The fact that this is not an uncommon sight at 17 minutes these days is a problem

Had one game where my Rift Herald finished off the nexus. It dances at the end screen too FYI

if you seen the score 0-0 at 20 mins an every lane had its tower that was a good game. now if you see a lane at 0-0 by 10 mins then the junglers are trash.

That's pretty rare... I haven't seen a game like that at 17 minutes in forever. Usually, they end off of one dumb baron as we can't clear their minions and their champs are too tanky for us to kill. If you lose like that at 17 minutes then you clearly deserved to loss or the other players really deserved to win.

I haven't lost a 17 mins game in AGES.

That's not uncommon, that's straight up rare brother. In my three years of playing this game, I can only recall seeing a team getting to the enemy nexus pre 20 maybe 5-6 times, in three years.

This is VERY uncommon. Snowballing exists, but they don't lead to extremely short games as much as you claim.

People for some reason like 5 minute games. Blame them not riot.

I mean look at the score though, what do you expect when the game's that far gone. It's probably better they're about to put you out of that misery.

well said but i kinda started to like it... those exhausting loops of atacking and defensing for 45minutes back in the old days were .... exhausting

have a good day

The moment someone is 2-0, you know which team is going to win.

Bonus points for the new Rift Herald, that added even more snowball in a meta that already had too much snowball.

I can't wait to see if they solve this in the preseason, because this ultraearly meta is not my thing.

Pretty sure this happens when people ignore the Rift Herald when the enemy team has summoned it and gives it a good escort. Stuff like the Rift Herald is an example of something HotS has done right. I think it should stay in LoL.

Riot's logic , release ornn a good late game champ , nerf cassio early ( again ) to buff her late .

I only get consistently sub 20 min games v AIs, most pvp SR games end up at least being 25mins, even when we're stomping pretty hard.

I had a 15 minute game not so long ago. We just ff with a funny score 19:2. Snowballinig whole team is such damn shit Rito. Remove that global gold from kills, first turrets, nerf baron, and don't make game lose after 1 teamfight failed.

sona ?

Rigged matchmaking; absurd snowballing elements everywhere. They aren't gonna fix any.

The drake and baron buffs make it way too difficult to break out of a siege imo. For starters they should nerf the minion buff from baron, it feels straight up dumb to get bulldozed by unkillable minions.

It's beyond uncommon. It's rare beyond belief. I have yet to see a game over that soon. Even with feeders. Even against bots. Even in a literal 3v5, this doesn't happen.

Pre-20 victories are extremely rare at all, unless a team surrenders.

If we nerfed ADCs until the sum of their winrates was less than 50%, then this wouldn't happen.

heck its barely uncommon to see that by 13 minutes
