That way we won't have brand/zyra support or junglers that have about as much exp/gold as solo laners. Even though solo laners and adcs will get items slower, it will make the game less snowbally.
Orangesilk4 votesOh, you have this thing where you believe things were less snowbally back then, when in fact the game snowballed EVEN HARDER back then.
You see, with less gold/xp from non-combat sources then the early-game differences from a team who gets early kills are much more magnified. If ambient gold is fairly low then the team who scores early kills gets ahead by A LOT.
By homogeneizing gold income games are shorter, less snowbally and everyone gets to enjoy their lategame fantasy, yes, even the supports. The fact that that fantasy is fairly strong for supports like Brand or Zyra is a balance issue on itself, but not a problem that requires changing core mechanics that have changed for the better in these past seasons.
Jaygo411 votesOh you mean where camps were easy, spawned frequently, but gold and XP on them were fairly low, allowing not only more champs to jungle, but interesting pathing as well?
But what about Graves???? What about Master Yi and other people who farm for days in their jungle and don't have to do anything to be strong? This kind of playstyle NEEDS to be strong. Also, junglers that can gank AND clear WHILE being tanky (Hecarim, Rek'Sai, to a lesser extent Olaf) need to exist just to crowd out tanks from being junglers.
