Change Surrender Timer

My opinion on the surrender function and how getting rid of it would improve the game:

I believe that we should be able to surrener whenever we please because it goes into a vote regardless of time being past 20 minutes or not. There is no reason that we need to wait 20 minutes just to have the chance of surrendering a bad game.

The reason people leave/AFK is because of a bad game being a waste of time. Abolishing the surrender timer would solve the problems of trolls, feeders, toxic behavior, AFK's, and leavers.

Eliminating the surrender timer would really improve the game and make the players much happier to get out of a bad game and on to a game they can enjoy.

It definitely needs to be lowered when people are AFK/DC'd. Also, a 3-1 vote should never fail because an AFK guy didn't vote.

I hold no opinion regarding this matter as of now, but I suggest that we take scenarios where instant ff can be abused into consideration.

  • Teammate picks a non-meta champ, and the other 4 ppl are too stubborn to accept it, ff it is. That teammate and the other team's time is wasted for no reason even tho that non-meta pick could've worked.
  • Argument during champ select (ban choices, champ choices, lane choices), ff it is. The other team's time wasted for no reason.
  • Game started, enemy shaco got fed but you know he falls off later so the game's far from over, but your teammates went " jg fed gg" and ff.
  • Nasus&Veigar vs Riven&Zed. Riven&Zed didn't bully opponents enough and Q got stacked up by 10mins, ff and move on to next game who cares about defeat not like there's significant consequence. Nasus&Veigar endured the hardship to powerup but before they have a chance to do anything with it their opponents decide to end the game.

As such, it's going to be very difficult to even start a game, and even if game starts chances are it won't get to the end - as originally intended.
