Surrender button in dota 2

Surrender button in dota 2

So I know the community is wildy against a gg wp button.
But why? I have been in to many games were I knew I was gonna lose and the other just stomps you, and the other team just doesnt finish the game.

So much time wasted in a match that you couldn’t win and made me rage quit. I would really like a vote to surrender button, just to make the game a little more enjoyable, probably a lot less people abandoning as well.

Even if it required everyone to agree to it for it to pass it would lead to more people giving up early and not trying. In Dota comebacks are possible from even extreme disadvantages so people going ”gg which should just surrender” really hurts the game as comebacks are very possible and one of the more fun aspects of the game.

Also there is satisfaction in breaking the enemy base and winning the teamfight that wins the game fo your team but if people are gg’ing too soon you lose out on that too.

I used to play smite a fair bit and saw both of those things often and it was a real negative in it so I would hate to see it in Dota. Surrender button in dota 2

Many pro teams won macthes from same scenerios and they explained many times why dota shouldnt have this give up button.

Could always just disconnect, it legit helps your team more than just not trying.

This 1000000 times. Don’t spam GGwP at 11 minutes into the game after a few poor choices. Just leave if you really want to give up and give the team a chance.

Other team has T3 towers up and megas, we came back and won, I was Lone Druid. After being on both sides of comebacks, I say “No Disconnect button”.

Funny part here is, that pros are the only ones who have the option in their tournaments.
The surrender button is only needed in situations when the superior team is refusing to take the ancients and end the game in time. As long as Dota2 allows for these dishonorable situations the demand for the surrender option will persist.

thats wrong you are allowed to give up in lobbys and battle cub just like the pros the pros also cant surrender in a normal match

and ppl will always demand staff and complain about things but does not mean what they want is a good thing since most of them cant see the whole pic of what they reqoust

You can’t prevent people from throwing a hopeless game (in their eyes) in not offering the option. They just go afk or ward their fountain or something. Why don’t give a team the chance to shorten up a game they think they cannot win anymore. I’ve seen it in high ranked games “we are afk, please end”. Why not have an official solution for that? I would give it a try.

the problem is theres more that will do that

a player who go afk because of losing game might return when they see their team winning i saw that a lot

but if theres a surrender button ppl will ask to surrender as soon as they see the losing sight and if their team refuse they will start feeding so their team mates surrender

i rarly see ppl feed now (not saying it does not happen) and can sometimes save the day and stop the player from feeding but if theres a surrender button then good luck finding a proper match with out one of the players start feeding for a surrender in mid game

Heroes of Newerth actually has this function and from what i recall it was never abused, it was only used when there was noway for a comback and i think there was a timer on when it could be used and it required a vote of the conceding team of 3/5 or 4/5 i think to pass the concede/surrender. And the pros for this is are games with a feeder in team, the enemy team won’t finish the game when they’ve practicly won already. The con is that if there’s a party that easily can get the majority of the vote when it’s not necessary.

Yes there’s are opportunities for comback but when there isn’t way drag it out? Just waste of time. And what i’ve seen in games is that for the argument that ppl will use such a feature as soon there’s sight of losing that happens already that ppl just stay in base spamming “FF” and with a democratic vote the risks for this is lower if not as i mentioned there’s a party in the team.

I find it funny that people are saying “comebacks are real.”

Yeah, they’re real, if all five players are playing their hardest until their throne. You people don’t account for 90% of matches where players give up prematurely.

What’s good rigged matchmaking? My life is ruined.
