Uhm, you never know what could happen. I've personally experienced major turn arounds.
The enemy team was winning, it was clear, they had way more kills, they took down way more turrets and then kabam! we picked ourselves up, grouped up, and won the game, and we got 50% more IP than a usual win because of the mega turn around.
Another game, we both got each other's inhibitors down, and they were owning us, their teamfights would own ours, but they made a rookie mistake and while they were killing the remains of our base and while we were all dead, suddenly, their nexus died and we were like.. what? Guess what... the MINIONS killed it! LOL!
I'm just saying, you're all in for "having fun" no? So why not lose with grace, and have fun while you're at it. You never know.

Thanks so much guys, I really appreciate the feedback.

I love that this thread generates so much controversy.

"no - never surrender ever ever ever, that is the real way to play and have fun."
"yes - there are always times to let things go and surrender, thats the real way to play and have fun."

Awesome

I wanna be clear, I don't care what you do, I know that my graceful surrender experiment is working well for me so far, and I'd love to hear RESULTS from y'all .

I personally don't get why people would want to drag out a losing game until the end. It's kind of rude to waste someone else's time, wouldn't you think? If it's clear that you're fighting a losing battle, just surrender.

Also, from my experience, turnarounds rarely (if ever) happen. It's not worth wasting another half hour in the hopes of one.

• admitting a superior opponent
• admitting that your teams skills and morale are NOT going to make massive quantum leaps in the next 15minutes
• admitting that you need more practice
• admitting that you dont WANT a victory where your opponent gets super sloppy and throws away a win they have in the bag.

Bump this thread

I enjoyed the read and overall agrees with the OP pov. However, I think pogo's interaction with op is more interesting than op.

when the author is challenged, he goes so defensive... This is constructive criticism lol. Stop being a baby and becoming so sensitive about it

Learn to accept different opinions... Just because he pointed something wrong in your thread does not mean he is your enemy. Kids...

Aside from that hilarious demonstration, gj overall.

Thanks for the bump, Incubes!

I totally appreciate it

And yes... you're totally right, in my 33+ years of life and positivity coaching "acceptance of others opinions" and "being defensive" are my biggest character flaws, lol!
If only I were better at those :P

<grin>

Keep rockin' dude.
