Games were too fast and snowball to begin with.
So what does riot do? Removes catchup exp. Creates snowball runes.
Dying is almost impossible to recover from now, well done riot. 10minute games, how exciting.
PrometheS5 votesWow, people getting punished for their bad play instead of getting their hands held and making skilled players have minimal impact? So strange! We should also make it so that when you drop a piece in chess, you get a free piece 2/3 the value.
PhearBunny2 votesDying isn't always placed on "bad play", and are you saying Takedown gold+assist, +minion wave lost,+ exp lost wasn't enough punishment? Things like Riven, Darius and other previous snowballs seem to disagree....you know, champs that are designed to actually be snowballs....but sure, lets just make runes grant stats for every takedown, so that everyone can be a snowballed Riven.
I didn't say you should coddle people for dying. Im saying it was good the way it was, and now the game has gone overboard.

SadKill2 votesWelcome to preseason. Can't say much about the coming season, it's not here yet. :P
PhearBunny2 votesum yes u can. Catchup exp is gone. Runes grant MASSIVE stat boosts when u get a takedown.
Super mega snowball status.
MistaFarenheit1 votesu mean the jungle catchup exp? it still feels like you get alot for shutdowns. i always thought it was dumb to let a jungler thats not doing shit stay relevant just by afk farming, or failing ganks and doing one or two camps just to stay even with some1 whos been dumpstering people left and right.
PhearBunny1 votesThere are junglers designed to afk farm and have late game relevence tho, while being weak in the early game...
Trundle, Cho, Shyvana for example. and then on the opposite side of the coin, you have hyper ganker, strong early game things like Nidalee, Ezreal, and WW that start falling off towards the later half of midgame.
Bunnymap1 votesCurrently that's where it's heading. Doesn't mean they can't change that before the season starts.
SadKill1 votesAverage game time is around 30 minutes. Even in your match history. Runes definitely need tuning, but preseason just started and they will be tuned.
NikeyMoney1 votesI don't know....personally I hardly play anymore since they changed my only Champion I liked Galio. I mean the new form is okay but like my brother isn't able to play with me as much and so I don't really play by myself. (heheh play with myself) ...but I guess, the new system is a lot differant but I have not been around long enough to not think this was something this game does all the time.
Under18OutOf101 votesI agree 100% with what you say here. As demonstrated by your last match, galio is terrible :)
Wandering Bunny1 votesJust get good
