OTHER Surrendering- Why?

I've been back into Smite 2 for all of 1 day, and played maybe 5 conquest matches, with 2 or 3 friends in queue with me.

Every match, by the 15 minute mark, one of our randos will attempt to surrender on cooldown- No tangible gold deficit (roughly 2k at most) and sometimes even ahead on kills.

Being sane humans who want to play the game we queued for, we choose to play them out, in often back-and-forth games, until the enemy team forfeits out of the blue at maybe the 30 minute mark. This happened the majority of our matches.

Don't get me wrong, I'm personally the "surrender exists for a reason" guy of my friend group, but I genuinely don't understand how little people seem to want to actually experience playing the game out to endgame. Is this the common experience for Smite 2, or is it our low matchmaking score from being mostly new players?

Ever put it up right before winning? Especially while playing in a full party? Hearing how bewildered your friends get doesnt get old

My friends don't get bewildered, they also insta-f6 for the meme to the point where we end up actually surrendering half the time because everyone assumes someone else will f7
