Dota 2 players have maintained a proud history of never surrendering - unless, of course, they're getting absolutely trounced and open mid. The popular MOBA game's rigorous comeback mechanics mean that pretty much any game is winnable, no matter how doomed the position. However, developer Valve is now implementing an in-game forfeit mechanic, but only for five-stacks who really just want to go next.
As part of the latest matchmaking update, full parties can now all chat 'gg' to surrender a game. The mechanic can only be activated after the 30 minute mark, and when the surrender is called the same ten second countdown and cancel UI seen in pro games will pop up. Should the surrender go through, the game will naturally be scored as a loss.
But this isn't the only change being made for full parties, which will now no longer be restrained to matching against other five-stacks in ranked. Valve has subsequently tweaked its matchmaking system "to make finding a game as a full party faster".
