A month on, Riot Games has shared that it thinks the update went “relatively well” and revealed the effects it has had on the game.“Players from all regions are enjoying more opportunities for skill expression and we’re hearing feedback that combat is better paced and more understandable […] We believe that slower combat gives players more opportunities to demonstrate more strategic skills like positioning and cooldown management,” said Riot.The developer went on to say that it has seen a decrease in snowballing in games, which refers to matches where one side “snowballs” a minor early-game lead into an advantage that wins the game for them.“We think some degree of snowballing leads is good, after all players should be able to capitalize on their early game advantages to influence the outcome of a game.
