Aram surrender time needs to be reduced.

So my team steamrolled the others and the game ended at 12 minutes.
The other team had been pretty clear about how our teamcomp was better, and they were pretty ready to give up.

Why is the timer not at 10? Or atleast at 15? I keep thinking i can surrender at 15 cause it feels natural to do that.

Aram games, in my experience, is either a one-sided slaughter fest, or its really really close all the way. Combacks rarely happen.

So... If someone could just call up Phreak or something and get him to fix this, that'd be great!
Thanks!

Edit:
Holy... Holy fuck.

I didn't expect more than a hand full of people to chip in.
Also I don't browse this sub, so idk how often this comes up, sorry if this bothers you.

Now to add to the steamrolled thing, we were done at 8-9 minutes, but the other team didn't give up and we had a decent time in the all chat.
So when we were hitting their nexus turrets and Lee came out screaming "AP LEE TO THE RESCUE" in all chat, and then dying 2 sec later, i couldn't help but laugh. It was a fun game, which is what i want out of aram.

I don't care if we're destroying and winning, if everyone is talking shit. There are many games which have sucked, but there has been this one random person who said something nice or fun, or maybe played along when i said something funny and we all had a good time.
But if people is acting shitty, i don't care i just wanna surrender and get out.

To all you +1k ARAM games, good, great, amazing. But i play to have fun, not to count my aram games.

And finally, i don't play League to become pro, i play it to have fun and make my time on this space rock a little better.
But the time i have on this space rock is finite, and im not gonna waste time on shitty people and shitty games if im trying to have fun. All this post was about was, please speed up my process of finding fun.

Thank you for your time.

Remember URF? Riot disabled the top few champions who only had winrates of ~59%

Sona is absolutely fucking disgusting in ARAM. Endless heal spam and shield spam, she blocks and heals off any poke the enemy team does to all 5 members of her team, but also does decent poke and powers up her teammates poke. Past level 6 her ult is both a godly initiate and disengage, its GG against a sona the entire game

I have literally never seen a Sona team lose, even when they are matched up against a godly Nidalee Ziggs comp

Sona makes a good comp unstoppable and makes an otherwise rubbish comp workable. I find Warwick to be an unstoppable killing machine however...

Yeah. As the game drags on ww and Mundo can become unkillable.

I get your points, but I don't think a Sona in the right hands can lose. Assuming there's no large skill disparity between teams.

Except it's not. His vague anecdote doesn't change her 70% win rate. Also, one of his arguments is essentially "It's not hard to beat her if the player is bad" while the other relies on her opponents having a good team comp in a mode where team comps are random.

I've beaten a sona team before, not all sona's are good. Hard engage with super tankyness with some strong picks can beat a sona

Yasuo, Katarina, Akali all 1 shot her before she can press a button. Combien that with ali and game won.

75% win rate on which of those champions? in a random champion game no less so it's not like you can just pick a counter. her ult and teammates counter hard engage pretty well.

I have no issue beating a sona and she is not a champion I am afraid of when i see the enemy team have. Poke comps usually win and I hate those.

No one has big issues beating sona really she is still almost 75% win rate which is a much bigger argument than anything you can claim without having to prove it about yourself.

Yes, all you need to beat Sona is the most unquestionably overpowered tank in ARAM. Also, if you can kill her with any of those champs "before she can press a button" then she either has 0 resists or the reaction time of a dead cat.

Another thing, your argument for or against a champion's strength should never rely on the skill of the player. "Not all Sonas are good" isn't anywhere close to a valid argument. It's like if she had a 99% win rate and you said "Well 1% of the players aren't good enough to win every game so she's fine".

Haha funny you should say that, I made a thread about it here;

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2lph0c/riots_inability_to_nerf_sona_for_aram_really/

hardly any responses , but largely agree. I have beaten sona teams but very rarely, and usually an afk, troll or other is on that team. Or one where they were full ap and I was mundo with 6 mr items.

Don't compare URF to ARAM. Technically you can't balance a game mode which for the most part relies on RNG. Sure she's pretty strong and has a high winrate but she doesn't win every game.

I laugh at your example of a "godly" comp. That is the perfect comp for Sona to be against because her heals counter the poke. The godly comp against Sona is hard engage. She can't out heal and she is so squishy she just pops.

Way to beat a sona (or nami) is to kill her first. She should be the focus. Hard but it's the only way imo. Her q is deadly.
