Spamming surrender votes when no one is actively trolling makes no sense

I get it if you want out of a game because someone is trolling (admitting it) and it's psychologically messing up your day. But lately as soon as 15 minutes hits I get to see the surrender vote pop up every 3 minutes for the rest of the game.

What's sad is after I stopped voting yes and just kept playing, I come back from a good 45-50% of those surrender vote spam games. But when we win the one spamming the ff isn't even happy! He's so stuck on showing us "trolls" what's up that the harder we try to win and the better things get the more the guy tries to throw the game to prove some nonexistent point.

Not only does it hurt our morale, it's quite distracting to see the surrender vote pop up in an important teamfight. It's also detrimental because in order to cast the surrender vote, our whiny teammate momentarily afks.

The surrender vote is good for instances where maybe you're being held hostage or whatever, but seriously it's overrated. Every game I get into that we don't stomp in it's on my screen 24/7. And yet it hardly ever passes. When it doesn't pass the first 4 times, you're frankly doing it for attention at this point.

Please consider that while a comeback isn't 100% certain, it happens A LOT more than I ever thought it would. A simple misplay from the fed enemy team resulting in an ace can tilt them. Riot may lack in certain champion balance areas, but they do make it pretty easy to capitalize on enemy mistakes even when behind. Otherwise first blood would literally end the game.

Far as I have seen it is mainly brought up when ONE player who thinks they are the "best ever" dies in the first few minutes. And so sinse they wont be getting that precious "S" Grading they want so badly, there is no point in playing the full match through because thier overall grade wont reflect how highly they think of themselves.

Whaaa I didnt get the grade I want so I am gonna spam surrender vote and take my toys to go home.

well in a game that uses a matchmaking system like riot's you will always get people who want to lose.

you get easier games when you lose and harder games when you win. so if you are getting crushed and are frustrated it is hard to not want easier games.

If a game is like 5-30 and you dont have any towers or like 3 or 4 left, its not winnable and you should accept the lost and dont waste the time of you or of the others. And saying we have l8game is stupid too, cuz you wont reach the l8 if youre so cloe to loose the game. And if its 0-15 in like 10-12 minutes, you wont win either. I dont get the guys who can say we can win when the game is CLEARLY lost.
