Love how Riot spent the majority of s8 nerfing tower gold

All the way down to 50 global gold, just to lower snowballing.

Then in s9 they add turret plating which gives several times more gold than early s8 towers ever did...

At least now your enemy laner won't be benefited by how their teammates are doing on the other side of the map.

They didn't want to just nerf tower gold, they wanted to nerf global gold. They want the reward for managing the wave, controlling vision, and outtrading your opponent in lane to be mostly on the person actually playing well, not their teammates. They want to incentive people to stay in their own lane and take risks rather than trying to snowball other lanes.
