Hi guys i really hate how snowbally the game has become, I think a big reason is the gold the tower shields give, the shields were put there to slow the game down, but all it accomplished is the opposite because it creates big gold leads, first tower can give 1040 gold (0.0). They should keep the shields and remove the time on them. So the shields stay active after 14:00 minutes till they are completely removed.
The reason why plating gives gold is actually to reduce the effect of team-wide snowball(the "deathball" meta) If a botlane gets a gank and win 3v2, sure, they will get 1-2 plates(2 plates give 320 gold total, which is less than a kill gold+2 assists) but the armor on tower will prevent them from destroying that tower fast. Also, by taking plates, they are wasting time they could use to take drake(that, in my opinion, is worth much more than 320 gold), roam mid or just recall. If they win lane, they can't really go roam because their enemies will just take their plates instead. The idea is that winning a lane is just winning a lane, the winner cant just go win all other lanes. This makes lanephase a bit longer, with more chances to comeback, either by outplaying or with a jungler's help. Remove it, and there will be no point in staying on your lane, and slightly winning team will just group as 5 to run over objectives without anything losing team can do
So early game champions are bad ok. The point of them is so towers don't get taken early but early game champions still get a reward. Also if someone is getting all the gold from a tower YOU'RE afk like that is very hard to do.
Your post is basically just " I don't want to learn how to lane give me a free lane"

The idea was to slow early tower takes from a single gank, but still accelerate the game overall, so it's kind of working as intended, that's why they fall off at 14:00 minutes. That's where Riot thinks that lane phase should arbitrarily end to keep game time down overall, and make the snowball from 1-2 early plays not seem as hard to average players. It's somewhat of a placebo effect so they don't just FF at the first opportunity as often. They keep making changes that counter the effect though.
They already nerfed it yesterday. From 140 to 120? idk.
If they remove gold then nobody would bother pushing for them. Everyone would just wait for them to fall off since there is no reward and no incentive to get rid of them. People would just roam nonstop and counter jungle and/or gank other lanes nonstop.
i agree. they shouldn't give gold and shouldn't fall off after a specific time. and it should actually be a shield, separate from the towers own Health.
