My ARAM games are starting to last longer than my SR games

IKR? Games are already often curbstomps. Why in the world do they think they need to buff baron and elder drake so drastically? I can see the logic of making them more impactful maybe but the extent they took it to is gonna kill any chance of comebacks for games between like 25 mins and SUPER late game.

^ If by better you mean turtling being universal because of one team skewed with more ranged oppression than the other than yea

it's probably because of the passive gold gained, everyone can sort of keep up and no one falls behind hard like they do on SR. So in the end team fights happen more or less even. The biggest thing is the comp you got though. But with everyone building up a lot of times they end up with 1 or 2 wounded survivors that just can't do much and get scared/killed. Aram is fun though :D they patched it to make the matches shorter but they made them better and still the same length gg

I have 3 friends that play basically only aram because they can't stand how snowbally and shitty SR feels.

Stopped playing SR 2 seasons ago because how stressful it became (a single mistake is hardly punished). Even ARAM is becoming the same, you can check my match history, I barely don't play anymore

Paper Towers.

ARAM buffs inc. First tower gives 20%CDR, second tower 40% lols. I can see it now.

Starting? Please, by mid s7 my ARAM games were ~5 minutes longer than any of my SR games.

I mean the changes affect the game 40 mins in. I'm surprised your games are lasting long enough for you to feel this effect.

People are surrendering at 15 half the time now, Baron doesn't even have a chance to spawn let alone Elder Dragon.

15 minute surrender makes me feel so gross. I hate giving up that early but I also don't want to be the one guy who continues the game if the team is THAT demoralized. But its freaking solo queue, ANYTHING can happen, we can't play to 20 minutes just to make sure?

The game has to go VERY long before the SECOND Elder dragon is able to be taken.

It's weird to see you have two seventeen minute games. You got curb stomped so hard they didn't even need the damn baron.
