Award for killing spawns

I noticed another guy mentioned the same thing over a year ago , but nothing has changed.
I mean its huge to even kill a turret in the swarm of bullets, you desperately go all in for that. What's the point to even try penetrate the base when you get no points for it and end up being a dretch?

Every time this happens I ragequit, the game could last over 1h when it should end in less than 30min. Can someone tell me how many more alpha releases until this have been resolved?

I agree to some extent. We definitely want to reward killing bases, especially critical structures like drills/leeches/spawns/OM/RC, but we also don't want to penalize teams for building forwards either. Perhaps the best way to do this, and something I've been meaning to do for a while now is to scale rewards (momentum and monetary) for killing structures with the distance to the main buildable. ie, forwards give less money/momentum, while structures close to the OM/RC will net much more. What do you think?

It would mean forward bases are more disposable, it can encourage to build them in either way (territory capture is less risky), but in another way by making the territory disposable, it does not encourage to defend it a lot, so in long term it probably discourage the capture despite the short term first impression. In fact, the game is already heavily centralized because of the single point of failure which are RC and OM, I'm not sure we need to increase the centralization more, it's probably strong enough.
