Crazy idea about team balance.

Hello Everyone.

With Season 4, one of Riots concerns was trying to make the game less "snowbally" although, it turned out that tweaking the first blood gold and dragon gold didn't really work.

That made me think, instead of focusing on the gold income aspect of the game, why not focusing on the items themselves as a whole?

Imagine for a second that all the items, regardless of which one, would have all their stats bonuses nerfed by 20 or 30%. That would lower the impact of items in the game and therefore lower the impact that gold has.

Champion levels would become a little more relevant and the game would be less snowbally.

I can't find a reason why this wouldn't work? What do you guys think?
