Can we please change surrender timer to 10 minutes?

My team went 4/30. I had to play out the game for 20 minutes before I could surrender. I don't want to play a game I literally have no chance of winning. I know this is an extreme case, but it happens.

I have never understood why people decide they just cannot possibly win and just give up, it is so annoying to deal with that for an entire game. Its like trying to get a piano out of a 6 story window and the person at the top decides they are too tired and the person on the bottom can handle it. You have signed up for a job, play your heart out if you want to win, whether you are losing or not. I just played a game as nidalee where I was and my team was doing completely terrible. The end score was 37 to 63 and we kicked their asses, and we barely got to 20 kills by the time they had about 50. You really can come back, especially in low ELO.

There is just such a massive gold disadvantage for our team that if the enemies are halfway decent (as they probably are compared to my team if we're going 4/30) that we simply can't win. When it's no longer a competition, it's no longer fun as a game should be.

You seriously think I didn't have a gold disadvantage? Or they were better than us? Yeah you are funny. I barely finished my 2nd item by the end of the game.

You got lucky. Good for you. I didn't enjoy the game anymore, so I shouldn't have to play. Wouldn't you have rather played another game instead where you had more of a chance of winning?

WOAH WOAH WOAH when has anything in this game ever been about luck besides crit chance and tf passive?

The other team threw. That's not something you did, so I referred to it as luck.

You are talking as if they all just afked and we didnt actually do anything to win. That game was very hard to play, but we win because of superior objective control and rotations. There is no " luck " in this game. It is all 100 % decision making. Surrendering is exactly the reason low ELO players are bad, it shows that they do not understand how to play when they are losing in order to catch up, and they have no idea how to maintain a lead when they secure it. You would learn a lot in this game by not surrendering every time the game gets hard.

I'm saying that a good team would have kept you out of the game and not let you make a comeback. They failed to press their advantages and might have let you get a couple free kills in tower dives. They obviously made mistakes if you were losing that hard and managed to win.

Two Shiv Poison is pretty RNG when you're trying to blind a jungle monster.

Is blinding a jungle monster going to be the difference between you winning the game and losing the game?

Could be. Every hit you take is a hit you could have possibly not taken and every hit you could possibly not take is more damage you can take if you get invaded.

you are literally retarded.

that applies to 1 champion. And even then shaco doesnt get invaded, shaco invades.

Only 10 minutes into a game, there's no discerning who's won or not. Low enough elo where players can get a huge lead is also an elo where people love to throw games. All this would do is make bad starts worse as you'll have to be dealing with that one salty players /ff spam from the 10 minute mark instead of the 20 minute mark.

If it's 4/30, I'm pretty sure I know who's gonna win, regardless of ELO.

you have to work really hard as a team to die 30 times in 10 minutes.

Sometimes my teams troll me (and I would like to point out that despite my KDA, I did the most damage to champions in that game). Like I said this was an extreme example, and the enemy all had snowball heavy champs. But I seriously don't think I should have to play the game out that long, just like if there was an AFK I shouldn't have to wait 20 minutes.

Why not just move it to champ select and save the trouble.

Don't know why people are so against this.

It still requires 4/5 people to vote "Yes" and if you don't want to be bothered with the surrender box popping up over and over, just move it off to the side or something.
