We need a surrender button for comp games.
Sometimes the outcome is completely clear and we don’t need to waste time.

there is way enough giving up mentality already, no need to emphasize that

I’d say the point you loaded up a video game was when you should have stopped if you don’t want to waste time.
The sheer lack of accurate assessment most people have makes me immediately rebel against giving people the power to shutdown a game or even let them think about doing it.
If they have the option, they’ll abuse it or use it when even mildly inclined to expect a loss.
If people weren’t people.. then sure. But I don’t think that’d work well.

you play for fun so try to have fun
Absolutely don’t. If you play Marvel Rivals you know how brainless teammates use it

Lol of course its a widow main
I feel like it’d just be abused, or too many people would be too quick to use it.
Yeah, I’ve seen many matches end in steamrolls where it seems like this would have been a good idea, but I’ve also seen a lot of matches that seem to be lost causes but are turned around late into the game when the pressure is turned up.
If we give more ways for people to give up we’d see less effort to make those turnarounds.

I agree that not all hard games should be surrendered right away, but sometimes push has ended in 2 mins and the enemy team has 20 kills while we have 2. These games are just not fun for anyone.
Well… It’s not fun to play spawn simulator, really.
ad hominem 
I think it MIGHT work if there’s some sort of trigger for it like your team has not touched the bot in 3 minutes or the elims/damage are more than a certain amount of disparity. But that would have to be hidden. If people knew conditions they’d try to duplicate them as soon as they thought they were losing.

The issue on that is the current matchmaking is awful, just because the system is mixing new and veteran players. The quality of the matches are not good enough to have fun when many times a match is just another stomp

as a league player, ive had my fair share of winnable games FF’d and i rarely ever vote yes to FF
HOWEVER…
there certainly are those games where i will be the one to initiate the FF. there are those games that you just see the writing on the wall. you have 2 projectile dps players vs 3 hitscan enemies, youre getting steamrolled and theres no way to swap roles so you kinda just have to take the L. yeah, i can see the FF being really helpful there.
id expect an ff system to only come online in the second round setup phase, where it must be uninamious then lets say 3 minutes later you can do a 4-1 majority FF vote.

Best part of surrender button in other games is if the team votes AGAINST giving up, the player(s) who initiated the vote will proceed to throw like 90% of the time to purposely lose the match.
what games are you playing?? sure if someone throws up a surrender vote theyre tilted but usually doesnt mean full int

No, you’re already banning heroes you’re too lazy to want to fight, you’re already able to vote out maps you’re too lazy to want to play, now you want a button to just end the match when you’re too lazy to try counter and actually fight all that will happen is you all die on first team fight and give up

How about less defeatist mentalities instead?

The problem with this feature is that it’s easily exploited by people who don’t necessarily have a great game sense or patience. Many games have been turned around when there was nothing but defeat on the horizon.

Someone proposed to report the matchmaker in these cases. I think that’s a good idea, maybe better.
yes but acually no
Yes - some fights are lost from the start - enemy team got smurfs and t500 and theres you and your team. it’s 3-5min match max.
No - some fights are meant to be lost but with grouping up, fight in good spots you can hold enemys till the end and win.
Got a match yesterday where they just walk in, take point, push to 2nd check point almoust got win but tank ulted,get nano and push them back. Payload was 0.01m from reaching the point. The Timer was almoust 6min.
If we surranded we defo would lost but we did are best and menage to win!
Enemy team had usles mercy (whats more miserable is it was a smurf).
Surrender? Never!
What matters is that we fight. To the very last second.
Agony is grape-flavored!

It’s funny because I agree with you but for different reasons. My experience is that introducing a concede option in OW is pointless because brainless teammates in Rivals don’t use it. I’ve only ever seen a concede vote succeed a handful of times.
The vast majority of the time, there’s going to be at least one troll or delusional/oblivious player, which means the vote’s going to fail.
Sounds clever until its not anymore. “Waste time” is meaning “ok, they spawn camp us… just… 6 more minutes until its over, so lets wait for so long until we finally lost”. You only waste time in life, if you do something that is not enjoyable for you. If you have fun and a good time in a game, its not wasted time. Its time well spend I would say.
You will lose a game regardless if 4 of 5 people agree to surrender. As long as its all besides maybe one (troll) that say “ok, its a waste of time, lets go next” would be a decent idea.
This. I want an “all besides one” vote, because if everyone besides ONE person wants to go, then just let them.
