Valorantsucks ofc it affects rank... surrender = admitting defeat why wouldnt it make you lose rank... if you surrender ever any win rounds decrease your sr drop and surrending ensures a big drop if you did it at round 5 for example you win 0 rounds and make it 13-0 or 13-5
the only major issue with surrender at the moment is the idiotic auto surrender when your team is useless if you have 4 moronic trolls in a winning game the auto surrender kicks in if one team mate is throwing on their behalf and then the 4 trolls click yes and you click no... gg you just lost 13-5 enjoy the massive sr drop...
riot are such twats LOL
