thought this was a typical complaint about failed surrender votes, so I crossed out everything that isn't relevant to that problem.

I think OP is referring to the recent-ish videos of high-ELO players queueing up simultaneously in two teams of 2-3, getting on opposite teams in low-ELO, and keeping the game going for 6+ hours with infinitely-scaling champs.

It's just a few cases of trolling, it's not an epidemic. At least not as far as I can tell.

Ah, my bad. I thought it was the usual complaint about people refusing to surrender. Thanks for the info.
