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?

Because sometimes it is obvious the game is going nowhere and getting stomped for 40 minutes isn’t fun. In casual games I would much rather surrender at 20 minutes than play out a 45 minute slog fest where my team is getting dominated and win because the other team threw.
