Change TFT surrender time

Katsuo Yuko··25 votes·45,939 views

i hate starting a game and not getting the pick i want in first carousel then not getting any items, but still having to wait till 10 minutes to ff. It doesn't hurt anyone, it should be shortened to like 3 minutes which is about when they finish 1st stage, or 5 minutes which is a round number :3

Not really, because if you get zero items from the first few creep rounds you are extremely likely to lose, and its really demoralising if you actually try and play it out.

Yeah cool, but if you can surrender after 3 minutes, half of the team will be gone before the first pvp round. Every game. Riot should just set a minimum amount for item drops for the first 3 creep rounds, so that it's not complete rng.

My friend got econ 3 by the first carrousel and ended up winning the game because he got only gold and no items from the creeps. So getting no items doesn't mean a loss

I've never seen anyone surrender in TFT. I have however seen people get no items through rocks and just sell everything to open and leave the game.

Agreed - the game is mostly RNG. It's easy to realize you have little to no chance of winning after just a couple minutes. No point in holding players hostage since there isn't a team involved. There's little to no interactivity with enemy players either, so it's practically a single player game. Players should always be able to walk away from a single player game.

You surrender?! XD

I had no idea there was a limitation. I have quit precisely one game that I would consider "early", and it let me without a fuss.

We sometimes use the surrender function to re-party with party, 10 mins is about right though

10 minutes is about right, you shouldn't be quitting because you didn't get what you needed in the first 5 rounds. That defeats the whole purpose of the game.

You need to be in top 4 to "win"

In my opinion 10minutes is just fine, what you are describing is that you do not get enough items, while others do. The solution to this problem is NOT being able to ff early. This would just be fighting the symptoms. The solution to this problem is to make the amount of item drops fairer.

Right now it can be considered unfair, I made a poll in the german forums. As of now 70% of players perceive the item system as it is now is rather negative.

With the next patch the item amount is being made fairer, but not fair. It's a step in the right direction, but it's still heavily luck based and the only reason it's fairer than the system as of now is because the system right now is absurdly unfair.

The system that is planned is still absurdly unfair and will therefor not solve your problem.

if i gota good comp... you have awesome items... i win... then its still unfair right?

Ser Parmesan2 votes

why is that unfair? usually the player with the better items and understanding wins. I usually loose due to the lack of items, not due to bad luck with champs.

The difference between items and champs is i can reroll champs and therefor guarantee good champs or make them really likely, i cannot reroll my chance to get an item.

only unfair is when i look at the enemy after 3 rounds and he has 6 single items IE: 3 full, and i dont have any, or a couple gold coins... wooof... but poker is fair... this is the same so stop crying ^^

Ser Parmesan1 votes

thats what i meant to say: difference in item amount is perceived unfair and honestly it is unfair.

But in poker you can fold, raise, do mind games, and all of that jazz.

TFT is much less fair, if you get unlucky in TFT, you're gonna lose a bunch of HP and get on a losing streak, not get as much gold as the winners, and get further and further behind.

In Poker, each round is seperate, with only your chips which you can control the use of as the constant

My last win I got 1 item from all minions and none from wolves. Got 2 NLRs from krugs after using everything else in desperation. Gave Rabadons to Varus who had a Shiv from starting recurve and carousel tear, he destroyed.

Just because you get tilted from your luck doesn't mean riot should change the time. If they change it, people will just spam surrender to earn tokens, the player amount will be lower and most of the times games will be half empty. Riot are working on the item drops and RNG affecting people less. Also, not getting a lot of items doesn't mean you lose the game. The champion cycle helps you get the item you need if you're behind, which leaves the top players at a disadvantage. You can fall on 1hp early and still win the game.

I understand having this for RANKED TFT but not for normals. I use TFT to wait for my friends to get out of their games to play with them, and this makes it very hard to do that. I just liked the little throw away normal games to play while waiting for people. [zombie-brand-mindblown]
