GP Barrels and the gold reward they grant to an enemy

Personally, I feel like GP's barrels should not reward 10 gold, but rather a value of 5 or so.

If you look at Heimerdinger's turrets, if I remember correctly they grant 12 gold on destruction. Zyra's plants reward 5 gold,if I am not mistaken, and the same for Shaco's boxes.

Meanwhile, GP's new barrels reward 10 GP, and require 1 auto attack to destroy. You can also spam them out much faster than any other "turret" champion. I personally feel like this is extremely silly, considering if you are against a ranged champion, they can attack it faster than you can parrrley.

i think you should have to destroy them in the explosion radius to get the gold at a minimum, it's an absolute joke vs a ranged.

the barrel move in GENERAL ruined gangplank. used to be a simple and fun character. they went all ZOMG let's make mr "minigame" barrelmaster HUHUH. if riot wanted to make donkeykong a character they could have made a new one instead of streamrolling over an old one. if this is the pirate "king" Id rather have the henchman back

I love the barrel game but it should work like this:

Destroyed by a RANGED enemy = 5 gold Destroyed by a melee enemy = 15 gold

Any enemy gutsy enough to walk up to the barrel (and GP can shoot them) deserves the 15 gold. But I just played as Teemo and those barrels were a joke.

yea its a joke for ranged champs but like 70% of top lane champs don't have ranged autos. The barrels are stupid op vs melee champs. Just stack 2-3 on top of you and they can't even think about attacking you
