eSVau double standards / abuse of league admin power

Look at the law for example - do you think you could kill someone without being punished if he provoked you? Do you think you would get less punishment (jail/money) for doing something against the law if you said that you "were being provoked"?

There are extenuating circumstances ("mildernde umstände") in law and forms of provocation are in fact part of these. So yes, you will get less of a punishment if you can prove that you were being provoked.


Also the analogy to football is terrible as it is a time-based game. You can see that in professional (and non-professional) league of legends it does happen that teams surrender before the nexus is destroyed, when they think they don't have a chance any more (their surrender vote is similar to the BT one). In professional (and also non-professional) Starcraft it is common practice to leave the game before every building is destroyed.

In sports like cycling, running, or cross-country skiing it is common not to finish a race when you are too far behind, so you save stamina for the next races.

There are probably more examples of forfeiting in sports and competitive gaming.
