why did riot thing first tower blood was a good idea?

it isn't.

it was bad enough before when 4 man ganks came bot and took a tower.

now if that happens you're pretty much past the point of no return.

assuming there's a double kill at bot along with first tower blood, you're looking at 1.2k gold for whoever got the kills, 650g for the people who got assists, and 400 gold to EVERYONE ELSE.

thats a 2.3k gold deficit that happens in the first FIVE minutes in the game for the team that lost tower.

how is ANYONE supposed to come back from that barring some straight up retard moves by enemy team?

i get that they wanted to put a stop to lane swaps, but holy shit the only reason thats happening in the first place is because everyone does so much damage they can pretty much go anywhere.

riot really needs to stop balancing for these professional players when WE'RE the ones indirectly putting money in THEIR pockets
