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:-

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.
