Please stop allowing bottom lane to irrevocably lose the game for their entire team by 10 minutes

Winning this lane generates way too much gold, given how easily it's won or lost, and how little influence everyone else has over it.

I'd say 80% of my ranked games are over within 10 minutes because one side's bottom lane is feeding. There are virtually never games where both sides are close, because it only takes one of two players playing poorly for the lane to be lost. The other player's skill is irrelevant.

It's even worse when you consider that it's twice as likely to be auto-filled.

Please fix this, preferably by changing how kill gold is distributed, or aggressively reducing gold for consecutive kills on the same person within a short time period (which would coincidentally help to mitigate issues with the jungle camping top).

Oh boy, auto-filled support. Guess we'll just lose the game because the enemy bottom lane is the same level as our solo lanes and thousands of gold ahead.

I tried to roam to stop this from happening at level 5 and level 7. It was fully warded both times, and then it was too risky and would have had to give up plates to keep trying. There was literally nothing I could do but sit AFK at mid and wait for bottom lane to rotate their thousands of gold advantage to my lane.

The jungle and top doing poorly could have been dealt with, but bottom losing just completely closes the game out. This is dumb. One player should not have this much impact over the outcome.
