Games really are ending before 20 in this snowball meta

Things are moving a bit too quickly as of late

My only issue with the snowball meta is that it's adding more toxicity to the game. If another lane goes 0-4; that lane can almost solely carry from the snowball aspect alone. Before you used to be able to just play defensive and make plays when behind. Now the game can be lost from one person having a bad game.

Players are losing their minds and freaking out on players a lot more from this. I can't have a single game of League anymore without someone harassing or blaming another player for a lane. The tilt factor/disappointment that your own player skill has a lot less influence now than past seasons is getting to people. Your only as strong as your weakest link now, and four players are random...

I haven't played a game yet that didn't go to 45 minutes. Just a bad rng streak for you and I. I'd rather have the quick games, nothing infuriates me more than watching my team win a team fight and immediately back and not take objectives. For 35 minutes......................over and over and over. And yes I do ping and try to get people to push objectives, but you know, gotta back and spend this 400 gold before I push anything.

just played 6 games in a row, all ended pre 20 (around 17 mins) with team scorelines around 13-3 or 18-6... i have no idea what happened but ever since the patch dropped its been complete stomp fests. Also to note most of my games had at least 1 afk but it was after one team already had 6+ kills over the other. just personal experience so take it with a grain of salt

Meanwhile, in ARAM 30m+ and just the inhib down was a good game tho :D

As of late? Really? Did you quit for the last season and a half?

Is anyone else experiencing this group mid at 10-12 min for a quick fight, whoever wins gets baron and wins the game? I thought it was this gold- plat elo, but apparently it happens all the way up in diamond 1. I think the problem is the towers once again.

Again riot skews the game, people have been asking for tower buffs for years, and they instead make the herald an oppressive structure destruction engine. It's getting downright spiteful. With a dodge or two, queue times are as long as game anymore.

Good, it's better than only late game champs being able to win if you don't get super fed as an early one.
