3 mins are fine, don't play their game and jao can always quit just like them before the 3 mins are up.

It's 3 minutes so that new players have a chance to get established against expert players. Otherwise the game would be a building & attacking speed test, which would not give new players any chance. Expert players can work around the 3 min rule.

I know but I didn't get any slack. Play single player first and then ask for help with other players. I personally think it should be one min, if ur gonna leave because its the wrong map leave.

It's allowing you to leave if it's the wrong map, but thats not the only reason there is a three minute rule. What Scott said, and what you obviously keep overlooking was, the three minute rule was set in place to allow for good players to play newer players and allow the new players to "hold their own." If the three minute rule was lifted, each map would just be, who could build up the quickest, there would be 1 strategy, everyone would know/use it, and the game wouldn't be fun.
