Game Quality
Lately, it feels like most of my ARAMS have been more competitive than my Solo Q ranked games. sure there is a lot of RNG involved here, but even IF the enemy team gets a good random comp... it still feels like anything can happen and you can win.
too many games lately, in Ranked, you look up at the scoreboard and the score is some absurd number like 20 to 2 at minute 12. so many games ive see on Challenger tier players streams, games are just flat over before 25 minutes. games are either complete stomps, or remakes from AFK / Trolling. i havent had a game go 40+ in forever, and scarcely 35 minutes. my average ARAM time has been 20-30 minutes, 35 if its a bloodbath.
even if i happen to be on the winning team in a completely one sided stomp, it doesnt feel good. i like games where people actually try. i feel like players are just giving up way to easy, and getting tilted at small things. You hear "FIRST BLOOD, AN ALLY HAS BEEN SLAIN" and one or two of your team, and perhaps even yourself, have already given up and start to lightly flame whoever died. its always " oh god, this games over, he gave first blood GG go next"
now granted its still early season-ish, and maybe these problems change with time, but there does seem to be a problem.
