Giving Gold (Gameplay Idea?)

This is my first post so yeah.

Anyway, I had this idea that I felt would be interesting as either a rune or a straight-up mechanic in League of Legends that being what would happen if we were allowed to give players our gold. I know this is basically funneling and stuff like that but I guess in a way this is funneling that everyone has access to now so I guess that balances it out (maybe, maybe not?). There are obviously rules for this because no one wants a Yasuo to have his second item before anyone else can even get their first item.

So here are the rules: You can only give gold once the game reaches past 10-minutes. Each Player can only give 100 gold (still can be changed). You can only give gold to those who are low level, equal level, or/and those who don't have the gold lead in your team (still deciding which one). The team can either give the gold to each other or put 500 gold into one team member, those are your only choices (for now). If the players choose to give each other gold, the cooldown to give gold again will be 5-minutes if they choose to funnel gold to one person the cooldown is doubled ( which is 10-minutes long).

For now, this is the basic idea that can either change or just straight up be a stupid idea for League and should never be a thing. I would like this mechanic to be a thing though (of course I would hur dur dur) but why I would like this mechanic because it makes games less one-sided but one-sided/snowbally games are understandable because League of Legends is a long game (lower elo being about 30-40 minutes long while higher elo is like 20-30 minutes long (these times might be wrong btw)). Plus this mechanic will help your feeding ADC get back on their feet or make your 0/4/0 laners/jungler feel less useless in a game. This would also support team play because the team is gonna ask themselves should they help each other or make one person get closer to finishing or getting an item. Now I look back at it the team is just gonna get back their lost 100 gold... Well, this subjected to change based on what you guys think. Anyway thanks for taking your time and read this idea I just had, I hope you all have a good day and pass your promos or something.

Bye.

This seems like an interesting idea in theory, but I can see it now, players demanding that everyone give them their gold, regardless of whether they can use it. I can see supports not being able to get a single item for themselves without getting abuse for not giving it away.

Sometimes I wish I could give my ADC one of my starting health pots when he catches a root and nearly dies and i'm not catching any fire myself.

It would be a balance nightmare to implement, though.
