I’m kinda new to dota, but i noticed that if a player leaves then teammates gets the money instead of him. In these cases almost always the team with the leaver wins.

Is this unbalanced? What to do in these kind of situations?

    You can generate more money by making a single last hit per minute than a leaver gives you passively

    It’s worth noting that a leaver has the biggest impact on the game when they leave, and that impact is larger the longer the game has gone on until that point, because that hero has also gained gold in other ways. When they abandon and all that accrued gold gets split among the team, that’s a potentially very big power spike. Depending on when it happens and how useful the leaver was, it can easily tip the balance.

      That’s actually not true at all. If a hero has 10k net worth, those 10k are not split between all remaining players - you first have to sell those 10k in items the hero has, which loses half the value (so 5k in this example). Which means at the instant the leaver leaves, you immediately at least lose half their net worth, in this example that means a net worth swing of 5k in favor of the team without a leaver.

      There’s just simply no situation where having a leaver is an advantage, even for a short period. (Except of course if the player was actually having negative impact through griefing or similar, which would remove their negative impact… this might actually not be too rare…)
