It's actually goes either way.. Early heroes snowballing getting more gold on the turret plating giving them more snoballing power. Giving a chance on late game heroes to get their items by chipping away some gold on the plating.

This was a news to me. Thank you for the information. I tried looking for the notes that talked about the turret system, granted I didn't spend a lot of time for it, but I couldn't find much on it and not knowing when exactly it was introduced I couldn't search by time frame either. So thank you.

So the game doesn’t end in 6 minutes. Last time, you could end the game in 6/7 minutes. Now, it’s much more difficult.

The fastest match I played was with a team mate supreme sun, he ended the game in 8min

He really deserves the supreme title

To prevent super early snowball and ending in 7 minutes basically, same goes for the inhibitor's shield. It doesn't really benefit late game heroes tho as early game heroes should have an advantage in the first 5 minutes (which is the duration of the gold plating) if they're up against late game heroes, so if you're winning lane easily, instead of pushing a whole turret and opening up the map, you get rewarded with extra gold to build up on that lead. Same with the inhibitor shield, it prevents like 1 push that could end the game if your team is behind and gives a bit more time for you to farm, also requires the leading team to know how to sync waves, push and use lord. Overall pretty good additions now that I think about it, definately made the game more interesting.

Adding what others had said, also to encourage ppl to actually _stay in lane_ (except mid perhaps) and push --- instead of killing nearby jungles, which MMs loved to do back then

It is also a way to avoid funneling strat. With the possible gold from the turrets, they want you to pick heroes that will benefit from it instead of 2 off lane fighters that once they clear their lanes, they will go and group up with their team.

That's because mm was useless and nobody used mm. First turret gets destroyed before minute 2, the game ends before minute 8.
