For the love of all that is holy, STOP calling 'gg' before the match is over.

I know it's tempting, when the enemy team is like 10 kills ahead and you're down 3 turrets to cry gg and stop caring.

But I promise you, it can be different. You can still win.

Literally ANYTHING is possible if you refuse to give up, think strategically, and be mindful of the state of the game at any point. Making a few mistakes does not a loss make, and it does nothing but tilt the rest of your team into throwing because nobody's in it to win anymore.

And as a support main who's compulsive about map awareness, that pisses me right the fuck off every time. Even if the game turns into a win.

And if you end up matched with me I will 100% annoy the shit out of you with encouragement and shotcalls until the game ends. Optimism has literally won me games. It can probably win you some, too.

And I'm pissed off when all lanes are losing, team's morale is as low as room temperature in North Pole, 4 of us wants to early surr cuz there is no way to come back,at least not in the next 20-25 mins, and then there is one guy (or 2 if premade) who will constantly press no on surr vote, trap other players in most likely lost game, stall it until 40 min mark at best, and u get 3-4 tilted players, who will stay tilted no matter the outcome of the game, and then those 3-4 players will bring their frustration into the next game, then game after that and so on....

Aaaaand congradulation, u just potentialy made 3-4 players toxic who will create negative experience for other players in other matches :D Your post seems pretty selfish, think about other players next time buddy ;)

“Every game is winnable”

Guess fucking what? Know what’s more true? “You’re not going to win everything in life”

Or spamming the surrender vote when things go south but the game is still winnable.

If four players want to surrender, let them surrender.

I don't know of any player that actually gives up after saying gg. I see most players continuing to try to win with a bad attitude.

I report them for griefing , not sure if I typed it right or wrong they are one of the reasons to tilt their teammates

I just had the toughest loss out of all of my games, because it was due to negative behavior. We had a comeback but our jungler was calling us trash saying he was on a 6 game losing streak and everyone's trash. It was really a hard game to play. It was SO winnable too. Too bad his negative behavior ruined it.

If the game is going 3 v 20 within the first 10 minutes it's clear which side is winning, so most people find no point in dragging out a painful process of proving themselves right. I've done this many times, teams still have a small group of people that don't wanna give in but in the end, we still lose. I still try but it doesn't change the outcome.

Yesterday (Thresh game) we were losing hard,but i started to ff. My team said no. The enemy team throws hard. So our team stepped up and win the game.

I call gg anyways because at some point, I could just decide to go "You know what? Let's just win this instead of losing." I'm preemptively calling it to

Throw the enemy off.
Saying we won.

Dear Totally Not Jinx,

This is totally off-topic, but when will we see a Totally Not Jinx skin?

[slayer-jinx-wink]

Also, I completely agree with this. But at the same token, I feel the opposite can be true. I almost always vote no, except in cases where it's painfully obvious that the skill difference is there and we should move on and learn from the loss.

So, I've seen GG used when you OWN team is 10 kills ahead... (and still lost, LOL)

I have also stated "This is a GG" when I'm having fun.

Buy yeah, I know where you're coming from.

But, gg just means "good game". It doesn't mean "ok, bye". You can comment on liking the match at any time. It's just usually reserved for end of game because typing doesn't effect the game any more.

But but but...

Game over, man. Game over!

But really, always play a ranked game out. Normals too if you have the temperament. Remember to have fun. [slayer-jinx-catface],

This isn't Disney World, anything is not possible.. sometimes you have to be realistic and look at the skill and decision making of your teammates. If you realize a couple of the kids on your team had their swing set aimed towards a brick wall as a kid, then just open, ff, or GG.
