I'm genuinely curious what everyone's experience with surrending is.

Here's my own recent experience:

So I'm bronze III, hardstuck (ik, flame me all you want). Last game I played, I was playing as support Leona for a Jhin. The lane was going pretty well, Jhin ahead in CS by 20 (this is pretty normal in Bronze), and I manage to keep him topped up in health by zoning the enemy away. Then, for a moment, our "ward" or "scuttle" in the river expires and I go to put a replacement (because we were pretty pushed up and enemy jungler on botside too). All of a sudden, my ADC spam pings me to back off as soon as I leave lane to ward. He types, "shouldn't have left me in lane alone." Then right away, he starts an FF vote at literally 15. Obviously, 4 people say no as we were ahead. Then he ups and just quits the game altogether. Somehow, our Vladamir manages to carry us in a literally very close game, but it was ridiculous.

I dropped a deep ward at level 1 on the enemy buff and backed to switch to sweeper. My mid pinged sweeper and asked me what I was doing. I pointed out zombie ward and that I was support.

He said ff15 and ragequit. So my team had to ff because it was a 4v5.

If I am not mistaken, and if the "feature" is still available for abuse, one can drop a ward early, then go back for the Sweeper only to switch back to wards again in order to mingle with the cooldown of the waeding trinket and get more wards out of it. I know that some junglers used to do it since they usually back quite often so this is a viable strat for them.

Anyways, that is quite ridiculous. Imagine tilting oneself so hard off a rune/trinket choice to quit the game and risk account suspension, as well as runing the game for nine other people.

On a side note, given the Riot badge you have here, did you uabe the authority to immediatelly issue a punishment for the leaver? Or are the AFK punishments automated by now?

We have no power to ban anyone. I just did a report at the end game screen.
