I never start a surrender vote or vote yes to a surrender unless:

1) My entire team is feeding/negative by 3 or 4 deaths

2) We get perfect engages for teamfights and are focusing but still lose the fight

3) They are at our nexus and we are about to lose anyway.

I have won games in which my team had voted for surrender but we turned it around in the end, games that most people would say are un-winnable. Just a couple days ago I played a 3v3 where we fed the enemy Lee Sin a first blood/double kill, and we turned it around to win after a good 50 minutes. A game where our Evelynn and Olaf fed their Fizz 5 kills, Singed was down 0/3 to a Mundo/Teemo double top, and I (as Ezreal) was the only one with kills (2/0/1) with Thresh supporting me. We came back to win with a few good counterplays, Evelynn finishing 17/4 and me 17/1/24.

Case and point: Surrender is overrated.
