im glad this change is happening maybe just maybe this snowball problem will slow down a whole lot.
Darkdemon6531 votesWhat do you see in those changes that suggests to you there will be less snowballing?
xDogMeatx1 votes1.dragons equal different terrain styling which means different ways to explore vs your enemy if behind.
2. it isnt all damage damage damage its utility in there also.
3. the elder dragon burn has a burn execute at low hp instead of a stacking burn over time which is nuts.
4. top lane has a loop spot that allows some form of out moving your enemy.
5. removing true dmg and spear of shojin then nerfing klepto "farming gold off of enemy" thing using range.
6. auto upgrading relics (press F for coin funeral though)
7. (as much as i hate one shotting) they are adding more lethality items instead of being forced the same build of lethality lineup where i want another lethality item so i buy serrated dirk as my final item since lethality items cant stack (2 dusks as example). honestly this promotes snowballing if a skilled enough player gets through the lane like a god.
i hope you understand.

1-3. Nothing in there helps reduce the current amount of snowballing 4. I suppose there is a situation where this could help, but I cannot think of one. Something that I could see helping is something that allows one to stay somewhat close to a wave (particularly if it's frozen) while still being a little safe. If you have an idea of how what we are getting will help, I would enjoy hearing it. 5. We'll see what happens with Conqueror and Klepto, but I will agree based on what has been said. 6. This does not help reduce the current amount of snowballing
Other than #5, my only hope is that since dragons will have a higher potential to be influential, the amount of influence each individual dragon has will be lowered. So, I'm hoping infernal dragon gives less AD and AP than it does now, ocean gives less regen, etc.
