Actually unpopular opinion: Shorter games are better
I’m not talking about the games where both teams are even for most the game and it goes to late - Those are fun! Unfortunately, rare. Most games that go 35+ mins fall into 2 categories:
-
Death by a thousand cuts - Far more common. You sit in or near base and stall, but enemy team grabs all objectives and inevitably overpowers you.
-
The late game turnaround - You stall forever and eventually comeback. These games are thrilling but as exhausting as they are uncommon.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing the average game time for league has gone down. Most games are decided far before it reaches late, and better it just ends honestly.
