Surrendering comes one in the same with winning

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that a great many people in all elos seem to just up and ff when there is no clear reason to even consider it to any one who knows stages of the game? lately in ranked matches (and admittedly I am only silver) but it seems that people pick champs that need to farm, or wait for level 6 for their "all in" or need a specific item to be even relevant in the early to mid game at all it seems that they try to do what they need to do for the team and just do as they want to do it, not that it wouldn't work, but it seems that they don't make good decisions when they get to the point where they have to make a team fight decision or such and put them selves behind to where the mid game is going to be a pain like all have experienced before.

However it seems that the moment someone falls behind thinking the thought oh i picked say Nasus and say some one decides to marksmen top to harass him out of stacks so at 20 min hes saying FF@20 I only have 150 stacks and 80 farm but the whole game you watch him go ham walk right up to the adc get kited and killed regularly i understand that some people really think that doing well on a champ once means they are a god a playing them and they auto main til they lose, but it seems that when people do badly early game with late game champs they keep playing the early game like its late game and think it was impossible to win from the start and spam the FF button the rest of the game tilting themselves further into oblivion. Its not just that, but they adamantly refuse to even attempt to wait out they're own playing style to look for the opponents mistakes so that they can punish that and slowly climb back into relavence for later in the game.

I honestly feel if some ones KDA in a game is less then a whole number they shouldn't even have the right to FF for one.

Second I don't think that FF'ing should be a thing, but i know that wont happen Riot seems to thrive off the lowest elo people spending money into the game getting themselves banned though rage toxicity and such which all comes straight from the FF button. I mean for all fks sake i have not been in one game where the thing known as the surrender button cause more toxicity in a game then someone who feeding the enemy. In my opinion the FF button is the way to saying that I'm done with the game and i wont play as well as i can because I'm just going to tilt myself further make more mistakes myself blame my team feed and eventually dc cuz i don't care anymore mindset. The FF button was an unnecessary component added to do just this if there was a separated que for people who wanted to ff for any game they didn't carry in you could save pixels and not even add the nexus because its a guarantee that 99.9% of the games there wouldn't make it passed 20 minutes.

This does happen a lot, to me as well admittedly. If it is normal not such a big deal, but in ranked you should NEVER surrender. EVER.

Current game pacing is incredibly fast, and comebacks are very difficult. You'd have to throw pretty darn hard to give up an early lead now. This is especially true at higher ranked games, because people tend to not make the sorts of huge mistakes that would throw that kind of early advantage. People watch these high level players stream and see them surrendering at 20 (or sometimes even conceding and having the other team push down mid pre-20), which is probably where a lot of lower ranked players get the notion that the game is over once one team gets an early lead.
