—here’s why it’s a good idea》

部分內文節錄/翻譯:
A 15-minute surrender option is being tested for League of Legends, Riot
announced last week. And it's about damn time.
Riot originally planned to have the feature in the game by now, according to
Andre ‘Meddler’ van Roon, League’s lead gameplay designer. He mentioned
that it would have been tested and implemented already if not for
high-priority projects like the new client and matchmaking changes getting in
the way.
R社上週宣布，15分的投降投票 (簡稱:15FF) 進入測試。
Meddler表示，若非幾個優先計畫(新介面、新配隊系統)的緣故
15FF，現在已經正式測試或上線了。
In a post on Nexus, League’s editorial website, Meddler gave a few details
on the upcoming potential feature. At first, it will only be available in one
region, although we aren’t sure which region will be selected. It will also
function differently from the usual surrender—it will be a unanimous vote,
meaning that all teammates would have to agree for it to actually go through.
Will this replace the current 20-minute surrender altogether, or will it just
be an addition? There aren’t enough details to tell right now, but either
way, it would be a change for the better.
目前只會在單一區域伺服器開啟測試，尚未決定哪一區。
15FF 和目前使用的投降系統 (簡稱:20FF) 不同，
15FF 的機制是無異議投票。
就是說，必須全員都投降才能夠通過。
至於 15FF 是否會取代 20FF，亦或是新增的選項，目前沒有進一步說明足夠的細節。
Why? Well, the traditional 20-minute surrender has been around since the
beginning of the game, and frankly, it’s outdated. Over the years, the
average length of games has shortened considerably, and it gets even shorter
depending on what rank you are.
20FF的系統在這遊戲開天闢地創世之初就出現，老實講，早就過時了。
經過了數年，遊戲時間的平均長度已經縮短，甚至不同牌位的遊戲時間會更短。
More than 42 percent of all solo queue players are in Bronze, and over 36
percent are in Silver, according to League of Graphs, a League statistics
website. That means almost 80 percent of all solo queue players in League are
in either Bronze or Silver. Want to know the average length of game time
amongst those players? About thirty minutes. Higher ranked games are even
shorter.
根據 League of Graphs (LOL 的數據網站)
打solo Q的玩家，超過 42% 的玩家位居銅牌，36% 以上的玩家是銀牌
就是說有將近 80% 的玩家，在銅銀區定居。
而這區間的遊戲時間平均長度是多少呢? 大約 30 分鐘
牌位更高的遊戲時間甚至更短。
That’s right, most games in League only make it about ten minutes past when
players are allowed to surrender, meaning most games are close to ending the
normal way right around the same time that they're even given the chance to
give up early. Now, I’m a firm believer in the “Never give up! Never
surrender!” policy when it comes to ranked. However, sometimes it’s a
better choice to type in the ol’ “/ff.”
沒有錯啦~
大部分的遊戲，在可以開始投降之後 10 分鐘就結束了
就是說大部分的遊戲，在能開始投降的時候幾乎都已接近定局。
If someone was toxic and ended up rage-quitting because they weren’t able to
steal the jungler’s Krugs while the jungler was trying to take it, for
example, your team is now down a man because that player took it very
personally (this surely has never happened to me). Or maybe, just maybe, you
are down six towers, an inhib, two dragons, and twenty kills when the clock
strikes fifteen minutes. It’s also possible that your top laner went Teemo.
All I’m saying is sometimes things are looking just bleak enough to make the
strongest-willed player want to throw in the towel.
如果某個玩家由於偷不到打野的野怪，就開始嘴砲，甚至掛網；導致你的隊伍缺少一個人
或者，你的隊伍在15分時已經掉了六座塔、一座兵營、兩條龍和二十個頭;
然後，你的上路是提摩。
老實說，在這種情況，心態再強悍的玩家都會想放棄。
Adding a 15-minute unanimous surrender option gives a team the possibility of
finishing up and starting a new game before the slug-fest goes on long enough
to crush their spirit completely. A 20-minute surrender is the only option—
even when ranked games now rarely go past 30 minutes. It’s ludicrous, and
adding a bit of flexibility here is the right way to go.
15FF 的無異議投票(全數通過投票)，讓某些隊伍在被痛打、屌虐到心靈崩潰之前；
有機會來結束這場、開始新的遊戲。
當今大部分 RK 遊戲，很少超過 30 分鐘時，20FF 還是唯一的選項顯得格外荒謬。
15FF 為遊戲增加一點靈活性，是正確的方向。
