Games are ending MUCH sooner than they did in previous seasons.
However I have heard speculation that Riot's Draconian System is punishing people for attempting to start an "Open mid" vote. Is this true or is it flimshaw ?
SoundChaosDebug9 votesThis defeatist mentality, pretending you've already lost the match before it is over. That is why on the korean servers people quit literally after first blood goes to enemy team, people can't finish what they start anymore.

Grand master chess players will tip over their king when they realize that there is no chance of victory.
TrulyBland2 votesChess games are more predictable. And I assure you: No grand master chess player will tip over their king over an estimate.
Chønklord5 votesThis isn't Chess and league players aren't master chess players.
Being a team game designed the way league is, while it does have standard elements of strategy and tactics, it is by no means on par with something like chess or how chess is designed as a game.
In chess, there are only so many moves you make until there is a winner (or loser); with league, willpower and the ability to work in unity and focus to achieve objectives, is just as -- if not more -- important as strategic thinking and gameplay mechanics.
There is no pre-defined event outside of your nexus blowing up or having someone afk, that determines your victory or loss before your nexus blows up. Objectives are almost always achievable, and it is possible to make comebacks through a combination of sheer willpower, determination, itemization, teamwork, focus and a lot of luck.

What are "Analogy, metaphor and simile" for 500 Alex
ModPeriscope2 votesSo the analogy, metaphor, and simile do not apply to this game.

Chønklord4 votesI tire of your games, human.
Be gone lest you jeopardize your soul.
Bird Brains3 votesI think you should be able to /ff at any point (past 3 minutes) in the game.

Lauchmelder1 votesI'm all for it if the player that initiated the vote gets a 2 hour cooldown for it. (stacking btw, it drops a tier after a week without doing it. So 2h, 4h, 6h, etc.)
Karunamon1 votesHonestly - I tend to agree. There is a point at which you're down 30 kills and 2 turrets that you realize you're getting roflstomped, and you just want to end it already so you can move on to your next game.
Especially when you're down players. DOTA at least has the courtesy to let everyone leave with no penalty once summoners disconnect early game.
Lauchmelder2 votesIf you only ask then not.
Acting like your team agreed on opening even though they didn't probably is. (aka opening mid while your team said no)

I always ask. I have never once rage-afked... I recently "afked" because I got a blackout in my neighborhood which made me feel horrid but I have intentionally afked like... between 5 and 8 times over the course of 7 years of LoL.... and those times I was usually afking because my ambulance had arrived (Heart problems).
Anyway, if no one wants to open mid, I continue playing, a bit more safely to avoid feeding and await the inevitable defeat and/or surrender at 20.
EDIT: I think I have only ... twice, rage-afked.... once we were , I think 0-28 at about 15 minutes and I just said "Yeah fuck it I'm just waiting at fountain" and the other I don't clearly remember.
Lauchmelder1 votesNot gonna say that I like the attitude of an early "can we open" question, but it's a normal question.
If you continue playing when your team wants to continue then I can't and won't report you.
It would be a joke if this would be punishable.
Big Lincoln1 votesno
Chønklord1 votesI think giving up at any stage of the game should be punishable as "afk/left game" -- unless your nexus is about to blow up.
I've come back from all inhibs down, fighting baron'd supers, and winning a single teamfight that led to taking all the enemy's turrets. So, anything is possible until the screen says "DEFEAT".

I'd like to add that if I had a positive team member that really wanted to win as opposed to a total asshole of one that wanted to win, I'd be more inclined (and have actually supported to victory) to keep playing with the positive guy. Just my two cents.
