Longer games for season 9, please. Solution at bottom
28 minutes is the average time for my last 50 matches (excluding all matches under 20 minutes). Of all 50 matches, there were 19 over 35 minutes, the longest being 45 minutes.
From S2 through S5, my average match time was around 44 minutes, with a few rare games that stretched up to 70 minutes. Outside of a team surrendering, very rarely did a match ever go less than 35 minutes (which were stomp fest). Without 20 minute surrenders taken into consideration, average match time rounded to 50 minutes.
The summoner's code states that you should make sure you have a 60 minute time frame before queueing for a match. That should be changed to 30 minutes now.
Lastly, Of my past 50 matches, I only had 6 items fully built in 16 games. I literally had full build in damned near all of my games back then unless I was feeding or we were getting stomped (35 minute game).
SOLUTION
- Triple tower resistances (health, armor, magic resistance)
- Lower Gold Income
- Lower damage across the board (except assassins) (also except marksman since it's already been done)
- Buff tank champions resistance scalings & nerf their base damage and damage scaling
- triple tower damage, but make it half AD and half magic damage, increase fire rate by 1.5
