Wish we could tune down snowballing.

It seems that in favor of shorter games, snowballing has become almost easier...? or maybe just has a much higher impact on the game. I'm not sure what it is.

I cant quite put my thumb on it, but games are shorter, and more one sided.

It feel it kinda screws end game champions like Nasus, Trist, Vayne, Cass, and all the others who dont scale till late.

game is over before they get going.

And this isn't just me in lowly ol' beginners elo.

I see it in LCS as well. Its like after 20 minutes the game becomes one huge stand off. with everyone just fighting over vision. in every game I see after 20 minutes, and ace is game over.

1 mistake and gg.

creates really boring game play to watch. Nobody taking risks, no "xpeke" style back door attempts.

the best games aren't the ones with high kills, or fast ends. Its the ones where players are free to show off their skill, without a certain loss if they make one tiny mistake.

thoughts?

Removing the bounty hunter mastery would be a start.

They already have.

Wish the game would go back to kills = gold, CS is so fucking boring and can be ping dependent.

That's not because of snowballing. That's because Riot nerfed the shit out of turrets. They lost a lot of armor and damage. Get your learn on!

45 minutes?? thats not late game, thats the next morning game!

Late game in 6.0+ is like 25 minutes.

Honestly I would not care if they reverted all previous patches to before the juggernaut update. As it stands I went from playing everyday and worrying if I had an addiction, to getting in for maybe few matches a week. I mean the balancing sucks far more than any other early season, I don't want to damn near lose the game over one team fight pre 20 minutes. I should be able to make mistakes and play better to come back, not get trashed for the rest of the very short game regardless of my opponents poor decisions.

Whoever was complaining about games were too hard to close and took too long is a moron.
