The worst thing about this preseason

Is the increased death timers. Seriously, a 50 second death timer by the 30 minute mark. What on earth were they thinking when they decided that the best way to shorten games is by locking players out of the game for longer periods of time.

Its like Riot got together and deliberately thought of the best way to make the game less fun.

Didnt Dunkey say "games go for way too long every time" and "death timers are too short" in his strange video that everyone seemed to agree with? Maybe Riot just listened to him in preseason kek

Longer death times along with minion waves pushing harder against the losing team makes for extremely punishing moments. One mistake can cost you the entire game, or leave you hanging off the edge of the cliff by your fingertips. Riot indulges themselves in our suffering. Not really, but I much preferred longer, challenging games. Not stomps that end in favor of who doesn't make the mistake first. I've tuned in to too many spectates, only for the game to end around 9-15 minutes in high elo. It's sad.

My most enjoyable game ever lasted more than 80 minutes.

This, sadly, will never happen again.

No the worst thing is they admittedly said they like that games are shorter. (by 7%)

Probably to end the game quicker, there is an ACE, you can push and win.

so much fun when your playing really well with your team. the enemy team feeds and plays bad. all our turrets are up. and just because we make one mistake and MF ults and they suddenly win a team fight. we lose because the death timers as you mentioned are long enough to take down mid lane turrets and the nexus turrets and push for win. its stupid.

I think you mean the best part since we can actually end fucking games now instead of needing to stall every game to 40+ minutes.

Minion wave pushing is the biggest problem.

Deathtimers aren't based on time, they're based on level...

I honestly don't know what's wrong with 1 second per minute of the game. I'm not sure how it scales right now, but I don't like it because it isn't easy to understand.

I am a pro clarity player, all the way.

That's the worst thing huh? With so many things I hate about this preseason, I didn't really give this much thought, but I guess that's another thing to add to the pile.

Fifty seconds does not seem so long if super siege minions are in your base.
