The nerf to death timer has returned comebacks. It no longer seems that whoever gets first blood is the decided winner. Games are going longer. And comebacks are now more than ever possible again. Thank you Riot.
... They only reduced death timers from 35 minutes-onwards. People dying early is no less of a big deal than it was a couple of patches ago and games aren't going any longer unless they were already going to 35 minutes.
You are completely under a placebo effect.
Turrets still need buff and minions need nerf
Deathtimers weren't change early until 35min of game LOL.
they didn't nerf death timers tho
Unless this is a PBE thing?
yeah not really if the enemy has a cpl ad carries 30 minute ace = game over.
I thought I'd post this here:
From the man who brought you the 50k views bonanza known as the Yorick thread comes this bit of genius!
Foreword Please read this with a grain of salt. It's tongue in cheek and meant as a satire of our views of (let's face it) the best game company in the world.
A Typical Day at Riot Games

Are games going longer? Most of my games seem a little shorter than they use to be.
Towers still need to be buffed, if the enemy team is full ad and they score an ace that's generally still an inhibitor turret at the least.
