Wolfeur2 votesWinTheWarOnPants6 votesuhhhhhhhh was that supposed to lead to post's where the community wanted shorter games? cause that's not what came up(it was the exact opposite actually...)

got it! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
try replacing the word "long" with "short" or "snowbally" in the search tab... https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/zfUUyzoj-are-games-too-shortdecided-too-early https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/oaZFAy0R-games-are-way-too-short https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/6gHpdAjj-games-are-too-long-games-snowball-too-easily https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/qmKNMWLA-games-are-too-one-sided-in-s7
Wolfeur4 votesPlease, that's just a sample, it was from a time where complaining posts where downvoted instead of being put in the spotlight.
There was a time in which people were complaining about games being too long. There was that time where Lee Sin was considered "trash" because he didn't scale well in the late game. There was a time in which "we got late" was the way to say "we won". There was that Feral Flare meta where its infinite scaling was relevant and then got the item removed due to balance issues. There was that time where the inhibitor turrets were so powerful it was a pain just to get one inhib down despite a 5k gold advantage. There was the lane-swap meta where the goal was to get towers down quickly to get faster into late game because that was the goal of their draft.
People were complaining that early advantage was irrelevant, that games were too slow, that they were becoming boring. They said that good plays weren't feeling rewarding because they had better scaling on the other side.
The game changes, the complains change. People always find reasons to their defeats. And usually, the scapegoat is the meta, or the scaling.

That's why i said "When did this happen?", but you didn't show me. If it's just a "small sample size" then feel free to show me more(idk why you referred those post's in the first place, if you were just gonna make excuses for why they don't convey your point). I was here for almost all the stuff you listed(including the alleged time that the "community" complained about games being too long).
...it was from a time where complaining posts where downvoted instead of being put in the spotlight.
What does that even mean? that there was a very small window in boards history where people didn't upvote what they agreed with? that just so happens to be when the posts that verrify your OP were made? https://img.memecdn.com/ancient-aliens---illuminati_o_4369323.jpg
Baron of Bread1 votesThis did happen, I think it was in season 4 after they put the shields on the second tier turrets (or maybe season 5? I don't remember which).

General Esdeath 1 votesI don't know who the hell complained about the towers but they can bite me, I feel towers become nothing more than gates late game, why do you care how much damage they can take late?
aLawfulFalafel1 votesreally?
towers being weaker / stronger makes HUGE meta differences, example : towers have more hp and more armor, therefore takes longer to drop, therefore splitpushing is less effective, riskier, and the reward stays the same, so we can see this affects a playstyle and therefore a handful of champs are directly affected when one champ is affected then all the champs are affected, maybe largely, maybe on a minute level nobody will notice
also, if you feel like towers are just gates late game doesnt that tell you that they should do more dmg late game? ya know, make the towers feel like towers...?
General Esdeath 2 votesI think they should be tankier late game but not to as much damage as their early (Except nexus towers, they should one shot minions aside from supers). Towers now are just pathetic, can't protect you at 8 minutes and at 10 can be killed with 2 waves and an AD champ.
aLawfulFalafel1 votessounds good to me XD
BLACK REALM GOD1 votesi think turrets should be dealt static damage based on character class and lane for the entire game.
Denims Wrath6661 votesyou should be able to rebuy the inhib turrets. or the nexus turrets at least.
Embertine1 votesI think Nexus Turrets should come back after a set amount of time like the Inhibitors do.
Trias0001 votesI think the discrepancy between early and lategame champions shouldn't be so high. Then this won't be a problem. Because now if the game lasts 50 minutes and the enemy team has Vayne, Yasuo, and Veigar, you can forget about winning.
aLawfulFalafel1 votesif the enemy team has vayne yas and veig and you didnt push early and fast against that ticking timebomb then you deserve to lose adversely if the enemy team has vayne yasuo and veigar and manage to survive the early - mid game and get to 50 minutes then they practically deserve to win
