Instead we made sure the surrender time is quite small (8 minutes). Sometimes you can pull out a 4v5, and if not, you can get out pretty quick. This was, and still feels like the correct call.
The problem with that is, 90% of the time you got people who refuse to surrender. And oftentimes the enemy refuses to finish the game too.
Instead of thinking you made the right call, you could try it the other way. Just to make sure you weren't wrong. Because in my eyes, it's not going to be common that people will leave an aram just because the enemy team has a sona for example.
Wouldn't this be true of remake then? They refuse to surrender in 4v5, so they refuse to remake also?
