Games are moving very fast after latest version

I feel like games are moving a lot faster than they normally do, and as a result I feel that there's not as much counterplay as there used to be. I remember a few seasons ago the game average would last about 35+ minutes, but now I feel that games end around or before 30 minutes. I'm not sure if this is intentional so that players can get in more games, but I feel like there is more pressure in this season to do well and not fail in a game than in previous seasons. It's harder to get characters into the actual late game, and early game characters seem to be very strong right now can can propel themselves into their power spikes sooner.

I don't know. I'm just posting thoughts.
