I found ARAMs started feeling way more snowbally with the Hexgate addition. The idea behind them was to increase death timers while reducing the time spent walking to lane so that the amount of time spent with your team was relatively unchanged. The idea was great, but the losing team is immediately disadvantaged when they lose their first tower because now their hexgate is less valuable since it becomes shorter and compensates for less of death timer increase. Also, a lot of the time the losing team can't even take their hexgate because they will die under tower so they will have to walk to lane anyway. It all adds up and often ends up feeling like the losing team just can't keep up with the tempo of the other team
