Surrender Bugged
The vote was called for before 20 minutes, still passed without unanimous vote.

If it says it needs a unanimous vote, it should not pass on anything except that.

once the game time goes past 20 mins it switches from needing a unanimous vote to only 4 -1 vote regardless when the vote was started.
I think it's been changed recently to only require 4 votes. Apparently most failed surrender votes at 15 minutes will result in a successful surrender vote at 20 minutes.
Edit: Found what I was thinking of. I don't think it's been implemented yet, however.
Surrender Rules
Sometime soon (probably starting this week) we'll be testing a change to the early surrender rules that removes the unanimous vote requirement and instead goes with the normal 4 of 5 yes votes. That change will initially be only on the Oceanic server, if it tests well there we'll then roll it out to other regions as well.
We originally went with a unanimous requirement for early surrenders to ensure players weren't having games that looked winnable still surrendered out from under them that early. Looking at early surrender's use however games that fail a surrender 4-1 between 15-20 very often end up with a surrender or defeat around 20 minutes instead. That means the unanimous requirement is mainly just dragging out already lost games.

they've probably updated it so that if the surrender timer goes past 20 minutes, it counts as a 20 minute surrender.
the most annoying thing is when one idiot starts an ff vote at like 19:50 and another idiot wants to waste everyone's time and make us wait until 22:50
