Reality about games being shorter : Ranked vs. Normal
the fact is that since pre-season changes games tend to be shorter. However I just noted that's only true for normal games. Ranked games are still 30-35min. games.
When we play normals we tend to try random things or funny things. In the past when you made a mistake it wasn't this punishing. Now it is a lot. So it's impossible to play normals to chill you have to play as if you were playing a ranked game if you don't want the game to end before min.20.
It's a little bit frustrating that you can't chill in normals now. Normals should be the funny games not the serious ones.
