A way to maintain kill rewards while reducing snowball

Hi all,

Like many other I am slowly drifting away from the game for one main reason: Hard Snowball. Whether it's the fact that my game is lost because the enemy ADC is 10/0 at 20min, or that I gave my laner 2 kills early and now I can't even play my lane anymore, games feel lost too soon and it's frustrating.

Here is a simple suggestion to help reduce hard early snowball **while still making outplays rewarding **in the long run.

The basic idea is to grant kill gold over a period of time. So instead of getting 300 gold immediately, maybe get 50 right now, and an additional 250 over the next 10 minutes.

This way, the enemy is still rewarded for the kill. He will get the gold, but it gives the you a window to come back. It would end those situations where you can't even go back to your lane because you gave kills early. When you guys get back to lane, you're still pretty much even.

There are plenty of tweaks to be worked on, for example gradually decreasing time window: Kill gold earned over 10min for kills at game start. The more time passes, the faster you get the gold, until Kill gold earned over 1min for kills after the 30min mark.

What do you guys think?
