Should Herald have the old dragon effect of giving team gold?

Herald is in need of a rework and so I was wondering what if it gave the old dragon effect of giving team gold.

If enemy ganks bot, you can call on your top to do herald and so even when your bot gets double killed and loses tower, you can get team gold that will reduce the effect of snowballing as both teams are more even.

It also makes top lane ganking more desirable to get the team gold afterwards.

It gives meaningful decisions instead of a one for one objective trade off that riot feared. do i get an early game boost from RH or the late game benefits that drake provides?

It is unlikely that a single team will have complete control over both objectives. if they did a 4 man dive on bot, you got the time and safety of doing RH. If one team does have complete control on both by the 20 min mark, you are probably going to lose anyway.

Finally it does shorten games. If both teams reach full build faster, objectives taken quicker as well.

Problem is that if both teams reach max build faster, late game champs like jax and xin might get harder to deal with and early game champs fall off faster.

Thoughts?

Herald's bounty is pretty hefty already though, of course its reward isn't global but for the jungler it's a huge gold gain, I was surprised to see in one of my games that doing herald gave my team the gold lead after being behind by quite a bit of gold :S

I'm very wrong about herald's bounty mechanic, apparently it is global, specifically 50 for every player, as for how it helped one of my team with the gold lead... I have no clue
