In all of my games, if someone gets a few kills the enemy laner cant do anything without any help, and even then, some champs will 1v2. Snowballing is a good mechanic in this game to reward you for your kills and such, but i think it's a bit too extreme.
BluePolarizer2 votesA "few" kills? That's HUGE in lane. Let's say you feed your opposing top laner FB at level 4, 3:15, and because of it, you miss 3 minions and she gets 2 minions.
If both of you had decent farm (both of you missed only 1 wave), the opponent can now buy 2 longswords and 3 2 potions. You can buy a longsword and 1 potion or cloth armor and 2 potions. At that point, the opponent literally has double your items.
If you die 2 times to your opponent? Then they're pretty much untouchable unless they make a mistake, you hit a power spike or you get a gank.

That's how the game is supposed to work.
You shouldn't be able to win head to head against someone who's ahead. However, you can still outplay them, and can still win.
BluePolarizer1 votesi don't see the problem with that. In soccer, a single goal against you is a huge mistake. League is more like soccer than basketball.
