(NEW IDEA) 1 Free Kill at the beginning of every match

As a person who mains almost every role except fill, I understand how important it to design the game so that it is fair and enjoyable for all players.

My rationale

  • If everyone is given a free kill, everyone has extra gold.
  • If everyone is given a free kill, everyone will be given more experience.
  • If everyone is given a free kill, it stops people from trying to get first blood through aggressive play (like getting out of position to get a kill).
  • If everyone is given a free kill, it encourages people to worry more about farm/cs than a kill.

I think if we tried this in the PBE we would see a difference!

Thoughts?

That wouldn't change much except faster lvl 2 and extra 300g. People will still try to kill enemy early, and actually people wouldn't worry that much about missed farm early because they got 300 free gold at the start

Then the problem becomes quenching the thirst for the 2nd kill. If you give 2 free kills, then the problem becomes quenching the thirst for the 3rd kill. If you give 3 free kills, then the problem becomes quenching the thirst for the 4th kill. If you give 4 free kills, then the problem becomes quenching the thirst for the 5th kill. If you give 5 free kills, then the problem becomes quenching the thirst for the 6th kill. If you give 6 free kills, then the problem becomes quenching the thirst for the 7th kill. If you give 7 free kills, then the problem becomes quenching the thirst for the 8th kill. If you give 8 free kills, then the problem becomes quenching the thirst for the 9th kill. If you give 9 free kills, then the problem becomes quenching the thirst for the 10th kill.

That's all for now but there are still more problems. Like what happens if you give 10 free kills but I'll get into that later. ;)

When everyone is special... no one is.

Why should you stop people from trying to get first blood? They don't want first blood just to have a kill. They want first blood to have an advantage on the enemy, because being stronger than the enemy brings you closer to victory.

If you give any number kills to everyone, they will still do their best to get an advantage over their opponent.

Why would you even discourage people from killing their opponents? Aggressive play is one of the strategies which can win you games.

Thise makes NO sense whatsoever. What is the point? It would just be a shitty way to implement more starting gold...
