I'm also generally against surrendering.

If you don't need the IP from a longer game, then you're either playing to win (which to some extent we all do I guess, but in the end we have to remember that only one team can win, and that one team can't always be ours) or to get better, in which case you can probably learn more from trying to get back into the game than giving up.

This won't be the last time you have to deal with snowballers instead of being the one snowballing.

Also the later the game gets, the more time you have to even out the gold difference (if you're playing safe obviously) and the more time you will have to push through that lane if you score an ace from that overextending impatient enemy team :P
