If all connected members press yes why can't we FF before 20?

Pretty annoying to have to get stomped for 20 minutes in a 5v4 where everyone lose anyways.

So many teams choose not to end and choose to BM and there's nothing we can do about it.

You can still win a 4 v 5 if you play smart.

In Bronze/Silver Elo? Yes. Against even slightly competent players? Extremely unlikely, unless they get super cocky and feed someone while not using their superior numbers to take objectives all over the place.

You understand that Bronze is 50% of the player base, right? Silver is the next 25%, so this covers 75% of the player base.

Sure, but it still means that 25% of the player base has to deal with needlessly long games. That's a significant portion of the player base. Thanks for proving my point.

So you want the 25% to rule over the 75%? That's not how it works.

But where's the disadvantage here? I mean, sure, you can win 4v5s more often in low Elo, but does that mean it'll happen often? No. All that's happening on average is that you're wasting time that could have been spent in a new game that you're more likely to win.

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in surrendering a game where it's like 15-8 or something, but if it's 20-3 and the enemy has 3 dragons to your 0, then chances are you're not winning that game. Similarly, if someone has been DC'd for 15 minutes, chances are he's not going to catch up on 15 minutes worth of farm and experience.

I really don't see the harm in lowering the surrender timer to 15 minutes.
