I’m sure this has been suggested before… but please please this game sorely needs a surrender function… All too often I’m in game with a bot because of a leaver or really really bad players who are clearly feeding on purpose.
This thread is number 331 and again I don’t want it, not everyone comes from France

No.
Surrender button breeds more toxic behavior.

Now here me out, what if the next nexus anomaly was a surrender option?
We don’t have to permanently keep it that’s the whole point of anomaly right?
what if we gave it a shot for about a month and if people really want to get rid of it, then they can just remove it?
So i ask the community is it ok if we “try” a surrender option

They wouldn’t want to get rid of it because people especially in bronze and silver often consist of the type of people who want to give up instead of fighting when 2 levels behind.
Do you ever wonder why no streamer or serious player has ever suggested this? Because suggesting surrender shows a lack of understanding of how HotS works.
Most people wouldn’t be surrendering because they had an afk or they were 6 levels behind.
They would surrender because they think “Kael is op, might as well go afk” or “ok, we lost 3 tributes, no point playing now”. It would just give those players a way to go afk without penalty.
Low skilled players would come up with all sorts of absurd ideas why the game is lost at 5 minutes and call for surrender votes.

I love it!
We can finally kill off this game and make legit “HOTS is dead” threads!

i want a permenant leaver status because the people who end up on leaver status actually tries to win and puts effort into their game.

The game needs loss forgiveness and a harsher punishement for multiple and intentionnal leavers
Surrender could be a thing but i think it would make the situation worse and would help the leaving trash more than people who want to play.

Do you guys even read the threads anymore before barfing out responses?
No one’s talking about down 2 level and surrendering. Or bad comps and surrendering. Stop with the exaggerated cherry picked counter arguments.
Hes talking about being stuck with a bot. Again, not being down 2 level but being stuck with bots. Not being down 1 level, ok, but having a bot.on.your.team.
I remember in old times playing rts when someone dropping in a 3v3 was just gg remake. This was especially true if the dropper left at the beginning. Ya remake it cause theres no point and its the decent thing.
Nowadays, kids get off thinking they’re making a difference in the world by sticking it out. Johnny is dodging sniper fire in some mud hole while they are sticking it out with an aba bot in an air conditioned guest house for 650 per month.

That’s not cherry picked. If you played thousands of HotS matches you’d know those are reasons why some people are willing to give up a match.
Some people can even go afk and give up because they think the comp your team picked is “unwinnable with” because of some strange logic in their head. Before the gates have even opened.
The average player is clueless. There is no point giving in to their “surrender option” demands.
Or my favorite: “We have player X from last match. He didn’t take a camp when I asked him to. I don’t want to play with him.” That type of player will vote for a surrender 100%.

Its funny my words you quoted are a perfect response to your response.
We talking about bots here man. Not everything else other than bots.
It has been suggested since ALPHA.
Blizzard officially responded too. They said that the games is already short enough, and denying the enemy team a fulfillment of winning is unnecessary and toxic.
Basically, not wanting to be steamrolled when you have 2 AI players on your team - is too toxic. The enemy team deserves the cathartic experience of crushing you.

I really bored with this topic. Blizzard have said they will NOT do a surrender option. So no matter what camp you belong in, it’s not going to happen, so please stop making topics about it.

And it is toxic to me that people give up when i am crushing their head underfoot until it is over.
The solution still is making people not leave.
Not allow people to leave freely because the other guys will just surrender and brush it off.
There should be an automatic script intercepting all these surrender threads, some of us have played LoL for a while and know that it’s surrender system is garbage. From surrendering games for no reason to surrendering due to a player being toxic etc.
If i recall correctly, i played with my cousin and his friend often and they wanted to surrender REALLY often, the moment it went sideways, sometimes that friend of his refused to surrender, and sometimes i didn’t. They gave up immediately…

Yeah, it’s really getting annoying, and people think it’s some kind of a “new and smart idea”. Ugh.
LoL can’t get rid of it because they waited to long, it would cause too big of a backlash. And their games usually last longer than HoTs ones do, don’t think it would work 9 years after the game’s release.
