I've had two 1hr + games in the past few days and a lot of games stretching into the 50 minutes marks. Does anyone else feel that games are getting longer? What could be causing this? Is it a shift in the meta?

Just wanted to see what others were thinking.

Also it depends on the champions that are being played. Right now there are a lot of AOE mages being played which with their wave clear can prolong the game. When the assassin meta is in play you see shorter games because quite often a team gets aced and the other team can get objectives

You're in Silver 5. That's completely normal.

It's usually a sign that you and the opponents you're playing against are getting better leading to harder and longer games. I actually had a really long game and I was only lvl: 18 on this mentioned account. It was around 54 minutes and harder than any game I've played in ranked and it was only a normal. So people are getting better :)

Thanks for the input. I do feel that I have been improving as a player. Just wanted to get some feedback, as I have only been playing since June and don't yet have a good feel for how the meta shifts and evolves.
