First Tower Gold seems to be massive in deciding games

The general amount of gold is very high, but the fact that every player gets a piece of it is what I think pushes it too far. Getting all that gold and not even being part of the tower taking, heck not even being on the same side of the map or even alive might be too much of a power boost. Not to mention getting FBG as well, which usually happens around the same time. I dont mind having some FTG for the players who took part in taking the actual tower, but just by being on the team that does it and getting all that gold, I can see just how hard it is to defeat a team who gets it when on the professional level. It is like getting a kill/assist advantage on every player on your team. And with how snowball prone league is in general, and how it seems to just refuse to deviate form being so, FTG IMO just does not appear to suit well with the overall health in the professional level games and might be better off just removing it (or at least lowering how much bonus gold you get).

I liked when they added FTG, It serves its purpose. You wanna TP bot to maybe get a kill? You might give up your turret for FTG. It adds a drawback to certain situations.

It use to, I agree that the drawback was good, but they messed with it when they also made bot tower weaker, which is why the 5 man gank to the bot lane before 5 minutes is so common, the tower falls almost instantly with no chance for another lanes to go down before it. If bot tower were just as strong, then FTG would be fine since it adds that risk when Top and Mid gank other lanes.

I'll take that over lane swap meta anyday though. It was the right move to make.
