FIx the awful matchmaking and item drops

Why should anyone who gets a 1 item opener having 2 full items at stage 4 have to face the top 4 people over 4 times? Shit is so bad its insane. You should only be able to get gold from a later creep round 1 time and that's it. Items are way too important in this game to have people not be on the same playing field or at least close.
