Early game invades make the game worse and should be gotten rid of

Invades do nothing to make the game more enjoyable but can literally ruin the entire game for one team. It's not fun to play against, it's not fun to do, it's not fun...PERIOD. Make the game start sooner or don't let teams cross the center of the map until 1:30 and get rid of invading. This "strategy" isn't fun.

Let's say your jungle and your team decides not to come help you but their team five man invades your red. Then when they get caught they send one person to their red to stop you and hang out at your red to fuck you and since your red is top and their's bot they have a manning advantage. You now are fucked. You now get to be at a disadvantage for the rest of the game and if you're an early game champion that requires to get ahead of the enemy late game champion you just lost the game 45 seconds into it and there wasn't anything you could do to change that.

Get rid of it and let us actually play the fucking game.

or....

if you know they invaded go invade the opposite side? there is literally no reason to not if they're 5 manning.

that or keep better watch for invades, its not their fault you just got caught off guard.

I think that's incredibly subjective. They can be awesome and rewarding, or dramatically set you behind. Some people like that thrill. I personally love invades. It's early action. As opposed to sitting there for a minute waiting for the first minion wave.

With or without it, nothing much will change. They've always been a thing and i don't know how they'd go about getting rid of them.

Sounds like someone is salty about losing to early invades

Have to agree that invades just give certain comps an advantage (i.e: comps with a blitz or naut) invades are so common with these champs now, I just tell people at the start of a game "oh it's blitz/naut/morg/lux definite invade and 90% of the time i'm right. And in lower elo, invades simply take advantage of disorganized teams or less serious /lazy players (especially in solo / duo que) who may not be locked and loaded the second the rift gate opens. Sure In pro player (about 1% of the league community) where both teams are equally ready to go the second the match starts, invade deaths are fully the fault of team members being outplayed. However for the remaining 99% of the low elo league community, that's just often not the case. Bob may have gotten up to grab a snack, while bill may be telling his kids to be quiet...it's just not the same game.

I'de be perfectly fine with speeding up side lane minions to arrive at the same time as middle lane minions, and / or adding an invisible barrier along all the river entrances until minions reach lane and clash.

Early invades are garbage and should be nerfed. Virtually every time an early invade in Diamond+ ends up with one team ahead two kills, the game quickly devolves into a 15 minute surrender, because the team with the kills immediately snowballs and pushes the advantage.

Even worse is the invades where both teams go 3-3 or 4-4, but one team has one kill each, and the other team has all of the kills concentrated on a single carry or high damage solo lane.

I wouldn't hate invades as much if the jungle nerfs never happened. Once losing to an invade essentially puts u more than 3 levels behind everyone else for the rest of the game soley because of less exp

Seeing as invades are not a mechanic but an idea, riot cant do much about it without some invasive and unhealthy new mechanics. The most they could do is make first blood not grant bonus gold for the first 2 minutes to reduce the advantage the team that won the invade would gain. Even then, you're still gunna get invaded if your midlaner and support arent sitting in the right spots pre 2 minutes. Good luck and have fun on the rift.

For anyone who agrees with it sounds like you have serious mental problems, but all I can say about this topic... You're just deluded lol
