User blog comment:Hidden Sniper/An interesting thread about last hit mechanics among other things and changing them/@comment-1445357-20120127093633

An interesting read, but holy shit. If a team dominates an earlygame and hyperpushes, they'll just end up snowballing and there's pretty much nothing the enemy team can do to stop them. since the passive gold income increase and gold multiplier from farming minions in enemy territory will just get them so fed without even trying.
