It sure isn't a lot of fun to get ganked by nguyenxx's Nunu once every 20 seconds, while having a Soraka with extremely inflated ego (elo?) telling you how bad you are. Meanwhile Amumu is going 1-7.

But luckily a properly runed Kog'Maw is a bitch to take down and beats Kassadin anyways. Annie going 8-0 (into 13-3) on bot lane without ever having to worry about ganks helps too.
Our Nasus made some last attempts at throwing the game ("I tanked all of them for a good 15 seconds!" "Annie and Kog were nowhere near you."), but in the end me and Annie were too fed.

First time playing Garen and doing extremely well, just to have the game lost by a feeding Vayne and trolling Nidalee.

Akali 1v2ed solo top. The problem was not that she lost her tower like most solo top people do, but she lost it 5 minutes. I am not exaggerating.

I'm sorry Shiragaku, that is depressing. As an Akali player myself I know how tough 2v1 is but...5 minutes. Damn. That sucks. If it makes you feel better I have gotten DC'ed from the last 3 games I have gotten into.

That's normal if the 2 have any idea how to play this game.

Doing well in soloqueue normals as singed. 2-3 towers up and about even kills.
Go afk for 3 mins to walk dog
Come back to defeat screen.

Seriously wtf... we still had all 3 inner turrets, inhibitor turrets, nexus turrets and 4 people.

Uh, seriously? A team that has their stuff together can roll over turrets like nothing. Depending on team composition and whether or not you announced you were afk, its really freaking easy to lose 4v5, then have all the turrets knocked down in short order.

I fucking hate the people who troll by not surrendering. FUCK I hate those people. the game is fucking over by 20 minutes and you think its fucking funny to make us play a shitty game for 20 more minutes until they can just steamroll the inner towers fucking christ. I don't want to play this fucking shit after I won my fucking lane and you all fucking fed them to shit. God fucking damm.

I hate people who surrender. Due to premature surrendering I have taken on principal to never surrender. If they're not close to finishing, we can turn it. If they're close to finishing, let them have the satisfaction.

Never surrender!!!

Remember back in the old SC1 days where pros like boxer and shit would never surrender? Ever. No matter what. So you'd have awesome hour long slugfests where people turtled on an island and could watch the funniest and most awesome defenses. Now look at kids these days.

It's like, they knew they couldn't actually win in most cases. They just did it for fun. You'd never get to see that if everyone was like the new "it's over, surrender now!!!" people.

While for the most part I agree, SC is generally a 1v1 game. At most 4 other people can dick around and waste your time and make the game last longer than it should.

This attitude drives me crazy! if you're confident in your skill level it makes sense to surrender a lost game. Value your time! If you win more than 50% of your games, refusing to surrender a sure-lost game is a foolish mistake! Granted a "lost game" is certainly a debatable concept, but I feel like a lot of the time one can predict the outcome of a game by about the 20 min mark anyways.

This really only applies if you don't enjoy losing games. If you enjoy losing games then... savour that extra 20 mins of losing you've earned by not surrendering at 20 mins, and being a-move stomped by turbo-fed enemies at 40.

i went vayne bot. last pick takes ap shaco (ignite flash). we're against cait janna. shaco takes jungle's red. he does nothing with it. he opened dorans ring. he's hitting my creeps so i can't last hit well. he trades harass a few times and is quickly less than 200 health and 0 mana. doesn't leave lane. just stands around putting useless boxes down every time mana allows. our jungle rammus never came bot despite lane almost always being pushed. nevertheless, mid and top still lost their lanes (akali vs jax top, brand vs heimer mid). im a brave heroic hero and so i slightly win this lane anyway (janna and shaco roamed, i killed cait 1v1, thx vayne). oh yeah, shaco didn't buy anything between doran's ring and NLR. he went back twice without buying anything at all. 1550 elo real hell

That sounds like half the Shacos I've run into, sadly.

1 person can dick around and build pylon hearts in the middle of the map for you too. Your point?
