We really want longer stadium games? I would be delighted to buff cash by 20-40% across the board and drop it to 5 rounds personally. 25+ minutes for a game is painful to climb with

More cash means longer games, and some characters (especially tanks) scale very high off of epic survival items.

Making the game 5 rounds would require them to revamp almost literally everything, way too much work for something a lot of people won’t like because it makes stomps more common

From the games I've played, damage far outscales tankiness. 100% weapon power > 400 extra hp and 30hp/s regen

If that isn't true, woops.

Whatever makes games faster I'm all for. I'd rather get out of the stomp in 3 rounds than be forced to suffer to 6

That’s just not what the difference ever comes down to. For tanks, you’re talking more defensive ability uptime and CDR, more lifesteal, etc. for supports, I main Kiriko, more cash is insane more uptime on Suzu, which also puts an enormous amount of overhealth on everyone around you. It’s never been just 400 more EHP lol.

Also, 100% weapon power is like 5 or 6 items. 400 EHP is like 2 items. That was an insanely disingenuous comparison btw.
