ARAM should be S@15 like Crystal Scar & Twisted Treeline - not S@20 [Poll inside]
Some matchups are just extremely skewed, and, while this is a fun game mode, Aram can become a very unfun stomp.

If it's a very unfun stomp, it may well be over before 15 minutes anyhow. But some comps struggle early, but if they can make it to 20 minutes, they're able to start turning the game around. If you moved it to 15, you'd see even fewer of these turn-arounds, because people will surrender at what appears 'hopeless' just before they hit the point where they have a glimmer of hope.
Honestly, I'd prefer them to remove the surrender option from ARAM completely. But I realize that's unrealistic, because you have to allow teams to have that out if the opponents are just endlessly fountain camping instead of finishing the game.
Surrender is a tool to prevent being griefed for an infinite amount of time by a team that refuses to complete the game, it's not a button for you to leave any game you don't feel like playing.
People give up way too easily and too early in ARAM as is. I wouldn't support moving the timer any earlier. I find it very very rare for a team to surrender, as it should be. I much enjoy just playing it out. If it's 1 sided it'll be over before 20 mins anyways.
