I think a way to help with game pacing is bring back laser turrets
Have laser turrets in base meant that people actually had to work for the turrets. Rather than them being crippled in one minion wave at 12 minutes is stupid. Honestly it gives opportunity for fair play and snowball reduction. It help behind teams play around them rather than having their entire base taken in one swoop. The base that houses the nexus should be the most difficult and require more resources to take because its how you win the game.
