Baron Buff

I've been watching LEC the past couple of days and noticed something strange every time Baron Buff is taken. Under the timer for when the buff runs out it mentions +/-[amount of gold] that will change throughout the duration. I did some Googling and cannot find anything Gold related surrouding Baron Buff. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks in advance.

The number you're seeing is growth in gold difference from the time the Baron buff is secured until it falls off.

Say Red team gets the Baron buff and they are 2000 gold ahead of Blue team. The strength of the buff TYPICALLY means that they are likely to increase their gold lead as a team. If by the end of the buff duration they are ahead by 4000 gold, the number you would see would be +2000. If for whatever reason the enemy team gains ground on them, and by the end they are only 1000 gold ahead, you would see -1000 instead.
