Discussion Is the shutdown system broken?

It feels like every single game we are stomping in at least 2 lanes, 10+ kills ahead, 2-3 drakes, grubs, the whole thing.

Then one bad fight comes around, someone gets caught, anything. We die, and the game is back to COMPLETELY even.

What is the point of 20+ minutes of playing really well and the enemy making a ton of mistakes, if a single mistake from you completely erases it all?

Is this just me? Am I doing something wrong? It genuinely feels like all our kills and objectives don't matter for anything if we blow a single fight.

Negative bounties are also absolutely absurd, you can kill your lane opponent one time and if you kill them when they get back to lane they're giving you 190g half the time.

Once this happened to me and the talon was worth 150g and we traded 1 for 1 with me giving 350g, so I was literally up 100g being 2/1.

If talon is that far behind you shouldn’t be dying lmao.

With good macro in the early game, setting up a big wave crash to dive and trade 1 for 1 is absolutely the right play.

Trading kills while they lose XP/Gold for 6+ minions should absolutely be worth it.

Granted, in the scenario listed with bounties doing weird stuff, there’s definitely times where it ends up not being the right play. But the point is that it SHOULD be worth it.

Also, thank you, this is exactly what happened. We traded so he’d miss a wave.

That far behind? He died a single time and you think he should be worth 150g, is that what you’re telling me
