only the team being ahead in gold should give shutdown gold

if we did this, comebacks would really be more achievable, like why the fuck when you get fed on the losing team do you give even more gold to the enemy being already fed?

Because riot explained that the gold bounty situation is supposed to affect both parties. For the losing side, if they're able to play safe capture the targets they can stall a little more and have more comeback potential. And those that are ahead and have a decided game to close out faster without having to do the baron dance. It isn't just supposed to be beneficial to the losing team. What you're proposing is that the enemy team be punished for being better.

I wish the game was less snowbally and champion gold just in general scaled per minutes to at least help with faulty matchmaking, but if riot is going with this sort of gold concept then I agree it should be beneficial to both parties.

it would revert if the losing team end up getting ahead so both teams could comeback

Then what happens when one team is lower in gold but winning the game? Or more commonly, most of the behind team is doing poorly, but one member is doing the best in the game. Now the single super fed member doesn't give any gold despite being the strongest person in the game.

though it shouldnt matter so much since the rest of enemies are fed in this case, but the point would be anyway to ease comeback and most of the time the team behind in gold isnt winning
