Farm bounty is still bs.

Had a game as kayn jungle into lee sin.

I was 1/7/4. 154 cs. Yeah. I was feeding out my ass.

Lee sin was 10/4/7. 144 cs. He was doing pretty good. Clearly better than me.

So he has a 9 kill lead on me. That’s approximately 1800 gold. Last time I checked. 1800 gold is a lot more than 10 cs will get you.

So why in the hell did I have a 300 gold bounty? :/

Because yeah. This lee sin that’s been shitting up and down my ass all game needs help catching the fuck up.

Farm bounties, among many other things, are Riot's way of telling you that if you are good at the game as it once was, you need to leave the game because they are removing all forms of tactical skill from it. Literally, every aspect is moved towards flashy, twitch-reflex nonsense over actual skill.

The best part is when you see someone who is 0/2/0 against a lane opponent that is 5/0/3 and the 0/2/0 guy is actually /down/ 11 CS and has a 450 gold bounty. :D This legitimately happened in a professional game. The casters were talking about how absurd it was... A game or two later, casters no longer were criticizing those things. Funny how Riot silenced it real fast.

I saw that too lol. It’s because riot will never admit to a mistake.

Nope. Never. But, they will have their Troll Knights come in and yell at you because it is your fault that you are ahead without playing to their very specific style of meta they enforce on you. Typically, a meta requiring no skill. Lovely. :)

Getting punished for playing well and farming adds SO much gameplay, farm bounties were such a mistake. They released comebacks and close outs in the same patch like why those contradict each other

To be fair, I'm pretty sure it was added to stop "inting sion."

Sion would just farm and never get kills until the end (if at all), so his kill value would decrease to the minimum without being reset with a kill. It didn't "stop" it, but it nerfed it. I'm not saying it was the right move, just stating what happened.

Nah. They raised the minimum gold per death from 50 to 100 to help with int'ing Sion. CS bounties exist to punish skill.

Because your team was winning the game despite your shit score

We did win that game. But the fact that bounties are determined by your performance compared to the opposite player means I shouldn’t have a bounty in this situation.

Source. Klepto karma tops entire existence.

Bounties are determined whether your team is winning or losing then beyond that is your proformance compared to the enemy.

Okay. And my performance compared to the enemy was shit. I was 9 kills down.
