Surrendering

League of Legends is a fantastic game, For myself it's quite hard to get frustrated at this game with all the champions and play styles, just means learn more about the champion if a person is unclear about it. Surrendering is the only mechanic in League of legends that i absolutely hate about the game. When i play ranked... I play to win, whether i lose or win i press on. The surrender options make it hard for a player like myself to even continue after the game of surrendering to the opposite team. For 1 it takes 4 votes to officially surrender, Why cant the little guy or 1 vote against surrendering have a big impact just like the 4 others voting for a surrender...Why does it have to come to the fact that your only vote is absolutely worthless if in a team game your team bands together and votes to surrender. What if that 1 voter who votes no; thinks there is a smidget of a chance to win calls out to his team that they are able to win but the 4 others still decide to surrender...Why should the 1 voter who votes "no" be punished and lose Lp simply because 4 others wish to? I believe there should be a system in place for the odd man out. Yes, if your good enough You'll get your LP back, Yes you can attempt to win more games afterwards, but when the game is in your hands in solo que and you try your best, why then is it completely out of your control on a surrender vote? Solo que is based around our skill...When things in the game are out of our control we learn about how to adapt to it...How do you adapt to a surrender when ya beg your team not surrender?

The surrender vote is a majority. If the majority of the team thinks its a big old waste of time to continue then deal with it. No need to get a reward for being a special butterfly who thinks every game has a chance of being won, cause there are games that cannot be won.

LOL you want this.. that's funny.. what they need to do is fix it and make it so you can surrender with 3 votes instead of 4... 4 is impossible to get when u got the beevus and butthead premade squad in your game and they dont surrender.

I have almost the same issue with you, just about trolls, please check out my post "Remaking the Game When there is a Troller or Feeder", thank you!

Not assuming that this example is you, but there is literally nothing worse than a player who's poor play( dies multiple times, allows lane to roam without punishing/pinging, etc.) is converted into significant advantages for the enemy team refusing to surrender. The majority of league players don't care about your moral code. It is one thing to continue to try to win and be positive if your team is invested in the game. It is an entirely different thing to hold a group of 1-3 players hostage in a game that you made significantly harder to win with your poor play.

I get that you might want to do this, but think of the bigger picture. You can have someone literally running down mid intentionally feeding and when you vote to surrender because you are stuck in a unwinnable game he goes "psyche I ain't letting you leave trollololol." it suddenly seems rather stupid that you need all five people to surrender.

Your judgement call may not always be right, and that's not an attack on you. My point here is that the one single person who believes that the game could be turned around might not be right. Yes, you might have been able to turn it around, but it's just as likely you couldn't have. I know it could be frustrating, but the system isn't designed to work for that single special case where you could have turned it around.
