PSA: If you're low elo and you give up before the nexus is gone

Chønklord·Apr 13, 2017·10 votes·639 views

You lack the mental fortitude and willpower to work toward a comeback.

Just because there's a few hurdles and setbacks in a game (in low elo), does not mean the game is over.

So tired of kids going "gg ff/20" or downright just giving up in lane/going afk. I've had players literally give up before the minions spawned because they didn't approve of someone's champion pick.

I don't know if it's the general age level, their attention span or what, but holy hell. Back when I started playing League in s3 up until this season, rarely did anyone ever just "give up" so easily.

Or maybe time is more valuble to those people. It is to myself. If I'm in a game where my team is getting stomped, I'd much rather FF and be able to reque for another game, rather than spending more time in a game for a miniscule chance of winning, and then possibly not having the time for another game.

I'm not talking about when you get stomped; obviously there's a certain threshold where the game is going badly enough that you know it's pretty much over.

I'm talking about those players who just give up at the first setback or even after every setback and feel the need to express how much they're "done with it" -- I can't tell you how many games I've come back from simply by pushing the team to just try a little harder.

Shit, I've come back from 3 inhibs down and super minions flooding the base at 40 minutes.

Ive come back from both nexus turrets down, me being the only one alive on my team, and the enemy team having a Yi that destroyed my team......

Oh btw, he stomped his own team too after he tried to 1v1 a Mordekaiser :)

I came back from both nexus turrets down, 3v5, we had a yi and an Ashe, I was teemo, I stayed behind and wave cleared, while they stormed the barely standing enemy base, runaans op yo.

This. I'd rather start a new game/go work on something irl instead of spend 20 more minutes for a chance to win the game.

Holy fck, you played 1500 ranked games this season already? That's insane!

Actually, for me is not a matter of comebacks, benig fed or not, how much stuff do we have or how much stuff do THEY have.

As soon as i identify certain types of players, i know it's over. And i've become particularly skilled at this, i see the player? I know is over, even faker would afk in base if he saw what i see.

Faker could 1v5 any group of players below Master, and the players you see don't appear that high.

Time > winning.

I would rather get stomped for 20 minutes and be able to play a 2nd game that day then maybe playing 40-50 minutes and somehow squeaking out a win after I've likely been flamed and destroyed for losing.

Some days, that one game is the only game I'm going to get to play.

That's why there's a ff@20 ability. I'm talking about the players that grief about a game being "over" way before 20 minutes, continually in chat.

There's nothing wrong with running a vote to ff@20 if you personally feel the game is over; but there are 4 other teammates that cast their vote as well at that time.

What I'm talking about are the players that give up on the game sometimes even at champ select and are griefing/toxic about it in chat.

I don't need your negativity if you're going to give up at the mere hint of a problem.

I hate it when ppl give up at first sign of trouble. You're preaching to the choir.

When the nexus explodes, that's when the game is over.

Til then, maximum effort.

The only time I even will surrender is if I'm so thoroughly annoyed with the q_q's that i just want to play with a new team, lol.

some games are just a loss don't make other people suffer and waste their time for a losing game because you believe in the power of friendship take the L and move onto a winnable game
