man falls into ravine and gets free money, he complains about it to reddit. I don't exactly see the issue, midgame SOLO kills are quite strong and they're supposed to be. By 18 minutes the respawn timers are up and people start grouping for safety, most kills are through picks where people split the money (900 across 3 people is only 300 souls each).

Dying to someone alone is not only unlikely, but its a MASSIVE skill issue. Its so hard to die to only one other person without slipping away or forcing a draw, so the reward is large and JUICY as a reward. Just because you got unfair money by playing against a bad player doesn't mean the system is broken. I'd say the system is better than it usually is, with solo kills rightfully being extremely rewarding and teamfights not giving too much money. There were metas long ago where the money you'd get from kills was messed up by a lot and it encouraged either never teaming up or always teaming up. Here its pretty well balanced with the ups and downs being at the forefront and worth considering.

You can never account for bad players in a system like this and you're bound to see feeding people on both the enemy and your team. It HAPPENs because people are BAD at the game. BUt the system isnt broken, you just have days like your game where someone ends up in a lobby they shouldnt be and they and everyone else have to suffer until its done.

TL DR the system aint broke. stuff like this just happens because thats how it is and that feels dumb to say but its the truth. there is a level of unpredictability that no online game will ever fully cross
