New state of the game

Okay. I know about a month and a half ago I made a post saying that the changes riot was making would break the game. I will admit that on some aspects I did overreact. But some aspects I feel still need some help. Mana pots being taken out take away a lot of the fun in playing a pokey support (EX. Brand, Sona, Lux, ETC.). And personally I feel that the new potions are not worth it unless it is the hunters potion. Also, I feel that the snowball aspect of the game is draining the fun out of it because there is still little to no hope of coming back. I have played probably 100-150 games since the Pre-Season patch. And in the games the we snowball early it is very fun to play and watch your ADC 3 shot their Mid Laner. But when you get snowballed on then these games are the longest 20 minutes of your life. I'm not trying to start a big argument here but I just want to see how other people feel about this.

i feel like with the right mindset and alot of patience you can come back from almost any situation. surely if your teammates try their best to lose the game then its lost. most games tho are absolutely winable.

I see what you mean. But it is hard to come back when their Brand is 8 kills ahead of anyone on your team

Snowballing needs a nerf.... again. The best games are ones that go for 40 minutes. Having a game decided in the first 10 minutes because of a teammate you could not save who does not listen, is a really crappy way to play. One of the reasons I play support these days is it allows me to have greater control over not letting the enemy's ADC get fed, but if anyone gets fed its over pretty quick.

The only gamemodes that work as short modes is ARAM and Dominion because the need to farm is nowhere near as paramount as it is in Summoner's Rift. Because everyone needs farm to some extent, feeding in Summoner's Rift is especially bad.

I just got out of a game where the zed got 2 kills in lane then went on to stomp the rest of our team and go like 20-2
