Never Surrender on ARAM

As the title says you should never surrender on aram as it is never over till the fat lady sings and the nexus explodes.

I actually have a couple of stories about why you should never /ff.

This one is the freshest in my mind because it happened last night October 7th

I was playing volibear and at the time things were not going great, the score was heavyily one sided on there way, ez, cait, morg, skarner, soraka were doing a number on myself, twitch, tf, janna, annie. Surrender vote comes it it fails because i dont ever quit and neither does my gf, well we were also only down one tower. Things keep going and its still not looking good our second tower was almost down and another /ff comes in and again fails which prompted someone to say this game was over 10 mins ago why prolong it.

Well i have played over 2500 ARAM's and never once voted yes in a surrender vote and i mentioned that to which i think the janna said well we just got to work together. With the inhib down and us defending for our lives we managed to push them away get some kills and push back, the next surrender vote failed 1/4 as our team was growing in confidence and we managed to get a tower then another but when we died of course there was another /ff which failed 2/3.

Before you knew it we had aced them, taken out their inhib and both nexus towers but even with tf and twitch we just couldnt backdoor them, and even lost one of our own nexus turrets BUT....

One good team fight and killing 3 of them off and our team blocking the other 2 myself and tf charged down and took out the nexus for the win in a mararthon 41 min Aram.

At the end it seemed that the other team had some in fighting going on so that kinda helped i guess but like i said we fought to the death and stuck with it and won the game. I am not gonna say they will all go like this as many dont but really if you dont keep fighting and /ff then you never know what can happen.

One similar to this was even worse when my teams nexus was down to 14 yes 14 health because i looked at it and we fought them off and pushed back inch by inch wave by wave and ended up taking down 4 towers, an inhib and a nexus in several pushes to win and have that great feeling of never give up.

Lastly there is no reason to say gg lets /ff at 15 when you see the enemy team. Recently i looked at the other team and its like seriously this has to be a joke this is not random

Yes they took out our first two towers, yes they were picking us off all the time but we didnt just say oh well we lost, no we fought and we won.

So guys dont /ff because you never know what is going to happen and even when things look bleak dont /ff play out the game and even if you loose you loose it is not a big deal but just keep on playing till the end and try dont just give up.

Surrendering in ARAM is stupid but it's become rampant since the SR crowd starting flooding the map (I guess around the time we got mark/dash). As we all know, nobody actually completes SR matches, they only surrender.

Oh well, if I had a Janna and a ranged AD carry and someone on my team threw up a surrender I'd probably take it because they're clearly a retard and they need to be in gutter trash elo where they belong.

no i just have fun and dont surrender and hate the fact that people are willing to /ff more often now that the surrender time has come down to 15 mins.

Other people just want to have fun too. Sometimes they determine by 15 minutes that a game won't be fun so they want to leave. Maybe the next game will be fun. Maybe they hate the fact that teams full of people like you hold them hostage in unfun games

i agree with this person whole heartedly. you never know when you and your team of random people are going to have a moment of perfect team work and win the game. i have started 2 surrender votes in over 2500 games of aram

It's win or lose. Sorry but everyone don't think like you and the sheep. If you are not playing the game the way RIOT intended you are in the wrong. PERIOD!!! Move on to single player games where your BS thought process don't affect real people playing the game the way RIOT intended.

Okay? Riot intended for us to be able to surrender at 15 minutes in ARAMS if majority won. That's why Riot gave us the option. Riot intends for us to have fun with their game. Playing with people who suck isn't always fun for everyone and for those people, there's the surrender vote.

Also, don't call people sheep. No matter what the circumstances, it'll only make you sound like a tool.

Key point being other people. You are the tool my friend for wasting the time of other people with your BS play if you feel the need to use the surrender button as a crutch to not get better.

If you honestly think playing ARAM makes you a better player, you're probably several times worse at this game than you think I am.

Typical assumption from someone who don't have a clue and could give a shit about anyone but themselves. Good luck in life with that mind set. You will need it.

Why would someone ff at 1 tower down? That's not a story of never surrender, it's a story of some dude spamming it for no reason.

You ff when your inhib goes down and you don't have a single tower yet.

Basically the guy didnt want to play on and thought we were gonna loose so wanted to give up because we were down in kills and he thought there was no point to contimue because he thought we were going to loose.

The main point of the story is that no matter how bad things may look you have a chance to win and we did just that.

It's not no matter how bad things look. Again, if you lose your inhib before you can even take 1 tower and are STILL losing fights, that's game.

we were gonna loose

You need to tighten up your game then.

You can surrender an ARAM match? I thought all games end before 15 min mark.

PS. Please include TL;DR, because TL;DR.
