Anyone who dies even FOUR times in an entire GAME, without having a 1:1 kill:death ratio or better, was making mistakes. The winner of an RTS game is usually "he who makes less mistakes". 

Also kill aren't everything. I played a 2v2 earlier today, Rook and Regulus vs Rook (me) and Oak. The Oak player fed (3:7 kill:death at the end). I died once (2:1). The enemy Regulus had SEVEN kills. That's around 8k gold. Yet, we still more or less thrashed them. They couldn't break my tower line, and eventually I saved up 14k gold, and bought Angels, Catas and Giants all at once, ending the game in 5 minutes. If kills are so important, why did we win? 

Not using the gold correctly? I can't tell ya, I didnt watch the whole game. I didnt say it was insta-win. I'm commenting on the advantage it gives you. I feel it's too big. If you don't agree, that's fine.

And yes, 4 times before level 8 is pushing it, but it was just an example. Plus once there is a feeder, game ending or not, a lot of people quit. Makes more hateful remakes, and so on.

Well, people make hateful remakes, not the quitters. 

Yeh, I can understand feeders... Though it's kinda funny when a whole team feeds. lol.

I just find the amount of gold you get atm fine. I usually die at most 5 times in a game, and that's pretty terrible play for me (or someone else fed the enemy...). My average deaths per game is probably around 2, which is about 2000 gold, so you can see why I don't find the amount you get a problem. 

At first i felt the gold gain was pretty high, but then there should be risks and rewards.

if the gain is minimal for killing a demigod, who would take the risk and rush into towers to kill one?! No one, and the game would become boring! After all its fun to upgrade stuff, and its not like 2-3 kills makes someone unbeatable, there are reinforcements, towers, teamates who can swing battles even if this guy isnt a good matchup for Your Demi god.

Game is fresh, seems allright, let it be for a month

I was thinking about this a lot whenever I died when I just started playing the game, but recently I've realized we are Demigods and killing one surely isn't easy (or, at least, it shouldn't be, unless played by a clueless one) and should be rewarded properly.

All Demigods are strong. They are not built to die easily. By having a lot of reckless players, there are far more kills in game than I'd ever expect. (We were all newbies at one point.)

From my point of view, this game is about playing carefully - advancing slowly, being careful not to make a mistake and trying to exploit others' weaknesses. When I play against such players, kills are rare, unless one team is pushing real hard. And when does one team push really hard while being successful at the same time? When their team strategy is better in given match.

So, in matches with skillful players, kills are hard to get and they should be rewarded accordingly.

My whole theory is based around fact that, if played carefully, there won't be too much gold in a match from killing other Demigods (until one team is clearly winning, when it's too late for that gold to change anything).

Of course, more often than not, people don't play carefully.

Due to that, I would support getting just a little bit less gold during first couple of levels.

What worries me more is illogical base stats distribution for Demigods. Like, Rook having less armour than Regulus (!) and almost twice as low as Beast's. Just to mention that one. (Some damage and health distribution among Demigods doesn't make sense either.) I'd love that to be fixed first.

Then we can talk about the rest.

Still, I'd like to say the game is more than satisfying. It's great.

I remember reading how they had some difficulty balancing generals with assassins because assassins always seemed better.  With 1k or more gold per kill, it seems to me like it should have been obvious why the generals had difficulty competing.  Since even now I can do a tower pushing build and it will push towers worse than someone who does a DG killing build and gets a four kills in, because that DG ends up so much stronger.

With QoT I usually don't die, but my friend as regulus gets a little...confident with branbleshield when he shouldnt

And yeah, the gold isnt a problem, but I'm seeing it from the point of view where you dont die. It just feels like after you get 3 kills, it becomes...really easy to win. 

There is less feeding and more denying in higher skill level paly.  Both effects gold.
