Can we have the normal paced, strategic SR back?

Theres no point in having 2 fast paced modes, this is not a mobile game.

Summoner's Rift should go back to it's roots and be 30-45 minute game length on average.

Nexus Blitz, ARAM and Twisted Treeline should be our fast paced bloodbath game modes.

I would prefer 25-35 minute, but games don't feel like they're decided 10 minutes before you actually lose your nexus (being 15-25).

The fk is going on with Riot? League has already been pure shit since preseason 8. Why are we dealing with another fast game mode? League is a joke right now and their decision making is really pissing me off.

The community will be split even more, which will create longer queue times and more Auto-filled games will run rampant.

Let's be real here, folks. People are leaving League because 'Runes Reforged" failed and Season 8 is trash.

I think that was the intention with adding Nexus Blitz. Riot knows that the game's been going downhill since they started appealing to the battle royale crowd, but doesn't want to do a full revert of Summoner's Rift and alienate a large part of their audience.

Hence, they make a new gamemode to satisfy those who prefer the fast-paced gameplay of a battle royale, and then turn back to people who like their League slow and strategic.

If this is their intention, it's pretty clever. I'm skeptical as to whether this will work or not, but I really hope it does.

Yes please.

Slow down SR games and leave Twisted Treeline, ARAM and Nexus Blitz as the fast paced games.

I've played mobile games that last longer than a SR game.

Agreed, I feel this is a great opportunity to allow for two different modes to fill two different intended purposes. Summoner's Rift was never designed for 20-30 minute games, and Riot's attempts to compress match times to those windows since Season 6 have come at a monumental tradeoff in snowballing, balance, and overall fairness. Designing a map from scratch that would lend itself to short, bloody games would remove that burden from the main game mode, and allow it to return to a more appropriately-paced and balanced state, one that would allow for strategy to prevail once more.

They want this to be new kids attraction! Ages ago they went away from strategic SR and took approach of making this android tablet game your kid plays on the way to school.

riot is under the impression that they are a battle royal instead of just making an entirely different fast paced game and leaving this on the fuck alone they are just fucking everywhere (this is a result of not firing morons)

TWO fast paced gamemodes, you say? Silly you, with Nexus Blitz we'll have THREE fast paced gamemodes if we don't forget ARAM, and we are not even considering "rotating" gamemodes yet...
