hey guys, can someone explain why some people get more drops from the 3 first minion encounters and get ahead a lot and I usually get 1 or none drops? I don't see it as fair, i'd rather it would be fixed number of random drops, so our tactics would be more important... [sg-soraka]
The number of items dropped in the first 3 PVE rounds can determine who wins a substantial amount of the following rounds. I don't know the best way to approach this issue, but I certainly think that there should be a min/max of some sort implemented. I've gone all three rounds without a single item dropped. I've also had games where almost every minion dropped an item. This can create a huge disparity in power with something that has no relation to skill.
Because you get to choose first during drafts AND because you get to earn losing streak gold, not getting items in the beginning doesn't mean you auto-lose
there are some pretty strong come back mechanics in the game.
also if you get a decent roll on your items, but your champion pool sucks then it doesn't matter how good your items are to an extent.
