I'm all for Riot adding more power to SR...

so long as they finally reduce early game gold/exp rewards from takedowns as well as the ludicrous gold gained from plating and towers themselves. Those are wack. Because of them nothing about this game matters regarding team play; unless your team has benevolent solo laners that don't push their lanes for 30 minutes or until the game ends and don't flip coins in lane to snowball or feed into irrelevancy then every game is going to be a one-sided stomp, just like at least 95% of non-pro games this past season.

Something charming about DotA is how big of an impact the non-tower objectives have over a game - emulating that is A-OK in my book. What's not cool, however, is letting raw takedowns and turret plating (and now even minion exp, possibly) overshadow it. League has gone without actual game pacing for long enough, short games or no.
