why we have a surrender option in ranked?

Recently i started playing soloqueue games 24/7, and in many of them i wanted to surrender. You dont have to point out that im a bad player or stupid or whatever, thats not the point. The point is, I didnt want to keep playing, so I call for surrender. But after playing about 500 ranked games the amount of times people actually did surrender is insanely small, about 2-3 games total. Meanwhile, I got a 10 games chat restriction, then 25, then 14 days ban. And all that just from reports for negativity due to me wanting to surrender. Keep in mind, i never afk or int, i always do the best i can and nobody could tell me something about that. They just report me for the surrender. And i ask, why such an option exists, and several times during a game that is, when the 99% of the playerbase is just getting tilted from it? What purpose does it serve besides making people who give up easily, like me, collecting a bunch of reports for using literally a game option? i feel like a one time only chance around 20 min is more than enough using majority vote system. If 3 out of 5 people in the team want to ff that means half the team doesnt want to continue and is forced to a tilting mentally exhausting situation, that will more often than not leat to negative or abusive behaviour followed by reportsand frustration that is usually being carried to the next game.

You have a surrender option for when a game has gone so south that it's no longer fun for the majority of the team, and they want to just cut the extremely likely loss and move on.

The surrender option is not for one player to give up the game. If you want the freedom to leave a game when it goes south, play a game where you don't commit to 4 other players to try your hardest until the end.

The option to surrender is not forcing you to behave poorly.

It's there so the coddled can be more coddled. Basically you can be trash and ruin the game but use this as a crutch so you can get to the next game faster and be trash and ruin another game all the while never learning anything. Too bad most don't use it for the right reasons but abuse it instead for the reason I just stated.

you wont get punished for trying to surrender. but you could get punished for arguing with your teammates and trying to convince them to surrender.

it doesnt work anyway. all you are doing by trying to convince people is getting them to dig in their heels and never vote for surrender. just throw up a vote and if it doesnt succeed just let it go. keep fighting and try again in a few minutes if things are even worse.
