Fast Mode?
Is there any chance we could get a “Fast Mode” for summoner’s rift? I don’t play much anymore because there are so many factors that ruin the games. Mostly it’s the fact that the games take a long time, often 40+ minutes with 5-10 minutes extra if you include draft, compared to other games where a match will last between 5 and 20 minutes, and often become one sided are no longer fun to play well before the 20 minute mark where you can surrender if you are lucky and your teammates also want to. Being stuck in one of these losing games is frustrating and often in blind pick normal the game is over before it starts because people fail to select proper roles so you end up being frustrated for 20 minutes with no hope of winning. Another problem is that the laning phase can easily be nothing but farming and running away for 20 minutes because you don’t get ganks and you struggle against your lane opponent.
This is why I would like to see a fast mode, to make it less time consuming to be in one of these games and also to help people who don’t want to commit an hour to one game.
I don’t know specifics, but something like surrender at 10 minutes, 200% XP and Gold from minons and towers, 150% minion move speed, 150% minion wave spawn rate, 75% jungle camp spawn time, but keep 100% gold from kills just to prevent snowballing to an extreme degree. Even though this could be imbalanced towards champions with good wave clear, the extra gold should help anybody clear reliably. Still I think there would be an audience for a game that takes half the amount of time just because of how often you invest 20-30 minutes into a draft and a game just to be frustrated most of the time.
