The Problem With Allowing you to Surrender at 15 or 10 Minutes

I agree that it's incredibly annoying to have an AFK or have your top lane lose first tower, but there are some issues with having an earlier surrender. I'm not saying that I'm opposed to an earlier surrender, but rather that there are many sides of the story, and possibly even some bad things that could happen because of an early surrender. Just think about that one new player that will miss getting an S because the enemy surrendered before he could farm some more. It's going to be incredibly frustrating for him to miss that Hextech Chest simply because his team did so well that the other team surrendered.

I'd like you to also consider this in your everyday games of League of Legends. Before surrendering, think about the possibility that someone could be missing out on a Hextech Chest or something else. It's very frustrating when playing a game to not only try to get fed, but also to try not to get so fed that the enemy team forfeits.
