So when are we going to get rid of CS bounties?

Enjoy having a 450 gold bounty 4 minutes into the game for going 0/0/0 with 32 cs as the jungler while enemy jungler is 16 cs and ganked more than me. And you wonder why junglers only gank when farming is being punished.

Having a CS lead means constantly outplayed your opponent throughout the laning phase or making some sort of trade off being farming and roaming/ganking. Now people people don't even try to farm because getting a 1 for 1 kill trade and getting their bounty completely nullifies any cs lead they have. This encourages people to play assassins when they farm poorly and there is a higher death count in solo queue.

The same time they get rid of bounties for kills. Riot's stance on CS is now that 'advantages are advantages' If you are farming faster than their entire team on average (it's not role specific. they've been quite clear). shutting you down is helpful. CS has been included in bounties for a long time now actually. People just don't realize it. For instance, if you're 0/10, and then take 1000 farm since your last death, you're worth 300g again.

Could the system use tuning? Probably. I however agree that if you're farming way faster than the avg on the opponents team, you're getting what is equivalent to kills, and should be worth something.

Kills aren't all there is to league.

I have to disagree. I was in a game today and received a 450g bounty for being 0/0/0 lane, no plates taken and the enemy laner was 10+ Cs up on me. Screw this bounty system.
