What should riot try to reduce snowballing games?

What are your ideas that you would like to see in league?

I would try this

I would like to reduce kill gold to 200 from 300 and readjust the gold for dying multiple times in a row; assist would start at 100 and be allocated evenly to all players who got an assist.
Up objective global gold by 50 (outer and 2nd towers only); increase inhib, nexus turret and tower inhib global gold by 100 (might need to reduce local gold appropriately)

I think this would take the focus off of killing the opponent over and over again to more objective based play.

They have reduced it so much over the years it's to the point where i'll be 20/0 and still can't 1v2. Numbers are all that matter in this game. If you get in a fight, look at the map. Count the enemies. If it's 2v1 you win. If it's 1v2 you lose. Snowballing is barely even a thing anymore. I can still 1v2 or 1v3 on Yi sometimes but that's just because of a broken build on him and even then you have to be pretty far ahead (3 full items before 20 minutes). I used to just kind of like Yi, but lately he's all I play because they have pretty much ruined everything else. Even he is pretty weak until I get 2 (specific) full items. Just my 2 cents...I don't spend a ton of time on this game so maybe i'm wrong idk.

Games are lasting 30 minutes and the winrate isn't hard affected until you take baron/inhibitor. If you reduce everything, it will only become a "Who picks the most late game champs" wins

There are myriad things Riot could do. Fixing turrets would probably be thing with the most impact for the ease with which it could be done.
