I was unable to find this information anywhere. When you're trying to join a game, at certain point the accept loading screen appears. You must click the accept button.
After certain time, if you or somebody else fails to accept, the group is torn away and the search for game continues. How long is that time?
Riot Games has designed their IP system to reward playing the game to completion and to reward longer games:
Q: Will I be getting more or less IP and XP as a result of this change?
A: While you will get more or less in some games, the average XP/IP gain will be much more consistent. If you typically played very long games, you will tend to get more IP and XP; however, if you typically play short games, you will get slightly less IP and XP.
While you do get a bonus beyond the "per minute IP", that bonus is designed to compensate players for the time between matches:
Q: It seems unfair that I spend 5 minutes milling around in queue and in champion select, and don't get an IP/XP reward for that. Does this system help with this at all?
A: Actually, it does! All game types give a slight 'completion bonus' that is equivalent to several minutes of play. This is embedded in IP you earn.
That being said: provided you could get into another game in substantially less that 7.8 minutes, you'd make out slightly better by surrendering and starting a new game. You'd have to do this a lot to see a substantial gain, however. If it took you longer to get into the next game, you'd actually incur a loss overall.
In short, it'll usually be best to play to 55 minutes, then bail out if you're very likely to lose. At that point, you're essentially playing to see if you'll get 145 IP vs 94 IP. If losing seems like a foregone conclusion, then you're mostly playing for the experience at that point.
I'll try to sum up what I found at the wikia article about minions:
There are a few champion abilities that increase the amount of Gold the caster gets when slaying a minion:
- Ashe's Hawkshot passively grants her 1/2/3/4/5 bonus gold per kill.
- Gangplank's Parrrley grants a bonus 4/5/6/7/8 gold if it lands the killing blow to an enemy unit.
Katarina's Voracity grants her an extra 25 gold on each champion kill or assist.- Twisted Fate's Loaded Dice grants him
and his allies2 bonus gold per kill.- Smite grants 10 gold when used when enhanced by the mastery Summoner's Resolve Summoner's Resolve.
- In Dominion, Promote will cause the user to gain gold for each of the promoted minion's kills.
Like FallenAngelEyes said, you gain more gold the more times you manage to do the last-hit or killing blow on a minion. To get most out of a wave of minions just last hit as many as possible. If you have to decide between killing a melee minion and a caster minion and you can't get both, go for the melee as if gives more gold. Kill a siege minion whenever possible - they are worth the most.
Some numbers: Farming the whole first creep-wave gets you 114 gold, the 3rd wave sums up to 147 gold. Cleaning a whole wave after 30 minutes would give only 36 more gold. Therefore, it may be better to help your team and gain an assist than farming a whole creep-wave.
Another thing to know: the gold received from neutral monsters in the jungle and the dragon does not scale with game time, therefore killing these becomes less relevant over time.
Edit: With the Volibear Patch (1.0.0.130 released 11/29/2011) jungle monsters now give less rewards at the start of the game but scale over time - both difficulty to kill and gold/experience. I'll try to add some numbers as soon as I know them.
Edit 2: Katarina's passive no longer grants gold, instead it gives her a reset/cooldown reduction. Twisted Fate's passive no longer affects his allies
