@Riot why longer games are better for the game and LCS
So ever since season 6 we have had the game wrapped around the early stages. I haven't seen anyone like this aside from the occasional new player who didn't even experience a 35 minute or higher minute game in his lifetime. Everyone wants longer games because it is more fun, but Riot thinks it will benefit LCS more if they have shorter games. Riot, you stated a while back that you want LCS to be balanced around the game, not the game be balanced around LCS, but you clearly broke that idea. Longer games are more intense, they leave open for more comebacks. By the games very nature stomps and will happen, especially in high ELO stomps are just relentless regardless if the game is late game focused or not. There was no reason for you to focus the game early, it makes no sense because there can be a whole 10-15 extra minutes of exciting and fun content that players AND watchers of the pro scene are missing out on. I'm not going to go to any MSI event to watch 3-5 quick 25 minute games, That is boring. I want to see some comebacks and exciting interesting fights but if every teamfight lasts 5 seconds who wants to see that? As a business you guys should be pushing for LONGER games not shorter. It benefits you and your playerbase. Please consider making a change.
