Damage is too high, lose streaking is just a bad option.

Anyone else feels TFT games should last a bit longer?

HP in autochess games is a resource and you can spend HP to get gold essentially by lose streaking. But it's just so damn dangerous in TFT.

Even if you win a TFT match the game only lasts like what 35 mins? I think that is too low and it should be closer to 45-50 minutes.

Also, on another note, how does it make any sense that 1st place gets more points than 8th place loses? Or even 2nd place at some instances. Or does this just happen if MMR is good?

If they increased the length of the game, it would skew the tactics too far toward economy builds, rather than an early push. If you spend your gold early, you're making a risk by not getting interest, so there needs to be an effective benefit. Right now that benefit is being able to knock out your opponents unless they're able to catch up in time.

Likewise you should have a reward for risking being knocked out when you save up your money. Right now if you can survive while saving, you end up being able to vastly over-roll and over-buy compared to your opponents that went for an early stat. If the game were lengthened by not damaging as much, you would remove the risk of saving, and there would be only one strat: save to 50 before spending.

Keeping it the way it is is healthy for allowing multiple strategies.

I think the game is plenty long, maybe a bit too long still.. Definitely don't want/need it dragged out. Shut, the really close games that go to baron /elder dragon do seem to last a good 45 minutes. Thankfully most games don't go that far. If you lose but not by much, you don't lose much health, you get stomped you lose more.. Seems fair to me.. As fair as a RNG heavy mode can be at least. lol

The higher loss than win has always been a feature of ANY Riot game to ensure climbing is "Legitimate."

From what I can tell, it's working too, because one guy has TWO of the top 10 Challenger accounts.

Meaning...... this is a skill based game, because that wouldn't occur on "Luck."
