Courier share issue
« on: April 16, 2010, 23:36 »
I don't know about other players but I'm using courier very often
to send mana and healing potions as well as refilling bottle.
Its a great advantage cause you can stay in fight with no loss on experience and creeps.
I often play with a friend of maine and he also using it often. For just us two - courier is busy most of the time, so I'm not sharing it with noone else.
If I'm playing public game alone, I often say at beginning: "I can give share if someone make bird".
Usually I get response: "I'll make bird" so I'm giving share to him.
If noone responds I'm saying: "just don't ask later".

I'm loosing 200 gold at beginning so I have poor start items,
later I'm making bird ASAP and people DEMAND share!
Is my name Santa Klaus?

I do understand that in professional Dota games like the ones played on www.gosugamers.net/dota there is a rule
that one (support) person buy chicken, bird, wards and give share to whole team. On playdota.eu however it is not the case.

I've lost count of how many times my courier died cause someone send him under enemy tower or heroes.
But the worst of all things is that people control your hero! Its happening to me that often that it's almost ridiculous!
And I'm sharing it only with one person... Can't imagine sharing it with whole team.
I get vote kicked few times for not sharing the bird! sick! >:(

If I make a courier it is only My decision whether I want to share it or not.
But greedy players demand it for free even at late stage of the game when 200 gold is practically no money.

I never share to people i don't know or that are shit players, i even tell them to go fuck themselves when they ask...i never get kicked lol.

I only get pissed off when friends/knowns use my chicken before buying a bird, i hate to see my chicken walking into battle.

I remember this one time(on garena), a game 5 vs 5. So like a good guy I bought carrier and shared it and few seconds later I noticed someone sold 2 items from my inventory. Naturally I was upset and I asked... Why the fuck did you do that? And the dude just says: "Lol srry".

So yeah I understand your pain and frustration but they are your teammates. You just have to be careful who are you giving share to. Now I only give share to people who ask nicely and they are careful.

Oh and there are those who complain about your recent death, but since he can't see the obvious that you spend 400 gold on the carrier and therefore you lack the items necessary to survive,support and buy healing mana potions.

Conclusion?

People are stupid.

And I have nothing better to do.

I always buy pet and I always share to all. Supports and nookers should  buy pet, heroes who dont need gold to be useful.

They should buy it, but they don't... (in public games)

Sometimes I give share to whole team, sometimes I do not (depends on my mood) !
We do not have rules about the chick but we have the rules for shared control abuse
The only solution here is that you host your own game (if you are getting kicked);
Do not give share;
If they try to kick you you can !votecancel;
That is all!

If he is game owner, they can't start votekick, so !votecancel on himself is imposible.
