something to ponder.......

or do you give up because you have lost

If you've already lost, then the game is over, and giving up is irrelevant. If you're talking about giving up because you think the game is lost, why not keep trying? Game's not over until a nexus explodes.

you lose because you've given up. sometimes you have to never give up until the very end. In a recent game of mine i had a graves jg who was feeding quite a bit. We didn't flame though asked them to try and not get caught out so much, but didn't help. Eventually enemy team went for game closing baron, Graves dashed in and stole baron at the cost of his life one finally worth the death. We won that game. It was a tilting roller coaster to start, but i didn't lose hope and that baron steal ignited the spark in the team that was fading. Never give up, yeah some are unwinnable and others just need that extra bit of faith. That extra bit is the hardest though it entails carrying your bum off and no flaming owning your mistakes and doing what you gotta do to win. Show how bad you want it at the very end and you will win more games that look to be over.
