Would you like see a surrender button in BGs?

[Elpalmo]

I see alot of people in BGs saying "just let them win"
Now just like League of legends i was thinking it would be pretty good if there was a surrender button.

But if blizzard would make it.. they would have to make it fair.. for example.. maybe make it so 70-80% must click yes before you surrender?

What do you guys think?

[xindralol]

in a tournament game I would expect that, but this is a mmo so ... no

[Dexiefy]

stupid idea to say the least. Alliance usually just gives up by playing shitty. Now with such feature they would all just hit surrended button to get some honor scraps and go to another bg since allies got instant queues

[Harsesis]

I could see it being useful in RBGs but not in regular BGs. Horde would have something happen like say lose the Farm and someone would begin surrendering.

I see no reason to implement this button. It would only bring more negativity to the BG's.

I have played as both factions, both are equally as bad.

I win some days, I have losses on others, no matter what faction I happen to be playing.

[darkwarrior42]

I say yes, but only if it comes with a penalty to honor earned at the end of the match (at least 50%, though I wouldn't argue with as much as 100%).

[Improvedlol]

Let's make surrender premade guys, anyone?

Nope, even in rbg if you are losing, just tell your team to leave the bg, there's no penality for that so no point to add this.

[palladish]

I say yes but with very strict rules like, 80% need to vote it, and before you can vote 50% of the game time must be up as well as in order to vote the other team needs to be quite ahead anyway e.g 2/3 flag caps or bases etc

What about comebacks?

This whole idea about having a surrender would just cause more trouble than good.
If I don't want to surrender, why should I be forced to loose beacause of other players, I have won matches being down by two flag caps.

Unfortunately this idea flops, I would hope to never see it in a live server.

Maybe a 'lost cause' button that prevents new players from joining. It's always annoying when you join a bg only to have the enemy cap the last flag during the loading screen.

While I agree with you to a certain extent. This would result in chaos since Alliance usually loses.
For this to actually work, the win/loss ratio has to be closer to 50/50.

Even if games were a 50/50 chance of winning, this idea would not work well at all, it still has flaws.

[Magesirius]

No way, I've been in Warsong Gulch and the enemy captures the 1st flag and watched chat light up like a Xmas tree with Fail, idiots, that's it i'm not healing, its over, let em cap and lets get out of here. Now I would go for it if it was a vote of who wanted to stay those who wanted to leave could with no deserter penalty or say 5 minutes that would be fine.

win/loss IS close to 50/50.

EDIT**
just some results i got from working out how many times i win in a BG on my shaman.

Overall - 50.69124%
AV - 69%
AB - 53%
BfG - 44%
EotS - 66%
SotA - 42%
TP - 64%
WSG - 61%
Isle - 50%

granted, my AV winrate seems a bit OTT, but that's because i usually queue with 5-man groups, we can win the game ourselves.

On topic, no i think this would be a terrible idea, people would DEFINITELY be QQing 2 minutes in because "farm was lost" or the opposition got a lucky cap in.
And it would be too easily abused.

Bear in mind there IS a surrender button already in the game which, outside of RBGs, does leave you with a honor penalty.
Just leave the group, there's no reason to justify making someone else's mind up for them.

Never give up, Never surrender, fight till the last man is left standing, if the enemy isn't dead, the fight is uselles.

[Vaelkyri]

NO, too many people give up at 1 cap already.

[blackone]

No, it would be horrible. In rated's, you can just leave. And in regular BG's, people would start yelling at each other to surrender after like 30 seconds. If you want to see how that looks, play HoN.

[Anthraxxxis]

The problem lies in the fact that "just let them win!" only happens when one side has a bunch of BOT's AFK's and HK Whores. Those people do not care about strategy, or winning. They would not make your idea viable.
