An old meta: end before gold / exp difference doesn't matter - or turtle until

Pretty much the title. It used to be the risk of early comp / a strategy of late comp ...

As early champs comp, you had to end the game before the gold (full items) and exp (level 18) didn't matter.

As late champs comp, you could always try to turtle and win despite being behind at that stage, if the early comp didn't manage to end early enough.

Now this doesn't matter anymore because games always end before that mark, so whoever gets a lead wins.

I think this was an important (and healthy) part of the game which has been deleted by short game length due to snowball / damage, baron nashor siege power, weak turrets.
