Should you lose by Surrender?

So, just curious for opinions. I've had about 20% of my games where one person will quit, and the rest of my team will surrender (even if I press no). So it's impossible to win a lot of my games since even by pressing no on the surrender vote, i get out-voted 3-1....Do you think they should prevent this?

Although it would be nice if they did something like, "lose less LP when team surrenders and you dont", it is a team game, and thus if your team surrenders, you go down with the ship. You didn't destroy their nexus, and your nexus has been surrendered.

I mean, that is honestly just life. If you are at a job, say like a large factory, and the company sells out or goes under, you don't get to keep your job even though you were against the sell out, if that makes sense.

Get better at the game, and snowball an early lead. Especially in low ELO, this is the easiest way to win. When you get a big lead and influence the whole map with it, your team feels empowered and the enemy gives up. I feel ya, I have lost a TON of very winnable games because people just give up. Keep improving, and you will climb.

I mean it's a team game. Can you carry a 1v5 game? Yes? Then you'll be like the world champion and not need a team and the surrender vote wouldn't have even happened in the first place because you're a god. No? Then you'll lose anyway and it'll save your team members valuable time, maybe they'll save enough time to have 2 more games and not 1 more like they planned and they win their series.

If you don't vote the surrender doesn't go through I don't do this to be rude but sometimes it's necessary.I may not be high enough to do ranked but it applies every where else.

There is no point sitting around in 50 minute games getting tilted unless you find it fun.

Ff needs to happen more often
