They have either their tower or both towers well defended you can't destroy them.
    This was my 9 minute disaster. They had stacked healers on top and bottom. It was ridiculous. however with good communications, comebacks even with healer stacking, is possible. I've seen it more than once. It just wasn't happening that game..... *shrugs* oh well.

    I would say no to a vote surrender option. As it is I believe people give up far too quickly and even if there's no way to reverse it(which is almost never the case anyway), a loss can be a learning opportunity.

    I've seen a couple 8-9 minute stompings, which do suck. However in most of them at least one person, if not multiple, loudly complained we lost two minutes in because we didn't get the middle. This has a huge psychological effect, if someone says its hopeless then it automatically gives the rest of the team an excuse to not try as hard. It's not over until its over.

    I've also seen huge comebacks because the group hadn't given up and used the options they had to the best of their ability. Mammets can do a lot of damage to towers and give some CE, which can get you a mech for a bigger comeback. Or someone could be very good at using the BJ, and so on. And even if a comeback isn't possible, you can use the time to practice or try something new and different.

    The fact that one particular role can effectively block progress on main objectives in a match really highlights a problem that needs addressing, and I hope that's what 4.18 is all about.
