My bottom lane is 1-12-1. Turret plating literally just fed the enemy an extra 800 gold.

On top of the 450 gold for first turret. While artificially prolonging the game/laning phase, and possibly even giving my team's bottom lane players a false sense of safety.

Please revert this stupid mechanic. It does absolutely nothing but snowballing the winning team even harder when one team is losing.

That's... the point? The team that is winning should win. A losing team shouldn't be able to drag the game out for an extra ten minutes then lose anyway. Either get your crap together and collect some bounties to get yourselves back in the game, or lose. If you go 1/12 in the first 14 minutes, you deserve to lose, period. No point in letting them trap their teammates in a game that is already over.

Now, if people would actually use the stronger turrets EFFECTIVELY and farm up using the longer laning phase so that you at least have a shot at winning the midgame, then you have a chance. If the enemy wants to be greedy and attack the turret while you're right there, punish them for it. You actually have to be alive to do so.

If somebody goes out to feed twelve times in just as many minutes, the new turret gold didn't make that win any more guaranteed. It just speeds things along.

I hear you on that but here's the thing, it's not about me. It's about my team mates. I'm the one that has to clean up their mess. It would be nice if I were punished less for their noobness.

Here's the perfect example of a match that shows exactly what I'm talking about:- https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2918533071/228591326?tab=overview

This game I ended up on a team with 4 retards. These guys fed 1.6 kills per minute from minute one in the game. I could almost, just almost carry it. If they enemy team had perhaps, 7K less gold, I'd have probably been able to turn the game around myself because unlike my team mates, I'm not a retard and actually have some idea of how to play. The match before this was exactly like that too.

Why should I be punished when I get retarded trash like this every game? That has nothing to do with me and I can't control how horrible my team mates are. I mean just how much do you expect me to be able to do when my own team gives the enemy enormous leads like that for no reason. They should limit how much of a lead feeding trash could give a team. How would you feel playing 10 games in a row where you are fighting tooth and nail to win and your team is simultaneously doing everything in their power to make you lose? This is bad design on Riot's part.

The players that don't have down syndrome and actually want to win should not have to fight so hard against their own team to do so. Easy to give gold leads are the main culprit. Shit players should not be able to give such large leads so easily. Turret plating gold is one such culprit but not the main one. I think kills give far too much gold.

0 respect for somebody who lumps in the duo together. Either the support or the adc can be screwed by the other, and treating the lane's loss as the equal responsibility of both instead of looking at the details is detestable in my eyes.

You have 0 games where your botlane was even close to 1-12-1 🤔 could this be the case of lying and exaggerating facts to make your point look stronger?

Because there's absolutely no way that their score can change between the laning phase and end of the game. Ending the game 1-12-5 after going 1-12-1 in the laning phase totally isn't possible.

Ironicly, the only game your botlane lost that hard (FINISHED game 2-12-6) the only fed enemy member was Elise jungle, going 12-1-1, while YOU as a jungler went 1-3-4. So obviously they lost a 3v2 lane while you were doing... not much i'd guess.

Seems like the enemy jungler outplayed you and knew how to apply pressure while you fell behind, oh well, blame it on the duo lane who was getting shit on by the enemy jungler.

I'd also like to point out you did less damage in that game than support nautilus - as KHA ZIX. ALSO ALSO - you're a d5 player playing against low golds and silvers. Top kek, you're totally not just salty you lost a normal game.

Hey,

I've removed an unnecessary insult from your post. It added nothing to the discussion and only inflamed another poster. It's better to deal only in facts than to insult others to make a point.

Their goal was to prevent a single death in lane from being a lost lane, but if you completely dominate your lane, to give you more of a reward. I do think the gold values are a bit too high for plating, but like the overall idea of it.

it is nothing of what you say, now laning sucks even more and it all depends on the jungler, you can be fed as fuck, then the jungler comes, kills you, him and your lane opponent takes 2 plating, you come back and you are now even, all the advantage you had is lost, then you get ganked again, down goes your turret, and you are left behind, it is simply bullshit stupid and unfair, it is another incentive to play like a bitch and leech on ganks. and no I'm not talking about having a lead as Darius on a Nasus, this mechanic negatively impacts any matchup, you actually earned your advantage, why the fuck should the jungler be so goddam fkn important? everyone bitches about being strategic and that this is how you should play, well were is the "videogame" in this? Fkn chess is better now lmao.

no i 100% agree plating sucks balls. Because I dont think the game should be 100% determined on laning. Strategy needs to remain a factor not someone who can just press r and smash his face on the keyboard.

Does anyone remember the good old days were KDA was actually impactful and being good at playing the game was the only thing that mattered?
