Just had a 43 minute game that ended 45 to 42

Oh man did it feel great, we had split pushes, team fights, objective fights. Honestly 10/10 best game I've had this season. It didn't feel like a stomp or get stomped game...

No team could quickly end the game even with morde dragon ghosts siege. No team could instantly kill the other team completely. Towers felt difficult to take for both teams. Elder dragon + baron didn't end the game, it took a respawn of half of the team, and a split push with remaining baron followed by a 5v5 team fight to finally end the game.

Oh do I miss these longer games that feel like you actually earn them.

When can we buff tankiness, and nerf damage so that I can have more of these games?

I looked in your match history and I noticed something:

Both teamd either had no Marksman ADC (Yours) or a bad one (enemy Twitch).

And bam, once we take Marksmen out of the match, we have a great game with good fights and close calls.

Yes, make the game melee only. It would solve everything.

Marksman aren't the only ranged class, also I doubt he wants to remove them, just make them balanced.

I do miss more frequent long games. My last game to eclipse 40 mins that was a good one wast around 30 games ago lol. It only took so long because our Jihn/Alistar smashed bot lane while their solo laners destroyed us and Me (Cho) and the enemy Kayn went evenish in the jungle. It was essentially a 3v3 with 2 extra people running around on each team trying to do anything. Jhin with a Alistar and Cho Front line > Assassin Kayn, Lux, and Teemo in the end lol.

I spose a game I had on Corki mid took 48mins and we won being down 9 kills, come back win was also pretty good.

I think it might be because the enemy twitch had the 9th lowest damage in the GAME. He barely beat out your Support Kayle.

It could be, it could also just be that all of their nuke mages + nasus could kill us faster. Twitch had a bad tendency of focusing me down and I had armor (morde).

Exactly. Like another comment said, look what happens when you take marksmen out of the game. Fun games.

Or... it could be the fact that it was a clown fiesta. There was support kayle, yas adc, etc.

GigglesOOct 2, 20172 votes

Which is exactly what makes the game fun. This organized got first blood won the game is boring af, especially when damage is so high that first blood is just a I had the better level 1 trade.

Eh, this game was just a fiesta. It looks like everyone played like crap and no one was in the right place at the right time. That's usually what happens if you have a game with 2 kills per minute, and that can happen regardless of whether or not there are any AD carries.

SnowplosionOct 1, 20171 votes

Wait, support Kayle, a feeling Twitch, Yas ADC... What in the HELL was happening in that game.

I miss long games too. I hate the "10min first tower, 15min inhib" shit that happens now

WacingTheFindOct 2, 20174 votes

Tbf I don't think games should be long everytime, it should depend on teamcomps, an early game comp, with champs like panth, lee sin,etc, if played correctly should be able to finish games quickly.

The real problem is that, regardless of comp, games are ending way to soon, and the rare long game usually only happens because the winning team doesn't know how to end the game.

I was expecting to see "said no one ever"

Could be due to the event at the moment. People who don't usually play Normals are forced to do so if they want to earn the mission rewards. Makes it kind of rough for those who plays Normals though...
