Why the surrender timer should be lowered down to atleast 15 minutes, Maybe 10.

You know when you queue up for a game, Go through champ select normally, Go through loading screen then get in game, That is when one of your teammates runs down your lane, Runs into the turret and feeds a kill, And he continues to feed for the rest of the game, Why should me and the rest of my team sit here watching our troll intentionally feeding for 20 minutes, Even if its not somebody feeding and its just someone trolling around the map or is AFK, It doesn't take us 20 minutes to realize that 1 of our teammates is intentionally feeding/trolling/AFK, I've talked about this idea with multiple players in game and they agree. Now i understand Riot may not want games to be settled so early on, But with a troll/feeder/AFK it already is (Only sometimes with an AFK though). There is nothing left to say other then that its obnoxious to wait 20 minutes for the chance to end the game there, And that reducing the surrender timer down to 15 minutes would fix this problem.

EDIT: After a bit of thinking i'd kinda say 10 minutes probably isn't a good idea, But i can't change to title so oh well :P

I think they should take the surrender option out, that way if your team is losing there is more incentive to try and turn things around because you can't just wait til 20 minutes to quit. There are so many games that I've won when 3 people wanted to surrender but we kept going and turned things around. You never see LCS games ending with one team surrendering. All it takes is one mistake to turn a team fight to your favor and get an ace, which leads you to getting objectives or more. Reducing the time of surrendering is a horrible idea and would just make games worse and make people give up more easily.

Because after a certain point they lose value and aren't worth anything to the enemy team unless they're on a killing spree. You can still win games with one person feeding. It's the attitude you get when you start tilting because someone else is doing stupid shit that's out of your control that loses games. You can only focus on what you can do, just disregard the idiot. Having the option to surrender earlier would only be selling yourself short of a potential comeback.
