Yes, in the recent 5.1 Riot added base gates http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_0T8Ky0lEQY/VIoxoib8h0I/AAAAAAAAfrM/xnwIFp3JrKw/s1600/gat23.jpg

(Wonderful picture from surrender@20) Some people like the change and some people hate it, so I'm gonna go over the pros and cojs.

Pros: -Allows for easy escape -Gets to locations faster and easier -Doesn't allow enemy in

Cons: -Allows for easy escape -Enemy can easily assassinate you, if not careful -Enemy has easy access to jungle -Enemy can defend turrets much easier

I might not of gone over everything, but again I tried my best. Anyways, I'm not the biggest fan of this gate, seems a bit overpowered, but after reading what people have said, I think it's for the best, so leaving it alone wouldn't hurt but maybe adding a speed buff going from the base through the gate, and a slow debut going from outside the base inside.

Edit: After 2 AMAZING opinions I'm changing the idea a bit! Changed.

gates are great for junglers to get to camps slightly faster and actually attempt to be on par with lanes for gold/xp

it doesnt help much but its something

It's great for solo queue comebacks. which is riot's attempt at fighting back against their self-made snowball meta with this dragon buff. Everything you pointed out are intended and not exploitable unless you're doing incredibly stupid things like spamming emotes at the mid lane inhib tower when only 1-2 kills (or less than 1k gold) ahead. Essentially throwing.

I think they fight mobility champions and bad sportsmanship. You won't have a Leblanc /Fizz /Lucian /RekSai /Azir /etc. spamming taunt in your base before recalling, only to dash over that wall because they know your team's Garen can't do anything about it. It gives champions without a dash a way to fight back in that chunk of base.
