Buying Starting items during hero selection.

[Saionide]

Because there's really nothing else better to do while waiting for everyone else to select their heroes or someone waits 2 minutes before hitting ready.

It would be better so that people can see whether or not someone is going to buy wards or chicken. It's annoying when 2 people buy chickens imo.

Gold values would be hidden from other team...

How to implement: While in loading screen have a queue of items that would want to be purchased when the game starts. Then the hero will purchase those items upon joining the match.

Example due to poor explanation: normal mode -bd/rd/sd etc

Starting gold: 603
Queue to buy in order:
-monkey courier (200 g)
-2 minor totems (106g)
-1 healing pot (100g)
-1 set of tree eaters (90)
-3 clarities (150 g)
-portal key (2150g)

The hero would buy everything in that queue until player is out of gold, so the hero would have 2 clarities instead of 3.

The queue is implemented just in case someone decides to repick their -ar hero and have less tarting gold.

This would allow more time to run to the runes and gank or better yet lvl 1 kongor.

And im also tired of hitting b, q, z, e, ect.

I don't think it's a good idea personally, as what happens if you set up your queue based on what character you think you are going to pick, but then someone else picks that character instead, just seconds before the countdown finishes? Also, there's plenty of time once the game starts to buy everything, I usually stand around waiting for the game to begin I have so much time to buy, place wards etc.

the queue isnt set in stone, you would be able to rearrange/edit it.

Absolutely not,
This will leads to mistake due to:
- Other hero pick
- Multiply monkey buy
- Line position
- Forest farming;
- and so on.

ahh i see the problem now, forgot to mention that the queue list would be visible to other allies.

I don't think it's neccesary, but it's not a bad idea.

Those who don't want to use it can just simply.. not use it.

Those who want to use it has the advantage of confirming the team that he/she is buying chic/ward, ring of the teacher for lane synergy or whtever.

if you're all so afraid of the 'mistake', last minute change, we can just have a confirmation pop-up when the game start to confirm that you want to buy what you queqed.
