I can't tell if its the server or the Comcast Plague I've been having the past few weeks. It's the same symptoms I've been having, Ice Skating, minions lasting forever, and then constant Trying to Reconnect.

I think it's quite clear that a defenders' advantage is needed.
There is already a "winning advantage", aka snowballing, since being ahead gives you access to more items than the other team has. If you don't have a defenders' advantage to give the other team a chance of catching up, games would be pretty ruthlessly one-sided once one team has even a small advantage.
Imagine towers didn't attack champions. There'd be a small defenders' advantage still: your minions defend your tower while enemy minions die under your tower. But even then it'd be horribly boring to play against a burst laner when you're behind -- there'd be absolutely no way you get any farm once the opponent is a kill ahead, since you can't farm safely under tower anymore.
Upgraded siege minions and increased minion health, dragon buffs, baron buffs all are essentially helping a winning team, since it's easier to secure objectives if you are ahead than it is when you are behind, generally speaking. It'd be very one-sided if you grant attackers these increasingly strong advantages (in addition to their gold lead) without having a refuge where the other team can try to make a stand with a defenders' advantage (towers).

For fun, per se, but it would be so users can some experience about a 5s settings. If you're bronze or silver and you end up laning against me (for example), it would be because you asked for it and wanted to learn how to lane better. There should be no raging post game, which is something that has consistently plagued TL IHs in the past. (oh, the amount of butthurt stories I've heard...)
Yango approached me about this a few days ago about how he felt sorry for some of you guys who have never gotten to LoL beyond solo queue.
I am down for this. While I have enjoyed Tl dota ih without issues, I've never really found a group to play lol with.

There are a great many inertial mechanics built into the game, many of which are related to hidden information. Incentivizing actions that move the game closer to a conclusion is something game designers have to take a very active hand in. They spent quite a while tuning the average game length up and down and I doubt they're looking to change it. What might be possible is changing where on their power curves players end up at when the game concludes.

Its been a long day, but reading TL LOL GD coming back has made me feel a bit better.
I've been going backwards through Jazriel's posts and you can almost see when he starts going crazy (first he's a noob at LoL and asking for item builds and stuff and putting forth his own really bad ones, a brief stint arguing that objectivism is good cuz objectivism, and eventually insisting he's really good just that he doesn't play ranked into RAGE ANGER INSANITY). Psychologists could probably write a paper on him.
Also the three eggs and steak I made. Let it be known that when I met my heart attack, it was with a satisfied stomach and while browsing team liquid.

Need don't sales really screw it up because the base price is an odd number and they round down leaving you with a weird multiple of 10 that you can pretty much only resolve by buying other things that are on sale?

No but seriously I would be down for the TL inhouses to improve thing. I promise not to insult people even if they think they're good and they aren't. I'm on summer break from my doctorate program so I have some time until September where I'm only taking one class. Let's do this!
