I have often come back or had another team come back from a difference of 6 points. Why would you surrender ten minutes in? You're barely hitting level 6 by then, and the game hasn't really started.

There are some instances where a ten minute surrender would be nice, but at that point in the game there is still a lot of room for recovery. A bad k/d ratio can be over come by playing more defensively. I would suggest that surrender becomes available after an inner or maybe even an inhibitor turret is destroyed.

you can still come back from that

What about when it's 1 or 2 towers down on every lane, 1 person is afk or quit, and it's 3/9 for one team to the other.

And it's very rare to come back after the gold different has been set up from 3/9, due to the difficulty, and the level of play it took to set up the kdr difference. A majority of games end up a long wait for an obvious result. A 10 minute surrender time still seems like a good idea.

Even if it's possible to come back, it's very unlikely. So what KDR is needed to say there is no possible way of victory? Pro games aside, most normal games are decided by 15 minutes unless it's pretty even the whole way.

I personally think if a person has been missing from a game for 5+ minutes a surrender should be allowed early but that is the only case I could agree before 20 minutes.

We just came back from a 14-30.

One stupid play on their part and you can turn it around.

I got a quadra after they got cocky under turret and that was that.

Why not just make a surrender option at the start of the game?

Some people give up way too easily

You could probably argue 15 minutes. But 10 minutes is just too soon.
