Why do games snowball out of control so fast lately?

I either stomp or get shit on, there seems to be no middle ground anymore. Whoever gets the first kill in a lane wins it easily too often. Games are often over by the 20-25 minute mark, either by a surrender or the nexus blowing up. Is it me or is the game really this imbalanced? It frustrates me to no end.

Because adcs are overpowered. When adcs snowball you basically lost.

also cuz preseason and people are trying out the dumbest tactics they can while nobody cares about win rate because ranked is fucked. I think that happens every year about this time.

It does; sometimes I like to highlight this for newer players, by posting old threads that could easily have been written today.

It's because people think after they die once, they can kill the other guy the next time, evem when it's a 0/2 vs a 3/0.

People are stupid like that. Even I've fallen victim to stupidity.

We don't have the same stat ball defensive traits from runes, new mastery/rune combo allows for some hyper aggressive glass cannon builds. combine the two damage goes up a good deal because defensive went down and aggression went up. They removed catch up EXP so bad players who would rely on vsing other bad players to create lanes with sling shot effects where ones ahead dies other comes back gets a lead dies, rinse repeated, no longer have the same edge and will be punished harder for misplays or failing to return a kill, once a gaps there it will just get larger with out teammates help... but folks are not getting this and keep the previous mind set of abandon a lost lane its gonna be ok.

Tldr people have not fully adapted to preseason yet.
