Bounties are absolutely ridiculous

Snowballing is out of control? Gee! Let's add counter-snowballing to pingpong the game even more! That'll make it more fun!

Said nobody who plays the damn game ever.

Just had a game where I got dove and managed to nab a lucky ignite kill after I died. Came back to lane, got dove again, managed to kill the guy but died to his ignite afterwards. Imagine my surprise when I hear:

"SHUT DOWN!"

The guy legit got 150 extra free gold for that bull. (450G kill)

Boards: "We want solo carrying to be more possible."

Riot: "Ok, lets change kill bounty to be super rewarding when you're behind and come back from a deficet."

Boards "TOO SNOWBALLY."

I gave up a bounty for 1100g yesterday, pretty disgusting that that amount of gold is now going to the one person who got a very lucky last hit kill (and didn't even deserve it), despite 3 of them jumping me from all sides.

But it's even more disgusting that I was able to snowball that hard to begin with....

Capitalism at it's finest.

Give not wealth to all, but one alone.

Riot should make it a like 10-15 second window before the bounty actually activates, so that crap doesn't happen anymore. It's always SUPER annoying when you get 2 really lucky kills in a row but your enemy is still ahead so they get free gold on you when they kill you after the second kill with ignite.

Yall wanted it. You cant say "give me x!" But when you get it cry "we wanted x, not y!" When you need Y to get X.

I like the bounties. Should maybe make them apply only after 3 kills though.

these bounties are better than the team gold bounties tho.

let's say you're top, getting fed but your midlaner is behind. Now the enemy jungler and top team up on you kill you and their midlaner suddenly got stronger.

Its one of the few ways to combat snowball (at least, one which riot doesnt mind). By making bounties like that, it means that if you get a kill, you will be rewarded with a bunch of gold. And use that gold to catch up to the enemy for a comeback.
