If Riot wants shorter and more snowballing matches then make the surrender vote possible sooner

I'm not sure if it's the same at all levels of play, but at gold 2/3 every match is pretty much decided by 12 minutes in, and the first team to get a 2 turret lead wins almost effortlessly. Between paper turrets and the death timers being so long the match snowballs so hard in one side's favor that both teams try less, so why bother dragging it out?

I'd say 15 minute surrender vote would be a bit more reasonable with the surrounding issues.

Doesn't help that nowadays assassins get one or two kills then end the game at about 15 kills. IM TALKING TO YOU Zed AND Leblanc

I didnt agree with this until I went against a Zed yesterday. Like Im not a pro yasuo or anything but I know the match up well, and after one malphite gank that they both safely dove between two towers for it was over. I could not even take a step in range of his shadow even without risking dying.

It's completely insane, I don't get it. A Leblanc with 2 early kills can just roam and ruin any lane, and once they do they usually get 2 towers out of it. I'm completely OK with the fact that some matches are just unwinnable, but don't force me to dredge through it. I'd rather just stop playing.

It's true haha, their gold and kits just go much farther with the death timers now. It just comes across as so pointless to still have surrender be a 20 minute function if they're gonna make some teams downright unstoppable after 3 towers.

No reason a team can't decide ten minutes in to discontinue. With an unfavorable matchup, or a significant skill level difference 10 minutes is all it takes. Items help, but you can be completely starved out in roughly ten minutes with the state of the towers.

I think part of the issue is people don't understand the value of towers. If they kill 2 towers, that's basically giving everyone on their team an extra kill. If you have that much extra presence then you'll odds are end up securing dragon too and with no green wards it becomes impossible to keep your own jungle warded, which its why it's usually a stomp from that point forward.
