Games are too long?

From patch notes.

Player Damage

We made some changes to player damage in patch 9.15 and overall it worked well. But it led to games being longer than intended, especially when fights were close. So we’re making some more adjustments. Overall damage should still be less than at launch.

Base damage now scales with current stage. Stages 1-2: 1 damage Stage 3-4: 2 damage Stage 5: 3 damage Stage 6: 4 damage Stage 7+: 5 damage

Are you kidding Riot?

High Econ strats are already massively inferior to just pushing levels. Why are you nerfing them further and rewarding mindless aggression.

dmg is dropping early & mid game.

Making loss streak and econ strats even more viable early game.

Damage isn't changed early game and is massively increased in both the mid and late game if you aren't winning early the games just over. Moreover with the addition of 4 new units hitting stuff while econing is significantly hindered. Currently the only viable strats require too dump all your gold ever creep round at the very least. Econ as a strat isn't even viable let alone at parity where it should be.
