No to Fly at Na'Vi.

A 5/5 vote is the only thing that ever has a chance to be implemented.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwClR8Uv4GQ proves you wrong Gies.
Pub games aren't the same as competitive and you can pull off some ridiculous comebacks.
It's been like three years, it's never coming.

Isnt Navi like one of the best organizations anyway? I dont think hed leave a place like that for a shitty CIS org
As games get more and more popular, more and more casual/popular ideas get implemented.
Not to say that /ff will ever be in Dota (nor that I want it), but as the game grows the option actually gets more likely.

Arthur Gies really needs to stop writing.
I don't think anything of that kind is ever going to get implemented, but 5/5 would be the only one I'd be semi okay with. Even then though you'd get situations in which 4/5 give up on the game and try to make the game as unplayable as they can for the 5th until he also gives up.
I'm already tired enough of people giving up on a game when they can't lane where they want/can't play the hero they want/someone gives up first blood. The 1 out of a thousand games in which a team keeps fountain farming for way too long aren't enough of an argument to implement this.
Gies please

Yeah my experience this weekend of all but 1 of my games ending with my team sitting in the fountain for 15 minutes while we waited for the other team to end it sure says there's no reason for DotA to have a surrender option.
Oh fucking gies again..such a tool. Also not going to happen.
It will now, someone will post it there and its going to get like #6 on the sub's front page!
People that cry for a surrender option are fucking retarded
There IS A SURRENDER OPTION IN GAME
Its called abandoning and going to LPQ
The game tries to make you stay and finish games, but if you dont want to thats your own priority
He was there and his twitter..well let the casters and panel do there job because the stuff he was saying there...my god.
Well basically this..
He mentions the LGD DK game in the article. I'm no Gies defender and I don't think a surrender option is right for Dota but I do not think you have to be a crazy idiot to consider that a surrender option might be a positive thing.

15 Minutes huh? Link em. Also you can alt-tab and move your character every minute or so, or if you can't take that just abandon. The cons outweigh the pros by far.
Too busy calling QoP of Pain a sexist design
I was actually referring to the number of surrenders before a rax was even down. Ruined a lot of the event, imo

it exists at the level it needs to, the pros know when its over
the morons that mostly fill this game have no fucking clue so dont give them that tool ever please

Awful logic. Either your pro or a moron.
Might be some at certain levels when they know its over.
Well he watched enough of it to freak over over Qops costume design ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Could have it at 30 minutes instead of 20. Most games are decided by then, for those that want to carry on they would.
Edit: I won't post any more on this, we've had this discussions so many times.
Right. But I think the argument from most of the community is that those GGs are fine because they are pros and know when a game is unwinnable. I think the argument against the GG isn't that GGs make for boring short games, it's that it removes the possibility for heroic comebacks like LGD DK.
I am in agreement here and I think a GG option isn't right for pub dota, but I think this is hardly evident to the people starting out in the game who are getting fountain camped for 20 minutes. I am just reacting to people who are totally incredulous even at the mere mention of a surrender option. I know the argument is stale in the dota 2 online communities but I doubt most of the people who play dota have had a ton of exposure to it.
Aye.

shadow shaman buttmad for some reason, decides to buy wards all game and put them in his stash. we had no vision the entire game. and then people pretend the report system isn't actually a joke
these people shouldn't be allowed to queue for a game. jesus fucking christ
edit: people shouldn't be forced to waste their time on a game they don't want to play. and the pros judge games based on how they would play, not the way 2k mmr players you're playing with are gonna do things. anyone who is against concede doesn't value their time. probably 13 year olds

I agree. At the very least, players should be given the OPTION to search for games that have a surrender function.

I actually agree with Gabe's / the team's decision on no surrender, now, finally. After 3 years. I did not at first. But its intent is correct.

NEWWWWWWWWWWWWPPPP. Just as an example, I had a game last night where we were down all raxes AND one of our towers on the ancient and the other team was only down their mid raxes. And they were strong, very strong. Now any rational person says game over and waves the white flag but instead we fought them off three times in a row barely surviving, barely killing the megacreeps. Then the third time they came calling we teamwiped them and pushed down middle and won the game fighting them off while we were on destroying the ancient at the same time. That shit just doesn't happen in League that I've seen.

There are indeed some games which are absolute STOMPS and in those games you kinda want the ability to end the game. But I agree, a consistent lead doesn't necessarily last. Even an underfarmed team can manage a comeback if they play well and that usually happens the most in high-ground defenses.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Can't you force Void while he's in Chrono too? It's really confusing
hmm this has me a bit confused, why would I be shocked or surprised at something unrelated to the actual players and why would something like that be bigger than the player shuffle?
icefrog is actually dead ?
