Can you not buff the baron creeps even more?

It is already hard to do anything vs baron push. Game is clown snowball fiesta. One even slight mistake at 20 minutes and enemy takes baron and you can't do anything. Meele creeps are god damn immortal. If you dont have some champion with HUGE wave clear capabilities that can clear effeciently without losing too much resources (e.g. I found Sivir to be basically the only one champion who can stop baron empowered minions waves and supers waves and make it able for team to comeback maybe) you can just abandon those turrets and let enemy take everything they want. And now you want to give damage reduction to casters as well. Like WTF?

You also want to make scaling AD/AP bonus from Baron even stronger. Same for Elder. Maybe first make it actually hard to take those objectives? Taking baron is so god damn easy. This is a huge objective that gives massive advantage. At this point in meta it's impossible to get negative power play with baron. You can't go wrong with baron buff. Baron should be hard as hell to kill. 4 people minimum to do it. Same for Elder drake. I feel sometimes its harder to do rift herald actually than baron.

Don't make this game snowball even harder than it already is. If you want 99% of the games ending under 25 minutes then you are on a good way. Though it will ruin this game even further. Also I think Baron should be just as Elder spawning near 30th minute. That would actually help to create possible comebacks based on ability to play it out slowly.

"We realized that some games still end above 25mins and listened to your feedback. So we are buffing snowballing even harder so you can ff 15 as soon as the score is 0/3.

Pls share more of your ideas on how to not flush this game down the shitter and we will continue to ignore them"

If you want the reason behind the change it's beause of LCS so the teams actually do something and not farm for 60mins.

Of course Riot being Riot they don't realize that this will make it so the teams will farm for 80mins now.

Nashor today is a meme. A 4-0 warwick and the team's rightcliker (sorry i mean adc) can take it at min 20 with no trouble.

It's harder to take down Baron minions than it is to take down Baron.

Are we playing the same game?

All those changes, have proven that Riot is going to kill the comeback mechanism and increase one sided snowball potential.

Don't you guys realize that? It has slowly turned into fast-paced, MOBA like mobile game's?

They literally only buffed it as the game goes on. Early it's not getting buffed, unless you count giving AP champs a more equitable amount of stats.

I just not want to be harshly punished just because our jungler showed up botlane to clear a wave.

The entire point is baron is supposed to end games and clear stalemates. And the buff only affects post 30 mins.

they had to buff it because everyone does apocalyptic damage now and could clear and waves too fast.

"Taking baron is so god damn easy".

Because people don't ward it. Because they don't TP to it. Because they don't dive the enemy team that is taking it and has their armor and MR heavily reduced, making them easy prey for anyone who tries to stop them.

Baron itself isn't hard to kill. But killing the team that is killing baron is even easier, people just don't even try to stop it. Now they will, and that is actual PVP combat in the mid game, which we need more of.
