Riot, the LCS, the new runes, and game times
Never in history can I recall where LCS game times have been so disgustingly long in the LCS, and I get you want to find an answer to that problem. Personally i'm not against the new Baron, and I feel the player base is over reacting just a little bit. But if I agree or disagree, this is unimportant, for this isn't about Baron buffs or nerfs this is about something else.
Read what I said. "never in history can I recall where LCS game times have been so disgustingly long". Someone feel free to stat check me, but I am 99 percent sure I am correct on this. But let's see...what changed this season..what possibly changed..?
The introduction of new runes/masteries, the introduction to tools like stop watch and many other things. Buffing Baron will change nothing, when Baron was not what caused the problem in the first place. If you wish for games to be shorter in the LCS look at what caused it in the first place.
For both solo players and LCS players have been complaining about the runes for a long while.
