Being behind 10 kills isn't that bad. What dnastyx said is pretty accurate. I usually stick around games where I wait for the enemy team to make a huge mistake where we can capitalize. I'm optimistic to a point where I look for openings where catching one noob => 4v5 => take down mid inhib or something to that extent.

But if the situation has become so bad where even if we catch one guy out of position but we'd still lose 4v5 or if we steal Baron, back safely and would still lose a team fight, the game is pretty much over and I just want a new game.

Let's talk about surrenders:

I seem to be the only one who likes surrendering hopeless games, so why do YOU vote no?

I'm curious, I want to know.


There are some situations I know are completely hopeless (everyone on our team lvl 8, every opponent lvl 12, 1-10 score) that I will surrender. Usually if they are pushing into our base and destroying the towers before the minions die,its GG. However, there was a game i played yesterday where the opponents were pretty fed earlygame (5-10 score or something similar) and pushed us all the way back to our inhibitor turret, and my teammates were put through 2 surrender votes where one of our teammates wouldn't surrender. As time went on though, we started making a comeback (it helped getting warmogs and a couple other high-tier items), and eventually pushed the opponents into their base and they surrendered.

If you are not 100% you are going to lose, then you shouldn't surrender. If they are not 3-4 levels ahead of your team and they are not pushing into your base with an unstoppable force of champions, then don't surrender.



I've won where we went 0-10 before. Because the first baron didn't go to them.


Well, going 0-10 on Summoners Rift is considerably less devastating compared to 0-10 on TT
Survival is winning, everything else is bullshit.

I rarely surrender unless i have very bad team mate with extremely low morale and feed like 10 times in the first 20 mins.
I fucking hate noobs that see a early game disadvantage and immediately cast a surrender vote and then do it over and over again. These people are annoying -_-.

Something like a fed Karthus or Irelia is impossible to deal with while almost anything else is manageable. What's even more important than comp is how tryhard bad the other team is. If it's obvious they are bad then they WILL make more mistakes than you later. So basically surrender quick vs good teams, never surrender vs bad ones.

Conspiracy Mode

Riot's Motto is something like 'we don't sell (direct) advantages'
This motto just happens to be a convenient bi-product of profit maxing micro transaction company.
Reasoning:
Runes are IP (useful) sinks. Rune pricing seems to be determined by obviously useful = more expensive.

The only way Riot would give a permanent reduction in T3 prices would be to introduce a T4 and revise T4 prices.

EXAMPLE: mp5/lvl Blues and Yellows or Armor yellows will probably be significantly more expensive because everyone now knows that they are extremely valuable.

I forsee in the future riot allowing RP to be purchased in any whole number $ amount.

TL;DR
RP = Gift Card
Champions = IP Sink
IP = Bait
Rune Prices = Deliberate IP sink setup
Evidence: IP per Game Adjustment and Champion Price Reduction

I have not found a free game with cash transactions whose model separates power/cash as well as LoL. The grind is acceptable, the "power requirement" in games is low, and it's not based on some convoluted rare drop/proc system.

I think a big part of it is that there are enough cheap runes that are useful on many champs, and also that the 450 champs are viable in the highest tiers of play (except maybe kayle )

On surrendering: I'm inclined to vote no in ranked, but I usually wait too see if the vote hinges on me before voting no. In normals I'm inclined to vote yes, I generally consider them practice games, and unless there is a definite chance of winning I'm content to requeue and try again.

I remember a game last night I think actually where we were something like 6-12 and down a dragon or two, but they had a much weaker late game comp + I was fed Mundo + I was Mundo, who surrenders when he pleases + their Kennen was super noob and actually died to me in lane. A couple times.
Anyways my point is I usually don't surrender until solo pushing is impossible or they have an inhibitor down at least.

Hmmm i wonder if the matchmaking in EU is really broken. I duo-triple queue with my friends (my EU acc is lvl 23, they are like lvl 10 and lvl 13) and once in 2-3 games either side gets 1600-1900 Elo player. 4 people under lvl 30 and 1 high ranked Elo lvl 30 o.o

Sometimes I vote no in unwinnable games when we have some raging dude yelling at team to vote yes.

My only problem with the rp/ip system setup is runepages, fucking runepages. 6300 ip is a shitload for just one. If I want to be able to play akali and udyr I pretty much need two pages that are only useful on those two champs.

one by one all the ridiculously overefficient durability items have fallen

sunfire
frozen heart
randuins
locket
banshee's
guardian
spirit visage
doran's ring
doran's blade
heart of gold

many of these weren't considered particularly good until those one step higher in the broken hierarchy were felled

what is the next evolution? I ask you gentlemen

my bet: philo stone + double doran's ring or shield

I think philo stone is secretly way overefficient

Next step = aegis

Philo is fine being cost efficient because of the build routes, and its stats being shitty for team fights.
