[IDEA game change] Gold needs to be spread evenly for assisting kills

In a team game where there is gold to be made from getting enemy kills I believe we should change how the gold is given to players who get assists on getting the kills. I believe the gold acquired by your team should be spread to an evenly split among the players involved in getting that kill. It feels like some of these players who hog all the gold just don't know what to do with it all. To me personally at least, I feel as if the player with all this extra gold have too much to spend and throw it down the toilet. This is a team game after all? Let's have equal income for kills. This will lead to less frustrating games I'm sure of it.

Having a few bad experiences with carries who misspend their gold does not mean the system is broken. Also for a lot of hyper-carries, their early game contribution to kills will be far outweighed by the contribution of those trying to get them fed. This means their late game carry potential is even further delayed if your system was live.

If you mislike how you have seen carries spend their jinglies, then start learning how to play those carry roles yourself. As a support or jungle main (support main myself), getting frustrated with how your carries are performing is one of the hazards of the job. Just like having a support who sucks at peeling for you when you're the botlane carry sometimes sucks.

Perhaps not spread evenly in the sense that the player getting the kill gets an assist level of gold, as generally those carry champions need a much higher amount of gold to sustain their items. Supports like myself don't need as much, nor do other champs who aren't meant to carry. I do believe, however, that gold should be distributed based on participation. If you set up an amazing hook, or delete half their healthbar, or soak all their damage dealt, then you should potentially earn more gold than the teammate who did an auto to get an assist before leaving. And this is coming from someone who lands an auto for the assist before leaving so I don't risk ksing xD
