Gold Sharing (a more reasonable look at it)
Most of us have seen threads on this topic but they typically seem to be unrealistic requests. I think Gold sharing CAN be a very viable and balanced element (if thinking of this with a Risk VS Reward mindset), and could add a hint more strategy for the losing team. Here's some ideas (these are only suggestions, please adjust or add ideas!)
-
First and foremost - Gold CANNOT be shared until the first 15 minutes of the game have passed. Gold can also ONLY be shared if certain circumstances are met. (for example: you can only share gold if the opposing team's GROSS gold earned totals more than 30% of your own team's gross gold earned, or until more than 50% of the losing team's towers have been lost)
-
Put forth restrictions for gold sharing, such as TIME RESTRICTION, GOLD AMOUNT, and NUMBER OF TIMES ALLOWED PER INTERVAL (Example: Each team can share gold to one of their teammates only ONE TIME per 20 minutes intervals, capped at a MAX of 500g. meaning a team's 20 minute restriction will start when any one of their allies shares gold to his/her teammate)
-
The COST of sharing the gold amount subtracts double that amount from the champion who is giving the gold (sharing 300g will cost whoever shares it 600g.
-
To share gold BOTH champions must be standing within their base camp shop's "buy radius".
My Reasoning and thought behind this: I don' know about you guys but I for one am tired of either..
- a player temporarily DC which costs a lane , or the entire game depending on how long it takes them to reconnect ..
- a toxic, or troll player who intentionally avoids team work or communication because of their toxicity, causing the rest of the team to suffer from it
- or even my own SELF being hard fed to the point that there is no challenge.
I play league for the challenge and risk vs reward play style. I for one would love to see my enemy team get to at least give a bit of gold to their carry to even the odds (granted we are strongly winning against them) so that the game is more fun.
These are only suggestions, and I would love to hear other people's balanced ideas about this kind of a potential league feature.
