Considering the AI is a friggin retard and I always feel bad for rage quiting when things are going obviously bad. Lately ive realized I can just sell all my gear as last time effort and upgrade my citadel. In one game I racked in some 15000 and managed to upgrade to giants all by myself. I lost the game due the idiot AI, but I was suprised I managed to stay alive for another 20 minutes, untill a cordinated double lock down of my portals finaly ended my reign of terror.

Ive been trying a similar tactic on early games which are going bad (etc finding yourself fighting an obvious voicechat Premade or being stuck with someone on your team that dies more often than a red shirt in Star Trek) and suprisingly you can actually recover your items back fairly fast. Since you get almost all your money back for selling something, your basicly just exchanging your gear for citadel upgrades. You obviously lose some gold in the exchange, but its nothing compared to the money your giving away to the other team from just ONE death. For those of you new to Demigod, dying is the absolute worst thing you could possibly do to your own team. If you find yourself in a game where your constantly dying, calm down for a couple seconds, check your citadel and see if theres anything you can upgrade there. Then hang around some of the better players in your team and earn some assist and youll have your gear back in no time and actually learn something.

Id especially highly recommend selling ANYTHING to get the Gold income upgrade exactly when you hit rank 3. Theres no point in having good gear if you still get killed by the other side.  Just do your team a favour and pawn your items and upgrade the citadel!
