HUD suggestion / request
Could we get the ability to see each teams total gold like you can in spectator mode? Would be nice to have this information in general but there are a few specific reasons I would like to see it implemented.
First, by seeing the total gold of both teams, it will probably be less tilting for people in early game as they realise that while yes the feeding insert role here is bad, it's not automatically screwing the entire game just because they gave a couple kills.
Second, you can see as a team that "hmmm, the enemy team collectively has 15,000 more gold than we do, maybe we should ff instead of wasting the next 10 minutes.
And lastly, a general observation of mine. When I spectator games at pretty much any elo, the crisis point / do or die moment for a losing team, comes when they have a gold deficit of 5,000 - 6000 gold. Once that thresh hold has been exceeded, you don't come back unless someone on the enemy team disconnects or something. I've see. Teams hold on for a long time once they hit that 5-6k deficit, but never once have I seen them come back and win the game.
Tl;Dr, having the ability to see both teams gold during a match would result in better informed decisions when it comes to engages, as well as surrender votes.
