Has valve lost its marbles?

Games should be played out to its entirety and as you improve, you see less pub stomps and fountain diving. When I have a good game with a good team and people rage quit in 15 minutes when all their tier 1's still up, it pisses me off because when you are playing well, you don't want the other team to call it off early, at least put up a fight. And this is with someone willingly abandoning the game, adding a concede option only encourages this behavior and make people more calculative as to when they should concede to save time rather than duking it out till the end.

There are pros and cons to each but the current situation is much better than the proposed and I believe we should keep it as such.

I really like the no concede rule. Feeders will feed. Badies will be bad. and Noobs will be Noobs.

This is what this game is about . . . This . Is . Dota2.

Understandable but I played a game the other day where 20 minutes in, they team wiped us, then, without taking a rax, proceeded to fountain camp us for 20 minutes. I get that playing until the end is fun and in a close game it is, but when people want to troll like that it's boring as hell.

No matter how far you're behind, it is absurdly simple to kill the enemy team if they're camping you without any creeps in the base. After you kill them, smoke + TP and hide and game will soon be over.

Mh, i've recently played a game where we were obv loosing, score was around 38-15, at around 25 minutes of the game, most of their players were farmed/fed. we still have won, 45 more minutes later. as most people stated it here, comebacks are ALWAYS possible.

Play Dark Seer with Aghanim's Scepter. Then, EVERY match is a comeback victory or a stomp.

Seriously though, even though I too have gone through multiple agonizing 50-minute games where defeat was obvious since minute 10, the few games that ended in a comeback victory had me standing up, arms outstreched, yelling "YES!". No other game has made me feel like this, so isn't it a shame to deny players these kind of moments?

^^^so true

Final score on a game last night was 55 - 4. The team spent the final 20 mins diving the fountain.

This really needs to be fixed.

Every person who is opposed to concede in pub games, must obviously be particularly furious that it is allowed in team match making.......
