With the change in death timers and shutdown goal (at 2 kills), I find the laning phase as well as my games to be of longer duration. And honestly, I'm loving it.

I still hate bot turret being weaker, and I still hate that damage is still slightly too high for my taste, but I'm grateful for at least this familar-feeling change to be in place.

Does it actually feel better right now? How many games have you played?

I've been playing very few lately, and the few I played were pretty snowbally- but actually less than usual. I hope there is something to this.

My games have felt less stompy as well. It's pretty nice to see that we gained a way back into the game when a teammate throws hard early. Shutdown changes are really nice. I believe that if you create your lead and you play stupid while ahead you should be punished for it, and that's exactly what the change did.

Yes longer, but because I'm in low ELOs they're suddenly going beyond 40 minutes. But so far just a couple.

Average length of my games are 30 - 40.

Which I feel is perfect.

Are games really longer? I was off playing smite and I still didn't play this patch, except for aram. I'll give it a try again if that's the case!!

No, most of my games are still 15-25 minutes. The only exceptions are when players on either team die 10+ times.
