Why did people hate stopwatch so much?

I thought it was an amazing item, giving the perfect solution to stopping snowball metas.

Hear me out on this, it's a ONE time save, meaning if you still outplay your opponent every X amount of minutes, they only get one save.

Why did the same boards that complained about snowballing complain about a solution? 10 minutes for it to be used is way too long.

It's overused, and it gave too much safety in the early games. Literally in every game, especially competitive matches, there's always about 7-8 total players carrying it which just blows off the Rune diversity.

I can understand that, but I feel like 10 minutes is way too harsh

10 minutes, & being able to reduce the cooldown of the passives of item 3026 item 3157 item 3193 by 15%, aside the fact that you saved 600gold from purchasing it. It's compensated enough.

Because everyone gets it now.

It didn't really stop snowball metas, it just made it a lot harder to turn the game around against people who were snowballing.

Right now it's just a rune that saves you more early gold than Klepto on freaking Gangplank. It's still insane.
