I just afk'd

Every lane of ours lost, score was 20 to 5 and we had taken no towers while they had taken 3. One person voted no to ff at 15 so I said I'd afk at the next vote. Next vote comes along and the score is now 22 to 7 and we still had taken no objectives and lost a couple more towers. Someone started vote, I voted yes, said ggwp and left. What do you do when the game is obviously lost but stubborn teammates want to keep trying?

Play it out, be honorable and practice from behind. When you give your team the ultimatum of ff or i afk, you should be punished. That mindset will tilt your next game and you will keep losing. I get that it sucks when that happens but if you do you best and look at it as practice then you won’t tilt as easy for the next game. Also there is a reason why they have 3 towers and your team has none so learn why and adapt. Gl on your next games man! Also what elo is it?

Is it practicing from behind or is it wasting time? I'd argue when the enemy team has 3 times as much gold as you, it's wasting time. And I'd also argue it's more honorable to take the hit and afk than force teammates to stall only to surely lose 5 minutes later.

Yeah you're right a game like that is tilting, I already decided I'm done for the day after that.

Honestly I'll accept the consequences if I get banned for that. I'd afk 9 times out of 10 in that kind of scenario. It's not that I want them to ff, it's more that I'm telling them I'm not wasting more time in this game.

Yeah the reason is we lost early game in every lane. Plat elo.

Playing from behind isn’t a waist of time. A lot of people have a hard time ending the game. I have had people on my team suck early game but we stalled it out with just our nexus and the crap players became godlike when they hit lvls 15-18. People who quit so early, it shows how little they know about the game. You can always come back. If you are good enough you can 1v9. In the past weekend I have won a lot of games when my duo and I didn’t ff so our team played it out. We won. It was worth the lp and the mmr gain. But ppl who rage and quit are not honorable and should be banned. I’m happy you weren’t on my team this weekend I’m sure some of the games I won you would have afked and I would have lost. What champs do you play? Your plat 5,4,3,2,1?? We should duo and I’ll show you how to hard carry games man. There is an art to winning the game and have a negative kda LOL (I don’t recommend or prefer it, but I’ll do it when I’m behind).

Depending on the state of the game and teamcomp, I either just walk around farming minions while avoiding the enemy team as much as possible, or I'll just AFK splitpush until it ends. I wouldn't go AFK outright, as that can land you in low priority que.

But if you're there either way you might as well try to win right? Or do you just want the game to end asap in those situations so you afk push lane?

Well I play Nasus primarily, so AFK splitting can work. Its very unlikely, but if my teammates somehow pull off some miracle defense at our inhib/nexus turrets or the other team messes up really bad, I can potentially take an inhib and get us back into the game. Other times there is virtually no chance of that happening though so I just walk around farming and avoiding the enemy team.

But yeah, I do want the game to end ASAP in those situations.
