Is this seriously still how the game is after this many years of being succesful?
In my series, 3rd game so win or loss decides it. Xerath never connects, not even into champ select and we win multiple teamfights and catch people out for about 25 minutes but just can't win because we're missing a carry mid. If a player doesn't connect before first blood or 5 minutes the game should be loss prevented it's as simple as that
