Just a Thought to Reduce the Snowball.

You know Winions (super Minions) are pretty hard to kill, and I've always wondered why they are worth so little Gold?

Seriously a Siege minion is worth 40 and they go down really easily, so why is it that a minion that is REALLY hard to kill (arguably stronger than the large Jungle Monsters in Jg) only worth a measely 50 gold? just +10 gold? for a minion that can actually 1 v 1 a champ?

This Meta is designed around snowballing so i had a quick thought

what if the Winions were worth somewhere between 80-100 Gold a piece, in exchange for a slight health and damage buff?

This essentially means that if you dont take advantage of your enemies Inhibs being down, they have a much easier time returning to the game... while at the same time harder hitting minions are fairly hard to kill and if not careful can wreck a base like nobody's business. and encourages pushing in more if you already have an advantage - or suffer the consequences.

I think it helps both teams in it's own way. and with how easy it is to snowball in this preseason meta, i don't particularly see a reason why not to

Thoughts?

and yes i said THOUGHTS. As in why would or would it not work, not just a bland down-vote It's an idea to generate discussion, that is all.

Sadly i feel that if the gold the super minions give is increased it may put the other team ahead since they get one extra minion a wave in exchange for a re spawning inhibitor.

Naturally a few other things would have to be tweaked but i personally feel like it's not even worth the time to kill them aside from "holy shiit our base is getting attacked"

again this is just a thought.

How is a siege minion just as hard as a large jungle mob?

Snowballing has already taken a lot of hits. It's a lot harder to snowball these days than in seasons past. Do we need more snowball reduction?

I ask this genuinely, not sarcastically. I'm tired and about to head to work, so can't look up the numbers myself. So I ask, how bad is snowballing these days, in numbers, not opinions.
