Sorry not sorry, I think games that go on this long should provide some kind of reward for the players involved. Even an increase in the points earned. Why should I be getting the same slap in my face as if it were a 20 min match with no stress involved?
I really don't like putting my 100% effort into 4 games, 3 of the 4 being over 40 minutes long, then this hour-long one …. just to get a bunch of nothing. it isn't right.
The amount of experience received for a game is determined by several rules:
Wins are worth more XP than losses. Longer games are worth more XP. Wins on PVP Summoner's Rift give approximately 5.767 base XP plus 6.626 XP per minute of game length. The minimum time any game needs to last to be eligible for rewards (XP, Missions and anything that requires you to play, win or lose a game) is 7 minutes.[1] Custom games are not eligible to earn experience.

Each player invests the same amount of time for the same rewards though. Games only last that long because of one of two reasons: Both teams are evenly matched and have to tip the stalemate to win, or both teams are evenly bad and have to learn how to close a game properly. If an hour is how long it takes for a team to win, fighting for the same prize, then so be it. If you're unhappy for putting in 100% and still losing, you're not gonna get very far and more importantly you're not gonna have any fun. You put in 100%, then at least you tried. Begging for compensation for wasting your time on a game where you have a 50/50 chance of winning/losing is pointless when the other 9 players are investing their time too. So what if you spent longer on the game than you wanted, you're agreeing to the rules of the game just by playing.
