Objectives Shouldn't Give Gold

Objectives giving gold is one of the big reasons why games snowball out of control. Assuming your team takes an objective first, you already gain a large advantage: the ability to roam, easier farm, dragon buff, baron, etc. These advantages are ones that change the flow of the game, not just speed of acquiring items. Teams get enough of an advantage without the added gold, which just makes comebacks harder.

First tower team has had a ~70% win rate for ages because of how that team is able to change their strategy after the tower is down. They don't need gold too, it just reduces the chance of pushing back. Not just for first tower, but all towers, dragon, and baron.

Objectives giving gold actually controls the snowballing if the losing team plans things right. If they didn't give gold there would literally never be a way to gain a massive chunk of gold as the losing team because you lose fights. They just needed first blood turret to give less gold (down to 300 from 400 on Pbe).

Objectives should be the only thing that give gold besides the normal ticks. Champion kills should not. That would fix the stupid people.

Objectives win games, not kills.

towers giving gold both incentives getting the objective as well a giving the losing team the opportunity to catch up through proper play. its one of the most balanced aspects of the game.
