One of yesterday's matches was a great showcase of that.
- K'Sante is the only player with a bounty here. He's NOT ahead of his opponent (-174g). His entire team is very behind, down by 4K gold, 2 turrets and 6 void grubs (!) at 17 minutes.
- Meanwhile... Vi is up 1.6K gold over her opponent and hasn't died yet? No bounty.
- Azir is up 1.1K gold with no deaths? No bounty.
- Even Braum is up 840 gold, hasn't died yet and doesn't have a bounty.
How many times does Riot need to work on bounties before they stop doing the complete opposite of what they're meant to do? Here, they're literally a snowball mechanic instead of a comeback mechanic. This really needs to be addressed.
There's a change coming soon that will remove bounties from the losing team when objective bounties are up, but it won't fix anything in cases like this match here.
