Last Updated: October 7, 2022

'League of Legends' is one of the few MOBA's (Massive Online Battle Arena) to feature a surrender option. If you think there's no way you can win the game anymore, read on to find out how to surrender.

Steps

1
Check the game timer. In order to initiate a surrender vote, the timer must reach 15 minutes.
- If a teammate leaves your game early, you may start the surrender at 10 minutes.
2
Start a surrender vote. Use the /surrender command or click on the surrender button in the menu.

Wait for your team to vote. All five team members must vote yes in order to surrender, but starting at 20 minutes only four of the five players have to vote yes. If a summoner does not vote, he is taken to be against the motion. If a vote to surrender fails on Summoner's Rift, a surrender vote cannot be initiated again for 3 minutes.

A surrender will fail with one person voting to surrender, and four voting not to. It's the same with a 2:3 split. If four or five people vote to surrender, your team will surrender.
