@Riot 2 easy solutions to fix your game

Match players based on division +/- 1. Not MMR.*
Decrease surrender time to 15 minutes.**

*Matching players based on MMR usually isn't fair. Yes, both teams have the same total MMR. But here is a common scenario to explain why this isn't fair. So you got 2 teams each with 100 MMR total. Team A Team B Top 20 Top 20 Mid 15 Mid 25 Jun 20 Jun 20 Bot 20 Bot 20 Sup 25 Sup 15

Team B will most likely win. Their mid laner is going to stomp Team A mid and then snowball other lanes.

** Riot has taken several steps this season to make games shorter. Lane phase used to last ~20 minutes now it lasts 10 if that. So if the game is shorter, why has the surrender time remained the same?

Because there are more shitty players. Get rid of the surrender option altogether and those shitty players won't have a crutch and will either get better or stop playing which is better in the long run anyway. That is what RIOT can do to fix things otherwise most of the fault lies in shitty players who can't or won't improve their play.

Is it the gold 3's fault that he got matched against a plat 2? Of course he's going to lose that matchup. It's not because he's a shitty player. He's simply outmatched.

What does rank really mean with all the boosting that goes on in this game? I always have been totally against the surrender button for the reason that I stated. I am sure it is used properly at high levels but low levels use it as a crutch. Nothing more and nothing less. Players that use that button for the wrong reasons will never improve.
