A sandwich? I once made Ramen in the time it took me to get back to the game.

Ramen? I once prepared Thanksgiving dinner and I was still dead when I came back to the game.

DrCyanide1 votes

Was that a 5 for 4 exchange, with only the support left? Because that's the only way the towers could stand that long.

Melledoneus5 votes

Thanksgiving dinner? Bro, I went on vacation to a different country, had lunch with a foreign friend, flew back and I had to reconnect because of Leaverbuster. Even then there was still a death timer.

I enjoy getting a solo kill on someone as Nasus at 18 mins and then reaching their inhib turret by the time they respawn.

Look on the other bright side...atlest you get to respawn, if it was a Morgana Q you would get a leave buster.

Nothing compares to that death that lasts so long your enemy team wrecks your entire base and wins despite the fact that up to this point you were winning but got unlucky just once XD

J Eevo3 votes

Oh yes, have a lead throughout the whole game, turret lead, gold lead, no way for things to go wrong, then you get aced once and IMMEDIATELY lose. Happens way too often during longer games.

Dessem2 votes

This scenario has come to pass too often:

Your mid lane has inhibitor, inhibitor turret, inner turret and outer turret and two turrets at Nexus. Their mid lane has nothing aside from a turret at Nexus.

They win a teamfight.

They also win the game because they pushed down everything in mid.

Kairya2 votes

To be fair, if you had that big a lead, you probably could and should have finished the game a long time ago.

It reminds me of those ARAMs where people don't finish intentionally and prefer butchering people on spawn. Just once in a while they screw up and it costs them the entire game.

J Eevo2 votes

You can have a big lead and still not get an ace because they play super safe and just clear waves when with men down. If there's noone to defend though, the towers melt ridiculously fast, and the death timers are long enough to end.

Kairya1 votes

That can happen, but it's probably also possible to make a more risky play by either having someone tank turret and melt it down or engaging on the enemy beneath their turret. If you are far ahead you should win that fight.

Another possibility would include heavy splitpushing, which almost always gives an opening at some point. Or try and force fights at Baron, Dragon etc.

I know that it isn't easy and I have plenty of games too in which my team just doesn't manage to finish. But that is usually to mediocre decision making and not because there is a truly impossible situation.

It's better than nothing. This is the first pacing change they have made since the start of this season, at least they acknowledge the problem and will hopefully do more in the next few patches.

And i'm certainly not praying for them to fix this game before I quit because i'm buying that Elise skin day one

CarameI Frappe3 votes

Same here man. I really want that new Elise skin too :D

Yeah I agree, why punish people for mistakes? Why not let games go 70+ minutes every time? Stupid rito.

macromite14 votes

70 minute games with reasonable death timers are better than 20 minute games with retarded death timers. at least in the 70 minute game all ten people got to play league of legends.

You were unlucky, if you were hit by Morgana root you would have had the time to watch the entire Lost series again

I got to wack off to jen setler and bust at the last second, imma say worth, rito pls no nerf.

For all the people complaining that its possible to lose after getting aced once at 35 minutes in game with a huge lead and losing. Yes, it's called a throw. The death timers are there to make it so that it is always possible to win for a losing team. It adds a lot of strategy to the game. Even if you are winning, you cant let down your guard down for a second otherwise the enemy will capitalist on it. Happens in real life battles all the time. But I guess now-a-days kids want games to be easy.

Just a bit too short for my 5 course meal.

AtheosisX2 votes

In a game where matches average 30-35 minutes how is 30-55 minutes "mid-game"? That's what I want to know.

Critmaster Garen2 votes

i think they just want to give us a reason to use death timer runes.

-15% time spent dead sounds really attractive right now.

Llanite1 votes

Next patch note:

LoL client will now exit if Alt-Tab.

Solve ya problem.

CheftoniFTW1 votes

Legit, these death timers are ridiculous. Even if you only get your first death 20 minutes in, you have to wait 30+ seconds to come back in. That doesn't sound like a lot, but that leaves the enemy enough time to take 2 towers and either drag or baron. :/

I thought this was going to end with your nexus exploding.

Just make yourself a sandvich, get comfy, open a movie or 2 and when your finishedm you just respawned!
