I know why we have so many Snowballs

I've been reviewing a lot of my lost games and they all have one thing in common. I mean every single one. Towers. At first i thought it might have been too much damage or perhaps some combination of many issues but that has not been the case. Every game I lose that feels like a snowball all have the same problem. The enemy team gets 3 towers. people lose lane, people can deal high damage but get caught, people can be out of position or play bad, people can troll or whatever but every single game that I have lost has a similar theme, the outer three turrets fall. I don;t think the problem is FB tower. No I think the problem is that it is WAY WAY too easy in solo que to just get all three outer turrets.

Let me explain why this is an issue. Each outer tower that falls grants a total of 800 gold (not including FB tower bonus) inner turrets grant 800 gold when they are destroyed. When a player wins lane they get to take the tower 9 out of 10 times. It used to require an item or two to do this with the exception of champions with kits designed to take towers. Anyone remember Jinx? Now people can take towers with 1/2 an item. I see it almost every game I lose. 1 BF sword and a single wave of minions is all it takes to take a tower now. One tower isn't a big deal but the problem lies in that that champion won lane and can now roam. The counterpart of them can follow and get 0 CS and lose further for an off chance of helping or stay in lane to catch up. Guess which is better? Because of this the winning laner just goes to the next lane and takes tower #2. Now we have a total of 1,600 gold granted to team (not counting FBT which is an additional 400). The last tower will follow unless they have some good wave clear or in the entire team abandons lane to help them hold. this is normally mid lane. The games I lose this tower falls and now the enemy team is 2.400 gold ahead of us to say nothing of the lead the laner that won has now.

The enemy team now uses this huge boost in gold to buy 1/2 item ahead of my team ( a full item ahead for the winning laner). they can claim objectives being so far ahead now. This often includes the second line of towers granting an additional 800 gold per tower lost. In the past, one laner getting ahead was manageable but now the entire team is ahead 1/2 an item instead of just that one laner. This often happens before the 10 minute mark and it happens almost every time before the 15 minute mark. This leads to a cascading effect where tower after tower falls and grants the enemy team more and more gold.

So what can we do? Ideally, Riot will just buff towers so that they cannot be taken at 10 minutes with 1/2 an item. However, lets assume this won't happen for awhile. This means that once a lane loses your entire team needs to prevent the next two towers from falling. Your jungler needs to go to whatever lane is next in line to help protect (this is normally bot lane because bot tower has no fortification). Wards need to be placed around them so that it can be predicted which tower is next (because if you don't get there first the tower is already gone) . I'm not sure what else can be done. This current meta really punishes solo que if your team will not help you defend your towers. The next game you find your team isn't the one with a laner winning lane PROTECT the tower. Let the enemy have dragons or whatever in the first 10 minutes of the game. If you do not protect your towers its game over because the enemy team will likely snowball and win.
