Just gonna make this quick but I feel like this could be a huge bonus to teams often met at stalemates. Not anything big not gonna throw out numbers but if you were to score an ace your team would be granted global bonus gold, which can also fill the gap after the dragon gold nerfs for mid game objective sieging. Thoughts?
wolfax3 votesSeems like it just snowballs the winning team even harder. And the team that needs it (the one behind on champ/dragon kills) would have a much lower chance of actually getting it.

It's not ideal.
The most engaging games, for players and audiences alike, are close games. Games that are wars of inches, where the tiniest advantages matter. Obviously you want to reward doing well so there's incentives - but as-is Acing an enemy team already gives you kill bounty, assist bounty, and free reign over the map - which usually translates into 2 uncontested objectives, which are also worth gold for every player.
Accelerating snowballs obliterates close games. Which is really, really bad if a game lasts upwards of 30 minutes.
I GANK LANES1 votesI'm not talkin a huge bonus, not gonna discuss numbers cause I couldn't say. But watchin the LCS literally every game is so damn slow if I wanna watch a game I just watch the draft on the league page. I feel like it'd encourage a more aggressive playstyle early. And maybe it could scale w/ time in game? Idk, I just feel like somethin is wrong if 25 mins in the score is still 0-2.
wolfax1 votesIt won't make it any more aggressive because aggressive is dangerous and can put you way behind if it fails. It would have to be a large sum of free gold for the team to convince the entire team to become aggressive at once and risk potentially putting themselves way behind. And if it's that large it's going to snowball them too far ahead for the other team to realistically catch up. Adding more gold for the team that's probably already winning just makes for landslide games.

I GANK LANES1 votesWould be more oriented to early-mid game
