Nearly every single game is a stomp and games rarely end even at the 30 minute mark and when they do it's only because the winning team was fucking around for 10 minutes. This isn't even remotely fun anymore.
TLDR; FIX IT!
SooFr0sty5 votesI'm jealous my games get to 30 all the time because one team throws then the other counter throws.
Leonerdo4 votesIf people want longer games, there are ways to force that. Play a safe champion, play for CS in lane (not kills), and help your allies when they are struggling (even if it's just roaming with 0 chance of a gank, to let them break a frozen wave).
When you have the option of losing a tower, or losing a tower + your life + the dragon spawning soon, just leave the tower to die.
It's not hard to play safe and extend the game. It's just that most people don't have as much fun playing that way. People just want to win lane and win the game, or "go next" asap.
I'm being a little unfair and exaggerating a bit. But you have to admit, some people play recklessly all the time, and that only helps make games shorter.
AMYS GRAVE2 votesStalling strategies haven't been viable in years. Where have you been?
Aimléss1 votesAs it stands, an individual is not capable of solo dictating the game's pace atm, unless they're the one feeding/snowballing, especially someone who plays a lot of ADC like me, since you can't really roam across the map early. It only takes 1 out of 10 people to feed and roll the game into a snowball. The funny part is there are probably like 3 feeders per game on average, and that's mainly because counter picks and jungle gank consistency is too strong.
TLDR; Sure, players play a role, but this is more of a game issue than a player issue.
HelpOrIFeed4 votesThere is too much damage, especially ADCs and assassins.
Towers are way too weak.
You don't get enough gold from legendary champions, so there is little benefit to shutting them down and therefore very little catching up from killing them.
Snowballing is too extreme. It is too difficult to catch up when behind.
There is no punishment for playing bad. You can get an S rank or a D rank and it makes no difference in how you are matched the next game. Only the win or loss matters.
Automated Riven1 votesThey took away the kill streak gold for single players and made it teamwide. The gold is the same you just don't get all of it.

tanks don't matter? in what game cause in my games tanks and adcs are the most obnoxious and everything else is irrelevant.
Fairyfleur2 votesCan you elaborate on why you think tanks don't matter

As a tank main, I can attest that most teams can shred through tanks like hot knives through butter right now. I only have good teamfights as a tank when I'm dipping in and out like Riven, and a tank is not meant to play like Riven. A tank is supposed to be the first one in and the last one out. When a blasted Jinx can melt my full build Rammus in four autos, something is wrong with the tuning.
Fairyfleur1 votesThe only way you're being shredded is if you're engaging the enemy team by yourself, in which you deserve to get shredded. A tank shouldn't survive the force of five people for very long.
Assuming your carries are doing their jobs, you won't be dying in a full 5v5 fight or at the very least you die but your team wins the fight.
Also, could you send a clip of a full tank Rammus being shredded in four autos by Jinx on equal gold? Because that shouldn't be happening unless the Rammus is like level 8 against a full build Jinx.

All I know is, in season 4, I could have a full build on just about anyone and I could survive for at least six seconds with everyone bearing down on me. I can now no longer survive six seconds against a single full build ADC.

I will play several Rammus games until I find a Jinx, and when it happens, I will indeed upload the clip. It may take a bit, but I'll get on it.
