Red team is down a total of 4.5k gold, 6 grubs and a tower. Malphite has the LEAST AMOUNT OF GOLD IN THE GAME. Behind BOTH support even.

Yet somehow despite being behind in EVERY metric, Malphite has a bounty....is it JUST because he hasn't died?....like does that REALLY warrant a bounty? Not a single plate taken for him and naafiri only got her bounty moved from 150g to 300 about 1 minute prior to this...

Yes yes, I know that bounties are supposed to be "fixed" next patch but we already had a "fix" 1.5 months ago and things are just as bad.

Yeah, it's just because he hasn't died. Gold from assists and csing increases bounty. And dying is the only way it goes down. Difference in gold between individual players has absolutely no bearing.

In the old system, the team that's behind in gold would have their bounties reduced. For some reason, the rework changed that to happen only when objective bounties are active.

The way bounties work is pretty well documented in the wiki

The old system did not have bounty suppression at all. The new one does. The tuning has just been very mild. The rest of this post is accurate.
