Surrender Timer

Hi,

Can someone explain to me the brilliant game design around the surrender mechanic? I would love to hear the designers explanation as to why A. there is a surrender timer to begin with and B. Why the surrender timer is 20 min.

From my perspective the surrender timer is completely obsolete, encourages poor behavior, and contributes negatively to a players performance.

Lets consider an ARAM match (why the fuck are there surrender timers for ARAM?) Lets assume a very likely scenario in which a player on your team is AFK, quit DCed, it doesnt matter why, but the game is suddenly a 4v5. Your team is down a player. Now technically yes, depending on comp it is still possible for your team to win, but it is much more likely that you wont. So again why must the team down a player have to endure a huge disadvantage, play down a member, likely get steamrolled over and over for 15 min until the surrender timer is up? Please Riot explain to me why anyone should continue to suffer and be stuck in a very unpleasant environment? The Surrender vote takes a greater majority. So who the fuck cares when you let people surrender in an ARAM game? The greater majority of the team has to agree to surrender. One person is not pulling the trigger. So again A. the system is super broken, forces people to continue to play in a very unpleasant environment with no escape. This is fucking ARAM you fucking dumbasses over at Riot. There is absolutely no reason for the surrender timer to exist in an ARAM or Dominion game. For a multi bullion dollar game this is so disappointing that you idiots are so stupid.

A team should have the ability to surrender and exit a match at any time they choose. Regardless of the game mode. You created a system in which Alt+F4 or any disconnect apparently (unproved) punishes players. (Gives them a short timer before they can requeue) You punish players for inactivity, you punish players for not contritubting to a match, and you FORCE players to continue to play 10-15min into games that were over from the very start. What you ultimately just did is guarantee 4 people had a terrible experience in your game. All of which could have been completely avoided. I seriously hope you are all paid minimum wage because you have less intelligence than someone flipping burgers at a fast food joint. You are some of the dumbest tunnel visioning designers I have ever had the unfortunate pleasure of experiencing your shit designs.

TL:DR - Riot designers are fucking idiots. The Surrender timer is extremely obsolete. The timer is pointless as a greater majority vote is always needed to surrender anyway. Finally, the inability to surrender only greatly increases the likelihood that some players will have an extremely unpleasant gaming experience. Which in turn will likely carry over to their future games. The Surrender timer does absolutely no good, has no purpose and only makes players have a very negative experience. Riot designers are so so stupid.
