League of Legends features a bounty system designed to help teams catch up when behind. If an enemy champion accumulates a significant number of kills without dying, they will gain a 'bounty' on their head. Killing a champion with a bounty provides extra gold to the killer and their assisting teammates. Similarly, 'shutdowns' occur when a champion on a killing spree is finally killed, granting bonus gold. These mechanics encourage focusing high-value targets and can provide crucial gold injections for a struggling team. Always be aware of enemy bounties and prioritize taking them down.
