Assist gold and wards in General Discussion
Rocket

    I know it shouldn't be needed but the pub experience would be enriched if the purchaser of a ward got 50 assist gold for every hero kill that happens in vision of it. Same for if an invis hero is killed - the sentry/dust purchaser gets 50 gold.

    Maybe only needed for normal skill games ;-)

        Seriously? That's your complaint? Wouldn't be that hard to take 50 gold from the assist gold paid from a kill and give it to a different hero. i think you need to have more confidence in valve ;)

          i had a rather long post explaining why is it stupid but i got bored in the middle

          just.. pls no.

          matrice

            so i drop 1 sentry in fight against potm, (100gold) to get +250. Mmm seems interesting, especially if all the team do so. a Wut +750 gold for no reason

              Wouldn't improve or balance the game. Being poor is just a part of being a support.

                ok it wasn't a serious suggestion...

                but matrice - that's just details - it could easily be balanced like a fixed amountsplit between whoever placed the vision.

                and milnor - by that logic there shouldn't be any assist gold for kills either.

                  Looks like a good suggestion in normal skill pub games where any safe place to farm already being farmed by cores. It is a struggle to get even a force staff or glimmer cape over boots and keep the wards coming.

                  But if you are playing as a team and splitting the farm correct (normal or high skill), this just looks like supports getting unwanted gold that would be more effective with a carry.

                    Supports are in a good spot right now. Dewarding gives some gold back, tps only cost 75 gold, courier is only 120 gold and if you're at the bottom of the net worth you get a lot of gold from assist kills to help out your poverty. The only thing missing is dust and sentry ward prices being lowered a bit (glimmer capes and silver edges have become very common since introduced so truesight detection needs a buff since you'll be buying more of it than in the past).

                    Putting more bonus gold for assist golds is not the best way to buff supports since it can promote picking too greedy lineups since you get gold much easier. If you want to buff supports that way it is better to make gold harder to obtain for the cores, so supports become a lot more needed.

                      I'd expect assist gold to be scaled so supports got less if they were getting money from vision - i'm not looking to buff support gold - just dreaming of a game where you get more than a rune ward at the start of the game....
