when you think about it gold bounty does nothing, in fact it might even prevent comebacks

I mean I think on paper a gold bounty is a good idea. But when we look at the real world it doesn't do anything, at least not as effective as others'. If your team is behind, literally one of the only ways to make a comeback, is to at least have 1 person that is ahead. The person who is ahead will also have a big bounty. Then they will be targeted by 3 other players that are almost or just as strong as they are and they enjoy that fat bounty while having that fat bounty themselves. If you kill someone with a big bounty, it does literally nothing if you killed only 1 of them. THere's no way you can 1v1 them if you're so behind. So you'll have to at least 2v1, or sometimes 3v1. Then you'll have to divide that gold bounty and you yourself will probably get like 250 which is still not enough to make a comeback to buy items. While the person who's ahead doesn't care if they are alive or dead because they are already full build, even if 1 person is dead on the enemy side they still stand a chance in a 4v5. Meanwhile the person that is ahead in the team gets hard targetted and put-down by the enemy team and their own team and by giving a big bounty and missing out of being productive they are going to end up useless. So in the end, bounties did literally nothing, turret plating literally made snowballing even harder, and the balance team still doesn't know what to do.
