In what world does rewarding the support with 1000g and everyone else with 37g make sense?

The enemy top lane or jungle is snowballing out of control with a 1000g bounty and takes your entire team to kill, but your support, let's say Soraka, just happens to get the killing blow. The Soraka walks away with 1000g and everyone else gets less than a cannon minion for the assist.

End result is that the bounty is basically wasted. With the current state of the game revolving around doing as much damage as possible and one shotting the opponent before they one shot you, giving all of this gold to Soraka does nothing to help your team do that. This does absolutely nothing to help your team catch up.

This aspect of the bounty system is complete nonsense and should be reworked before the next season starts.

Raka with 1k can do a lot for her team. That's almost half most the items she would want to build.

If that means Soraka gets ardent censer now rather than 5 minutes later that can make an enormous difference.

It really doesn't when the 13-1-2 Camille is one shotting your carry.

"Killing enemy before they kill you" is not a "state of the game", every game where enemies kill each other works like that, whether it is a moba, pvp mmo, fps or a fighting game.
If you don't want to be oneshotted, getting gold on Soraka is actually nice. Unless you are actually oneshotted(killed by 1 hit of something), she can heal for a lot with just W-R if she has items. Sure, full item adc can outdamage full item Soraka healing, but her "full build" is like 30% cheaper.
Usually the ones who deal more damage have better chance of getting a kill. Lets say that in 5 man fight she has a 5% chance to get a kill while you(the damage dealer) have a 50% chance to get it. Then, on average, she gets something like 80-90 gold while you get average 500 gold. If you make it so that everyone gets the same amount, she will receive 200 and you will also receive 200. So your suggestion will actually make it worse for damage dealers on average
