If you are 0/7, stop holding the rest of the team hostage

When 3 people are over your feeding ass's attitude of "we got late game" or "why ff", it's time to ff, and stop holding the rest of us prisoner/hostage for your amusement.

Not everyone likes being one shotted by someone they didn't feed, for 20+ minutes.

High elo/smarter players know when to give up. They know there is a point of no return. Riot games themselves ended after a bug in their game, ended an LCS match claiming there was little to no chance of that team coming back. Go watch some high elo streamers, and u'll see their matches basically open after a certain point. They don't give up, they accept that they cannot win a team fight because they are so behind.

Stop with the "fake positivity". Just makes you look like a troll, and an asshole. And all you do is waste your team mates time. Just... Stop. It's annoying.

10 times out of 10, when we have the guy that is 0/7 saying we have the late game, we don't make it to late game and lose minutes afterwards. Just.... Stop.

High elo streamers know when to give up, because they can count on their opponents to skillfully snowball that lead and not throw it. In lower elos, with everybody making frequent mistakes, it's much easier to catch the fed player out, shut them down, and reach parity. Doubly so with the recent shutdown gold buff. A three-kill lead matters more in diamond+ than a 20 kill lead in Bronze, I'd say. Give or take. There's no coming back from Faker getting 2-4 kills in the laning phase, but your average joe is gonna be at risk to throw that lead.

I'd say at least 2 out of 10 times where I'm in a game like that we do make the comeback. Obviously this is just anecdote vs anecdote, but just because that game is a likely loss for you doesn't mean it is for everyone.

what if that person is just trying to get better mechanics on that hero

you never said if it was ranked/normals btw so if this was normals then he's well within his rights to keep playing

and you're so wrong. you can drag out a game somehow, especially if you have end-game monsters on your team, you can turn it around. 0-7 Nasus, after 40min has so many stacks he will 1shot everyone.

0-4 Yi, let him get Ghostblade and he will get a Penta like it's nothing.

Also, there's always a chance an enemy suddenly disconnects.

Never give up. [slayer-jinx-catface]

If your team can last another 20+ minutes then either your team is not in as bad of shape as you think or the other team doesn't know how to end.

Either one justifies continuing the game. It seems to me that games that can't be turned around are over in less than 5 mins....usually 2-3. Being "held hostage" for 2-3 minutes is a lot different than 20+.
