I don't know I, but these last game I've been playing have been REAL short. Mainly because its easier to get kills now after you get 1 or 2 kills. The games I'm playing now hardly ever past the 30 min mark, Cause either one of us surrenders, or the base gets destroyed by the 17 min mark. I can't tell, but its easier to snowball but harder to catch up. I guess well see later down the line, but I wanna know what you guys feel about the changes.
Yes, because the game is even MORE snowbally now. If someone gets ahead they can just roam around hte map 1 shotting people with their horribly balanced rune/mast setup. Played 10 games won 6, never once did i think to myself " wow this is fun ". It feels dumb, cheap, and lazy.
I think a big part of this is tower toughness. Or rather, lack thereof. They fall when you sneeze at them. A significant amount of my games actually goes like this: first 10 minutes are mostly equal with a few kills here and there, then someone gets a good kill, takes a tower off of that and from that moment on that team just rampages across the entire map and ends the game 10 minutes later because towers fall so fast and give a lot of teamwide gold. With a gold deficit of 5-10K at the 15 minute mark there's just nothing that the opposing team can do to come back as they get killed over and over, don't get tower gold and get zoned from all their farm.
It is pre season, nobody got adjusted, meta and strategy aren't here so every cheesy pick you won't understand or respect, which make you do mistake which make them snowball.
The short games I had were more due to human mistake and incapacity to understand/work with what they had than the system.
But yeah, the system promote a lot of active damage and stuff, but I think people also didn't figured the meta/how to play with it one bit.
ITS FAST! ITS FUN! ITS PRESEASON! DID YOU LIKE OLD RUNES AND MASTERIES? FUCK YOU! NO YOU DIDN'T! DID YOU HATE SEASON 7 AND HOPE SEASON 8 WOULD BE BETTER? LOL WHAT ARE YOU, CRAZY? DID YOU HATE GAMES ENDING BEFORE 20 MINS? HERE AT RIOT WE DO TOO, SO WE'RE GIVING YOU SOME BULLSHIT GIMMICK """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""RUNES""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" SO YOU CAN GO AROUND ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATE ANYBODY WHO GETS IN YOUR WAY AFTER YOU GET ONE KILL SO NOW GAMES ARE DONZO BY 15 MINUTES!
Guess we're gonna go through another 4 man gank bot at 5 mins meta
Aery deals damage over time I burn a champ every 20sec over time Morgana's W deals damage over time for the cheap cost of 70mana <3
Yes, although I did have one that lasted 45 minutes. But I think they either need to tweak the individual runes for things like tower damage, or buff the towers.
significantly shorter atm.
