My Problem With the New Shutdown System

This video is a perfect example of the problem with the new shutdown system. Anybody who is fed can instantly become useless if they die just two times. Anyone who is 0/5 can start 1v9ing the game if they get even 1 kill. Say you are playing as a LucianLucian adc and it is 15 minutes into the game. You are against a TristanaTristana and you have been stomping her the entire game. You are 5/0, and the Tristana is 0/5. If the jungler or midlaner comes botlane, they can 2v3 you and get 2000 gold. Say Tristana gets both of these kills, which she probably will if they are playing properly. You, Lucian, are completely out of the game and now Tristana is fed enough to solo anyone on your whole team. This shutdown system rewards people who play poorly. If you have a bad game, you should lose, or at least struggle to win. With this new shutdown system, you can play poorly the whole game early, but 20 minutes in and you get a couple shutdowns, you're fed as fuck and you start carrying the game. That's just my opinion though.

TLDR: The shutdown system rewards people who play poorly and should be fixed.

Let me know your thoughts and opinions. Who knows. Maybe we can even get a petition to get it reverted.

My only real problem with the shut down system is that I can have a 1k gold bounty on my head even when my team is 3k gold behind as a team.

At least adjust my bounty to reflect that I am the ONLY one doing well on my team atm...

the max you can get off of one kill is 1000 gold. and at 5/0 your bounty is only ~800

also unless you picked up a kill during the 2v3 there wont be a bounty to take when you come back to lane.

in my case the shutdown gold never matters, i never get the shutdown gold. while i'm jungling and me and top are doing well together, mid and bot lane have lost us the game and have a combined 20 deaths making it impossible to even kill a single enemy, because me and top lane were building damage most of the early game because of how well we were doing, so now when it comes to a team fight, the enemy one shots our worthless trash cancerous bot lane and mid and then we just get one shot as well because the entire enemy team is so huge.

This has been the case for every loss i've had since season 6, excluding losses where someone forcibly loses on purpose like int suiciding or leaving, of which there were plenty of those too. The shutdown gold only makes it even worse, because the fed enemies kill me or top lane and we are worth shutdown gold and so the fed enemies become even stronger and unstoppable and snowball for a free win and by 20 minutes our base is gone.

I have an adc do well bot lane in 1 of 20 games.
