The 15 Minute Mark

Let's discuss the 15 minute mark, there are some things that have been annoying me lately when it comes to surrendering before 20 mins that I actually think makes games Longer than before the original surrender at 20. First, there is the obvious /ff at exactly 15 mins, which means that the next surrender is at 18 mins --> 21 mins = 1 minute longer than original 20 min surrender. Add to this, there are 4 other players on your team who are probably tilted off their rocker at this point.

Out of about 20 games of ff at 15, let's assume that 1 game ends at 15 mins (a generous assumption) --> 20 games at 1+ extra minutes to save 5 mins in one game? Getting 4 other random people to agree on ff at 15 is next to impossible, now it is ff at 21+.

If you are like me, you probably get this 'gut' feeling when you know that there are certain personalities on your team or certain situations where there is no way no matter how long the game goes on that you are going to win this match or that even if you could it would take 50+ mins and you would much rather move onto the next game.

I would suggest that a new ff at 18 is implemented where you can vote ff after every 3 minutes after the 18 minute mark (similar to the original ff @ 20). Also, if someone ff's at 16, they should still be able to ff at 18 and allow a 4/5 vote to pass. I hate it when one troll gets to waste the time of others; by giving trolls the opportunity for more troll-ish behaviour, the game is becoming more frustrating and toxic than it could otherwise be.

Tell me what you think of my solution or if you think there is a better solution or think there is no problem at all.

Also, overall, do you think that games are too long and would this change help with your overall enjoyment of the game?

Keep it Classy,
