Now, it might be because I’m Silver or something...

But I’d say about half my games are 30-40 minutes.

With all the complaints against game time, I thought I’d throw in my two cents; I’m not trying to prove anything.

I’m posting this to ask if it’s really so uncommon or if it has to with ELO or whatever. What do you guys think?

Average game times from bronze to challenger go from like 27 minutes to 21. These are my possible explanations.

  1. Selective bias could make you forget shorter games

  2. Maybe you're just good at stalling out games.

  3. maybe you refuse to surrender even when super behind.

combine these with how low elo games still end up running long even in the current meta and there is your explanation

Depends on if it is a normal or ranked game. People dick around in norms usually which tends to stall it out another 5ish minutes.

As far as ranked games go the elo has everything to do with it for different reasons.

1.higher elo players know how to end games through experience. 2.higher elo players have more "drive" to end games for obvious reasons. 3.higher elos are less likely to throw.
