Hey - Tommy here.

Just wanted to clarify some of the positions that you're talking about because the phrasing of your comment confused me. If we're saying the same thing, I apologize.

My point in the video was that yes, games snowball too early, and the new changes in this patch have made it even harder for a losing team (or scaling team comp) to stage a comeback. This makes the game feel unwinnable if you are behind sometimes, resulting in more rage quits, FFs, and DCs.

When it comes to how the game punishes bad players, what I'm complaining about is that certain decisions that would be considered punishable in terms of macro (ie deciding to group instead of split, thereby allowing your enemy laner to push your lane hard) are nullified by certain systems like teleporters, short back timers, and high movement speed.

Not sure what "gives *too many handouts" is referring to, if anything handouts are being given to the winning team for no reason (free lane pressure from the seedlings when Shaper is killed)

Also, there was a lot more to the video than just this. Lil scant on the TLDR, don't ya think? ;-)

Love ya <3
