Why is surrender abused so much :(

I don't know how many games everyone else is apart of... but atleast 70% of my games end in surrender nowadays... I miss the good ole days pre-season1 where everyone just played the game for fun. Not every game is winnable realistically, but I noticed you receive less if your victory is a surrender... why punish winning? You get less mastery points, less lp, and less xp. It feels to me like an "Extra" grind system being implementing by the playerbase by itself, it's a bit disturbing. This ain't even a ranked post I guess I'm just getting really bad luck matchmaking today, leavers at 20min or leave after fed lane. feeding happens I'll deal with that fact I do it too, but just leaving :/ allows teammates to be toxic to the players still in the game.. despite never leaving the game...

I wouldn't say its abused but man alive in these last few games I've ran into the biggest quitters known to man, perfectly winnable games and because their whiny ass wasn't carrying they just want to throw in the towel automatically and just whine and complain until the game falls into the point to where you have no choice but to surrender.

These guys are absolutely spineless if the game is not in their control. Just saying.

meta formed so everything before season 4 is history. it will never happen again.

unfortunately with a meta, it becomes extremely predictable what the outcome is going to be. It's not always true, but it's more likely and that makes the game less fun.

games are pretty much decided early on, unlike season 1, I mean after like three trades its pretty clear which lanes win, and it slowly just goes down hill from there. because whichever lanes lose, it leads into less jungle pressure, which leads into such a pain if you dont just surrender.

surrenders happen allot cause player don't like losing and would rather spam surrender rather than lose properly. there is no penalties for trying to call a surrender and people will keep spamming surrender until it goes through. there needs to be penalties for calling a surrender during games.

I had ONE comeback across all games of all modes in s8.

Why would I lose 15-20 minutes on a game that has less than 0,1% chance of being won? I actually wish that they lowered the surrender thresholds to something more appropiate to the state of the game, like 5 minutes for early and 8 for normal.
