I understand you want to make games shorter. We don't Instead of making 5v5 short make 3v3 fun and short.
Most people ignore 3v3 but I feel we should make it more prevalent. Have 5v5 be a 30-40 minute game and have 3v3 be a 15-20 minute game (Or something like that.) Many people want long games and sure some want short games. So give us both. 3v3 can have the high damage. 5v5 can have less snowballing. Thoughts? Rito?
YokoNomi1 votesThe problem is, the game is almost entirely built around the 5v5 meta. We have Twisted Treeline, but I'm not convinced that any particular guide or build I use in common place for any particular champ, would translate well in a mode that throws that meta out the window. Even in ARAM, some champions just don't translate well, because they either aren't built for early game, or are in on way capable of sustaining that type of mode with their kit.
Though I feel like arguing the length of any game mode is sort of difficult to argue. 1-2 hour matches I didn't mind, but it felt vexing after a mere couple to a few games back then. Yes, the trolls did feel less consistent, since the length of the matches probably discouraged players to throw the game. But despite how difficult it is to climb in ranked now days, it was a lot worse to try to do back then.
Edit - While I doubt this is possible to do anymore with how far the game has progressed, games built to last 40 minutes to an hour at most sound reasonable, even if it is just a thought to play around with.
Kavren20551 votesThats why I'm saying make 3v3 a seperate branch of league. Split the team, split the meta.
I don't think 2 hours games are good unless the XP was massively increased
