Why isn't the remake timer linked to when the first wave hits lane?

So far every time I have a member of my bot lane reconnect at past 2 minutes, they get stomped and we lose. Can we move the remake timer to maybe 1:50?

That can be pretty hairy to deal with. It's never fun to have to deal with a game snowballing out of control.

However I believe the reason they've tuned it this way is to give benefit of the doubt in favor of the players instead of their system. Crashes happen. bug splat happens, servers hick-up, a stray bird smacks your dish knocking it out of alignment for a few minutes... All that fun stuff.

While a faster Remake timer would prevent games from starting up with a 'behind' lane it would also vastly increase the amount of 'Left the Game' penalties to include too many false positives to outdo the 'improvements' it might create.

Just try hard not to tilt and keep marching onwards in the game grind. Once you look beyond the Gambler's Fallacy it is truth that for every snowball game you suffer the enemy will get one too. :3

It's not so much I doubt them coming back or blame them, things happen, but I feel with how often that turns into a stomp it needs to be looked at. And I'd rather nobody suffer it =/
