what if we got partial gold for getting someone to within 50 hp?

you know those games where you had like 3 times where you barely got a kill? but instead were denied. You really needed those just to stay in the game.

just a thought.

50 gold instantly. if you do kill them wouldn't stack of course.

exception would be like kindred and trynd while ulting.

Look, if you almost kill somebody multiple times and they barely escaped, then you screwed up at some point(s) in the process.

Learn from your mistakes.

I see this often. I am support, I am leaving the kill for my adc. The opposing champ is 10hp from dying, but my adc just isn't going to get it so I last hit to just kill the bugger and get flamed for taking the kill. I am not leaving the plate with food just for it to go bad. If you want it, eat it!

Exactly.

Quite frankly, I don't care who gets the kill so long as the enemy dies and we can benefit from it.

While it might be more optimal for a carry to get the gold than a tank or support in many cases, it is far less optimal to let the enemy escape trying to give it to them.

Take the kill and help your team with the gold.

So you want to be rewarded, for failing?

Would be better to just buff summoner 14

I think it would be more be spectator friendly as it would encourage more action due to slightly less penalty for taking risks. More 1v1s. Maybe even give 100 gold when you have no allies involved. Would play pretty big factor in early game.

Would help with comebacks. Also would reward more incentives to trade. When you go in with a close estimate of how much damage you can make but come just shy.

Overall it would still reward effort more than failure. And the reward is sized appropriately. Its not that big

It encouraging people to feel more comfortable with testing limits.

Also should specify that there would be a 60 second cooldown on this.

you don't get points in football if you almost catch the ball in the end zone. You get them all for success, or none for failure.

In football your opponent does not get stronger every time they make a touchdown either. So the punishment is even greater especially early game in league.

In footbaal you can go for the riskier two points after a touchdown instead of field goal. If there was something similar to that. Though not sure how that would be implemented.

You can also try for an onside kick, which is quite a desperation move. There are doran items and cull for this. There's also mejais which is usually used on champions that can still be useful from a safe distance like lux xerath.. Though you can try it if from behind. For most part things help extend your lead in lol There's also touchback when you get them to back into their own endzone.

You can make an enemy lose yardage with good tackle its not just forward play.

Baseball foul = strike but if you're on your second strike its a foul instead. I think this is a good comparison. It says you can hit the ball your on the right track. You swung and had a pretty damn good calculation versus a heck of a good pitcher. In other words you Didn't blinkEkko, shouldn't this be rewarded?

And to be fair would it really ruin football if say every team got 1point for being withing 5yards of endzone, a point that would be included in touchdown? Probably have closer nailbiting games on your hand. If you could do so on first down get like 2 points guaranteed only received once the ball changes sides or included in touchdown. Or even denied if intercepted. I think would be a cool twist.
