Huh? Didn't quite follow you there...
My point was that HB 5K games were faster because the rewards for actions are higher, and so the the whole process of killing a creep and putting it's 28 cents in your piggy bank so that one day you'll have 10k is avoided. One of the Devs argued that the reason for the longer game time is because the teams are more balanced. I disagree with this, and argue that many times, teams are not balanced and unless key players leave, the fate of many league beta games are determined 20, 30 sometimes 40 minutes before they actually end. It's just b/c the rewards are lower, and everyone is saving pennies to buy a titan, that it takes so damn long to finally put the nail in the coffin.
