Feeding and then blocking surrender vote should not be possible

Players with feeding KDA should not be allowed to participate in surrender votes. Today I had multiple games with feeders where they hold me hostage in their shit. Seriously, what are they thinking?

Imagine you played a board game with four of your friends, and three of them said, "Okay, you win, we surrender", but you forced them to continue to play? Sounds ridiculous? Well, in League, that's normal.

I totally have enough of this unsportsmanlike crap. And don't tell me anything about comeback chances. I'm talking about normals. If you feed, that happens, okay. But don't force the game on others if there is nothing at stake anyways. Snowball meta does its work, too. I kindly advise these people to reconsider their choice of playing any co-op game as well as review their social skills.

It's hard enough to grind for good teams in this snowbally coinflip meta. This is just too much.

I've had games where I was 0-8 then came back and won the game for my team. Never surrender in ranked, there is always a way if you push yourself beyond your limits. [slayer-jinx-wink]

Your score does not make you any less of a team member. The surrender vote only requires 4/5 team members to want to surrender - if it's only 3/2 it's too close to 50/50 for there to be a justification for the three people to get to force the 2 others to quit the game.

When you click queue and accept it, you're signing up to play a game until the nexus falls, no matter what happens. Unless the supermajority (majority + 1) of the team wants to end it early, you have no right to expect them to do so, as you signed up to play a full game.

I hear you, it's super annoying. Happened to me last night as an alkali and rengar went around one shotting our team. 3 people wanted to keep going. We lost with like no chance at all after 40 minutes of sitting in base killing super minions and watching them get dragon after dragon and baron and elder.

But to make a rule like this is just ridiculous in my opinion. It's too ...elitist? I don't know. It's just a selfish idea that you want. KDA is not nearly as important as many think. You can feed and get objectives. You would have to have ridiculous stipulations. Like if you have 11 deaths at 15 minutes with no kills, no tower kills, and less than 2 assists. Lol I know, those are pretty arbitrary numbers, but it would have to be something extreme like that. Even then, I personally don't think it's necessary.

You don't want people to dictate your surrendering ability, yet you want to dictate theirs?

I don't buy into the whole "hostage" argument in these kinds of situations, unless the other team is also complicit.

Either you're going to lose quickly anyway, or you've got a decent chance of recovery. If the game looks lost at 15 minutes but takes another 20 minutes to end, then it clearly wasn't lost at 15 minutes.

I disagree, and your lack of understanding in the meta certainly isn't helping your cause but norms are full of people trying stuff and it's fair if they want to try to come back from a loss, I play a lot of norms with friends. I assume others to aswell
