So Xel'nath made this post on the EUW forum a while back and it's absolutely FLOODED with replies on how to improve support/jungler gold (NA link). I personally think the following ideas would work wonders at improving jungler/support gold without affecting laners:
Any thoughts or your own suggestions on how support/jungler gold could change?
Smite: Every monster kill grants a stacking buff that increases the value of neutral monsters by 1 gold, stacking up to 15 times. This buff decreases by 1 stack for every minion slain. Note that taxing lanes is still mathematically better for the jungler's wallet than not taxing lanes; this simply prevents laners from taking smite instead of ignite and farming up a storm.Allow the purchase ofNot sure if good idea, on second thought. Explorer's Wards for 45 gold, or decrease the cost of wards by 5 for every ward placed down to a minimum of 50/100 for green/pink wards respectively.- Make GP5 items grant substantially more gold (something like 10-20 gold per 10), but add a 10s cooldown on them triggered by minion/monster kills. This makes them good for supports, acceptable for carnivorous junglers, and useless for laners.
- For consistency: have auras and true sight grant assists (as a side effect, would make Twisted Fate players happy when they reveal a stealthed Rengar or a juking Wukong but get no assist for it).

Alternatively, the big monsters' gold rewards could increase the way their durability does, granting the jungling person a slightly better income each minute, but preventing abuse by making the easier camps that laners could swiftly kill, grant the same.
Do you mean the red/blue buffs? Past the initial clear, buffs are almost universally donated to laners at high elo (If you take blue and leave your mid buffless against an enemy
Regarding a gold income, maybe a passive effect from an item that grants you few G's each time you are near a dying unit that you've not last-hitted? Different versions of pickpocket mastery would also make me happy.
Regarding the jungler's gold income, maybe equiping smite could grant you passive gold/5 by a small amount? Would this be too abusable by laners? Alternatively, the big monsters' gold rewards could increase the way their durability does, granting the jungling person a slightly better income each minute, but preventing abuse by making the easier camps that laners could swiftly kill, grant the same.
If given the choice, most people would invest in damage instead of a Sightstone.
You can't gank for your liners if they're dead.
Imagine a Leblanc support, with farm.
Unique Passive: Grants Gold whenever a nearby ally slays an enemy minion.
Every support rushes it now, so why not?
Or even maybe:
Philo Stone + Ruby Sightstone + 100g
GP10 + Above passive + Regen
(For luls) Every active Ghost Ward increases gold gain by 1
Would give a support a steady flow of income just by being near their ADC like a good support.
This has probably been mentioned though :/
Probably a silly idea, but it seems to work in smite, but then the gold from creeps there is far lower, iirc
