A better surrender

jay9154··57 votes·5,526 views

Everyone knows that once you surrender your nexus blows up and that is it. I propose that once a team surrenders the giant turret that guards the healing base should focus its beam on the nexus and blow it up, or even better the turret stands up and walks over to the nexus and bashes it. Just something that shows real disgrace for a team that ops for surrender.

You know what,i have a suggestion.

What if every Champlain has his own surrender style,i mean like when they surrender,they fall on their knees or something like that.

** It's gonna be kinda complicated,to make a new style for every champion,but if Riot have done that,that would be so damn AWESOME.**'

Why just have actions for a surrender/defeat? The winning champions should be celebrating instead of just standing there awkwardly after they just blew up the enemy nexus or forced the enemy team to surrender. This could add thematic cohesion as Riot likes to call it. After all they are champions (great warriors, bursty mages, tanky duelers, vigilant protectors, slippery assassins etc.) of epic proportions, so much so they were allowed to join the League of LEGENDS. Upon entering the fields of justice, working with four other League members to defeat 5 other equally matched League members, and destroying tower after tower to reach and hit that last tick on the enemy nexus anyone would at least stand proudly or give one of their teammates a high-five. It just makes sense to have the champions behaving during the "Victory/Defeat" pop-up instead of not doing anything.

They are in the process of remaking SR, maybe they could add this as well XD

I agree. In an LCS match, or for any Esport for that matter, I think there should be a tribute kind of thing. When you win the World Championship, it's a symbol that you are much better than the millions that play this game. Take the season 3 footage from SKT T1's victory. They didn't stand there awkwardly when they won. They cheered, and in turn it made me share in their victory.

That would be similar to the dance of all the winners in the Ascension Mode. That's only the dance animation though.

Interesting suggestions! What about some sort of celebratory ceremony that happens at like, the end of a big event such as a major sports final? Confetti, fireworks, lights dimming, spotlights on the winning team? That could be cool!

Blackquill2 votes

YES! 1000 Times YES! Make it happen! :D

Edit: By the way. May i suggest something? You all know what happens when someone on your team quits, right? 4v5 GG Easy, plz report. But what if another one on your team says "This makes no sense, this game is lost, plz surrender" but the team won't surrender? He is forced to "play" (let's be honest, he'll feed). I suggest that, after the frist one left, the others can leave without getting punished. And if one team has less than 3 players the game will exit immediatly with a win for the other team.

I can undestand if you don't like this idea but i'm sick of teammates who just don't want to realise when a game is lost (And i'm normally not the one who gives up that quick, but if my team is like 15 kills behind...)

Better Idea, if you lose a 4v5 or situation where the teams aren't equal, the team with less players should be lose prevented or lose less lp, and if you win with less players you should be a few bonus lp, and maybe make it so the closer to the end players left the less the bonus is in order to prevent exploiters. But I have to say that if you were about to lose and knew that you could just leave and be lose prevented or something it would break the ranked system, as people could just grab a friend or too and just leave games the second they start with little penalty. Best solution would just be to enforce leave-buster more.

Blackquill1 votes

Please, no. I've had my experienced with the LeaverBuster due to random disconnects. My internet connection is stable 99% of the time and i'm really not the player who simply leaves (Even if my teammates are complete jerks who annoy and troll me).

I absolutely hate the LeaverBuster even though i can understand why Riot created it.

Qrrbrrbirbel2 votes

Of course , this would need a timer like in DotA 2. After X minutes that the player(s) is gone other players can leave without/reduced penalty. this way you can't just leave right before the game ends, it would have to be a much longer timer for ranked games, even then it should still only be a massive reduction in LP loss.

Blackquill1 votes

Your suggestion would be an even better solution for this problem. Thank you for sharing this idea! ^^

Shadow spire1 votes

Thats a cool idea but then there are those games where u could have a major comeback (rare) and sometimes people just play the game for fun. But about the feeding thing I think that there should be a thing where the game moniters someones current play and then if they start feeding or playing differently it sees that and automatically punishes them (like 1 day banned or something) if they get reported at the end of the match. Just a idea :D

Blackquill1 votes

Please not. This bot would misinterpret the players gameplay all the time!

I really like the idea of spotlights on winners, because it's not too "show off" but still adds a little something, and I'm also thinking about all the champions of the winning team laughing or dancing !

Add Me After2 votes

I would hope the celebratory ceremony wont be that big. While I think having the base's turret fire and blow up its own nexus is cool, and having the winning teams (alive) champions dance is not that bad. Having it go to "over" the top my damper the community just a bit. Nerveless if you move in this direction I have faith you will make it work!

Having the dead champions dance would just be creepy.

Turrets carry swords right? They should commit seppuku when you surrender. It only makes sense :P

JackYAqua5 votes

On the one hand I agree. This would be awesome.
But then again, what if your team is toxic? Or if someone is afk? It would just add to the ridicule of the enemies laugh-spamming.

DarkNeon2 votes

How about they make it so that the effect only happens after a certain period of time? I mean, if a game lasted for 45 minutes, it was probably a good, close one.

Taarki8 votes

if its a good close game, why surrender? there is nothing wrong with getting outplayed once in a while.

ean5212 votes

Yeah, I'm that dude who always denies the surrender. I've never voted for a surrender or started a surrender vote.

NinjaFifer5 votes

I used to be like that. Then I started getting AFK's on half of my games. Surrender just saves me time in those cases. I despise people who surrender right before the opposing team blows up your nexus. Sure, defeat is in sight, but suck it up and let the enemy team enjoy their victory.

kayakninja3 votes

On the one hand, I agree with you. On the other, the double explosion looks really cool when it happens.

yamikxze1 votes

I don't think they should spam laugh, but I do like the idea above where the champions rejoice by jumping or pumping their swords or something.

Blackquill4 votes

I'm for the beam variant. I like this idea. :) And i also think that it is a lot easier to animate.

CarbonWyre4 votes

Gonna go ahead and say there should be an option for "Game is just over, no explosion, no ceremony, just 'Surrendered' appears on the screen and you leave.".

Why do I suggest this? Because, I already feel terrible enough for their support nami being strong enough to 1v3 us, I don't need to feel even worse for surrendering for it.

DanteViero3 votes

oh come on guys it would be way more epic for the turret to bash the nexus

ceering991 votes

Maybe the obelisk could fall over and smash the Nexus? It would be cool if there were like 5 animations and it was random which one happened.

ScholarUrf2 votes

Best Idea ever <3

Thanotos Omega2 votes

This isn't a good idea, They already lost and have to sit through a defeat message, this seems like just wanting to rub it in that they couldn't win,

Sgt Brunch2 votes

Yeah agreed, Champions should burst into dance when they win a game not just when Sona ults!

Teds2 votes

To add on to this idea, there needs to be a new look to the victory and defeat messages that show up once you win or lose, to match the style of the new map.

Good idea and am I one of the few that plays lol in Australia???

I don't see why there should be disgrace in surrendering. There are plenty of games where players want to get out of a game because the players they are with are creating a negative gaming experience. Whether it's the enemy spawn camping you, your own teammates following you around trying to steal every minion and jungle camp you go to, constantly losing 4v5 or 3v5 battles, I find surrendering to be a good option for everyone to depart with minimum suffering. I don't favor making an already negative experience even worse by adding this unnecessary display.

Summoner's Code 6 encourages players to "Show Humility in Victory, and Grace in Defeat"

"Having a great game is one of the biggest joys that League of Legends can bring you. But always bear in mind that when you're relishing that landslide victory there is someone on the receiving end that is probably ripping their hair out. While it's alright to celebrate, make sure that you keep any gloating (or any other mode of self-indulgence) out of all chat."

I'm very glad you liked my idea.

i hope this will help XD

Seems less like a "how disgraceful to surrender" and more like "We're losing on -our- terms, not yours".

With that in mind I think both are cool. But I'd hardly call them the shameful option. I mean really, play some mobas that don't have a surrender button and you too will be sobbing for a "Let me leave this arguing mess of infants" button.

I'd rather the turrets started moving, one for each member of the team, and goes and beats the crap out of them, with a 5 way split screen for each champ, showing them getting smashed :D

Nidalee another suggestion. I was wondering how hard it would be to make an option for the UI to be at the top of the screen rather then at the bottom like it is now. reasoning for this is because when you are on the red team you have less visibility of key vission than the blue team when laneing, example, playing a middle lane on red team as nidalee trying to land spears is more difficult because you opponent can hide within the UI (bottom left corner). now if this was able to be placed on the top of the screen you would gain vision of the screen where all the action is. Just a thought i believe it would be A HUGE help to allot of summoners. Thanks for your time. Reply Quote Edit Delete Permalink Add an attachment

Maybe there could be a beam that comes from each of the standing structures on the enemy's side, and it attacks the nexus. About the champion's animations, maybe a cheering kind of thing for the victorious side, and maybe a facepalm or something light on the enemy's side. no excessive death needed. Maybe if there's an enemy near an ally, they shake hands in a sign of Good Game. Wouldn't it be cool to see a Kayle shake hands with her fallen sister, Morgana? Let's face it, if you're down by 30 kills, 3 barons and 20 dragons, do you really want to see your champion die again? I think it would be humiliating.

Alric Corviseir1 votes

How about taking surrendering out all together? Surrendering is only used by people who have decided in their mind that there is no hope in winning or that the game is not going to be over as soon as they would like.

Shadow spire1 votes

It is also a last resort and saves time -...- and allows people to quit the game and not get reported when there is no hope of winning even if u and your teammates tried your hardest but can't do anything to other team (ex. they're too fed, have too much farm, 2 barons, 5 dragons, etc).

One of three random celebrations would be interesting, it would add some anticipation as to which celebration would occur. Have there be a pause where the players wonder which celebration they will get.

More than that, I think it would be cool if a celebration was based on the winning champs, tying in the world lore. If two or more of a given nation are in the winning team, that would decide the animation.

If two or more Demacians, then a Demacian salute with trumpets, etc...

If two or more Yordles, then a few Yordles pop out and have a celebratory dance.

Two or more Freljordians get an icestorm that destroys the nexus, frosting the area.

Etc...

I know that the blue turret has a hammer with a stone on the front, what if she uses the hammer to destroy the Nexus? The other one doesn't have weapon though. Or it doesn't have to be the turret but the shopkeeper, the one on the blue side can have his... dinosaur? run into the Nexus causing it to explode, and the one on the red side, can send out a huge cannon ball from his ship (i don't have any idea...), or something like that.
