The Gold Plates were supposed to help. They don't. (Go read the patch notes for when Tower Gold Plates were implemented. This is the stated purpose for them. Everybody forgets this, but this is the reason why they were added.) (Or else they would simply have made the towers stronger.) Monster Hunter was supposed to help. It doesn't. Not allowing JG item + Support item, doesn't help. Changing the support item, didn't stop it. Why do they keep the changes that don't work? ... I don't understand how Monster Hunter was even SUPPOSED to stop it. As long as there is an item that lets one player farm and give gold to another, then that is issue, I think. And they change everything else BUT that. For whatever reason.

What they could do, easy, is change MONSTER HUNTER TO ONLY APPLY TO SPOILS OF WAR PROCS. And then it would be good. And then they could reverse everything else, I think.

"how is losing 60 gold per minion wave, an entire kills worth every 2.5 minutes, supposed to nerf a gold funneling strategy???"

Tower plating was supposed to stall out the early game and generate more gold/more gains from winning a lane. Prior seasons, if you won lane 6/2/1 and your 1/7/1 opponent never got to damage your tower, but you only did 3000 damage to theirs before rotating and grouping, it didn't matter that tower had only 300 HP left. Now, getting the tower to extremely low HP values directly rewards you for winning lane. It has nothing to do with funnels.
