It seems lately the unrated experience has hit rock bottom. 8 out of 10 matches get surrendered somewhere around the 5th to 12th round mark.

The last 5 or 6 odd unrated matches that I've played have all had someone or the other in the team saying things like they have to leave because they are hungry or something. They pester the entire team to surrender every round till they can call for a vote. And lord have mercy if the vote fails because then for the rest of the match they'll throw or sabotage your team, hence ruining the experience anyway and leaving you wishing that you had surrendered.

This pattern has gone to a point where you if you are planning to just play a couple of games in the middle of work to relax, you'll just be left frustrated. It's just an endless loop of starting a game, playing some 5-10 rounds and ending the match. It doesn't even matter if you're winning or losing, the surrender call will come anyway.

This is my experience from Mumbai servers only, of course. It may be different for other regions. I wonder why would you not just play spike rush if your interest in a match lasts for only a few rounds! That would be good for everyone involved.
