Because yeah, that's basically what DotA is about.  Getting more gold than the enemy to have better items so that you can take on the whole team yourself.

I wish it was more about using teamwork and tactics to put the whole team on respawn so you can wreck their base.

I know it's a "reward" for getting better control of the map and farming better, but the gap can be extremely rediculous.

How many levels are there? Not maps, actual levels where you need to defeat foes in campaign mode?

Anyways, team effects sound good to me. Better than one person dominating everything. (Unless that's me, of course.)

Yeah, but the better player already has the bonus of being a better player.  They don't need 3X gold ontop of that.

I'm not saying they SHOULDN'T get a bonus.  Thats' what drives people to kill people, and in Demgiods case I suppose take the objectives, so they can win easier.  It's just the difference between the best player in a DotA game and worst player in it.. well that can be the best player easily killing the entire team of 5 people at at the same time while not even taking 25% damage.  It's too extreme in that regard.  I'm not saying there should be no disparity, i'm just saying DotA's is very extreme.

In Quake or UT you have the case where someone takes on 5 people at once because they are very very skilled, while they're weapons, health, etc, are even.(save for good map control giving you the health ups. But that doesn't make much difference.)

That's what I don't like about DotA*shrugs*

I agree, making your creep waves bigger would be better than decreasing repawn time, most likely.

Don't be so shy.

I was proposing an alternative, but my grammar sucked. Sorry. The problem with pushing their waves further apart is that depending on the implementation of the UI, the other team may not easily be able to tell if they have been hit with this kind of thing. If they have a timer, then that's fine, but otherwise, it's better to have that sort of effect only affect the team that buys it, because they know about it. It would be rather unpopular to have peoples' wave respawn slow down unexpectedly, and would probably chase people away.

that was my idea on GPGnet forums like months ago basically!

When stardock became publisher i posted something like "Well since stardock is probably going to make you have a campaign now.. heres an idea"   Basically saying have a simple mini-campaign type thing for each Demigod to sort of give their backstory and explain em.

Sounds cool

Regarding ressurection times vs. creep wave sizes, etc. We'll do whatever we find to be the most satisfying in Beta. Now, as for increasing other players ressurection timers ... not a big fan, simply because waiting to ressurect can be very, very painful at high levels.

Yeah, but the same time, if you can lower it to me..  At least in DotA it's all about killing most/all of the team to put them in respawn so you can destroy their base.  Then again, that's DotA.
