PINGPINGPINGPINGPING (No really, go away)
4)Flying the courier up mid lane and getting it killed
5)Walking the courier to bot lane instead of walking 2 feet to the shop

"Hey, I need money for an item!" (Oh really? I need money to buy flowers and candy!)

1) Sometimes, people are kinda selfish, but thats okay as long as they do that solo mid alright. The worst kind of people are those who ping you away to lose all towers and barracks in 7 minutes.
2) "If you need gold - then try and take it!" - there is nothing more you can tell them.
3) If my pick is team based, like, If I'm a STR tank, I stick to squishy, no-aoe heroes. Most of the time, its the best tactics. Even if people are trying to ping you away, they'll call you back, once they meet the first creep wave.
4) Bosses love courier hunting. I lost like 5 couriers this way.
5) I do that stupid thing to, but only if my bot situation makes me nervous, so I can't really leave my lane to even visit that nearby shop.

1) I never let anyone solo a lane, unless a) its top lane, or b) we are 4 players or less.
4) It happens every game. I promise. Just now, as we were killing the throne in my Ember game (see other thread), the Alchemist was trying to fly his King's Rapier (!!!!!!!!) all the way up mid lane.... and failed. For the second time that game. First time I saved the courier.
5) You can leave your lane, if you have a blink dagger. If you don't, then that's just bad decision making. :P

when i solo top i usually dont stay in lane for every single wave.(by wave i dont mean when different creeps come) ill sometimes skip out on one to farm a jungle camp or 2, its more gold and exp than i would get top and the tower has hp regen.
