I don't normally surrender, but I will if I feel I've done horribly and the game is just too painful to carry on with.

Most of the times however, it will come early game after someone has died a few times to the same person. Most of the time at least two people (me being one of them) will say no, because we are doing well. This is my justification along with the fact that there can always be an epic turnaround incoming. But it doesn't help when the fed enemy champion starts focussing me (I mainly play Lux, who is squishy) and I start dying to a Gragas that can deal over 1000 damage in under a second. #datburst

So really, surrendering in my opinion is a bad idea based on the wasted ip/xp and how if a team works together, just about anything is possible.
