Done with the game thanks to the "Surrender" option

[ChaosKhan]

I decided to give Smite a go after playing Heroes of the Storm for years, but the "Surrender" option simply makes the game unplayable.

Here a detailed description on why it completely and utterly ruins the fun:

Literally every second match, on some evenings even every match, someone on the team starts to propose surrender after 5-10 mins.
If you don't agree with it for some reason, the one who started it becomes toxic in the chat and/or starts running and jumping around afk, trying to "convince" the team to surrender after all. Why? Because he knows exactly, that he will get what he wants with it after a while.
At some point, the "convincing" is successful, because the surrender option is a "legal and easy way out" of the situation and after 10 minutes, the game is done.

I've played my fair shair of Heroes of the Storm, but I really thank God (and Blizzard), that they never implemented this feature. Why? Because it cultivates completely intolerable behaviour patterns. Why is giving up and throwing a MULTIPLAYER game suddenly legal and not getting punished at all? Why are those toxic people still running around and not have been banned?

I've read a couple threads on the matter and the usual justification for the surrender option is, that people get apparently trolled by teams that refuse to end the game and farm the players on the fountain.
Interestingly, this didn't happen to me even once, after close to a hundred games at this point. Why? Because games that go somewhat badly simply get surrendered after 10 minutes. Again, again and again. To be honest, I'd rather be farmed every 10 games or so, instead of being trolled by defeatists every 2nd game.
Is this really the intended result?
Just because a vocal minority got trolled sometimes, the devs implemented a feature, that completely butchers the fun of a silent majority. This is ridiculous. I went out of my way to write here about it. I bet most players would simply silently denstall and not even mention it.

And yeah, on that note, grouping up doesn't help much. Sure, your team technically stops surrendering because you simply don't agree to it, but it doesn't stop the ones who DEMAND surrender to start trolling and afking. Even if you have 1 or 2 friends playing with you, you will get trolled by those pea brained surrender freaks at least every third game. It's very tilting, not fun at all and I don't see why I can't even "mute" this option for me. At this point, thanks to the surrender option, I want to silence the chat and to silence the surrender option, basically not even wanting to communicate with my team, because it usually ends up being toxic and tilting. And what is the communication about mostly? You guessed it right. 80 % of the communication is about surrendering (since in games that you win, hardly any "communication" happens either way). Nice!
Is this also the intended result?
That players, instead of communicating on how to actually win, try to troll and flame the others into surrendering asap?

Cheers.
