Aram. First tower down at 3 minutes 50 seconds. Both nexus turrets down at 9 mins 45 seconds. Game ends at 12 minutes.

But whatever you guys say.

So you are using aram as your great example of why games are more snowbally? The mode that riot spends minimal effort trying to balance and a mode the game isn't even balanced around?

More power to you I guess but just like you said. Whatever you say.

I've never seen sub 15 minute arams as reguarly as I do now. It's an observation that is still valid in my opinion.

and in how many players in those games were bots?

I've seen more bots in ARAM than actual people

It's as valid as saying the game is balanced around 1v1ing people and that because some random champion 1v1s you constantly that they aren't balanced and have no counterplay even though there are other things you could do against that champion that don't revolve fighting

My point is that regardless of comp I've never seen an aram end in sub-15 minutes, yet i've had maybe 3 this pre-season alone.

ok and? the game is not balanced around ARAM. ARAM games mean very little to Riot. Unless there is some massive bug or something that is literally gamebreaking they do not are all that much about it since it's a mode where it's very obvious that certain types of teamcomps will have an advantage no matter who they are facing against and that other types of teamcomps will struggle and more than likely lose to any other teamcomp.

Do not use ARAM as a means of saying "the game is more snowbally" it means literally nothing. Give me SR games that games end up faster since that's what the game is balanced around, that's where the focus of the balance goes to. Every single other mode just gets what is essentially "balance scraps"

if you get all bruisers or supports vs a perfect siege comp in aram, that's just unlucky

try making your point with a game mode where riot actually balances champions on? bonus points if the game mode aforementioned isn't a unofficial gamemode turned legit gamemode by popular request
