Title. I’ve seen a ton of clips from pro play where people give away their position from couriers flying around (through wards, smoke, etc).
I understand that losing a courier is expensive (feeds gold, death timer) but I’d figure that late game, when 1 good fight can decide the game, why are there not random couriers flying around to try mislead opponent read on positions? Or has this been happening without me noticing?
In high level plays the opponent should just kill it or won’t bother with it. The strategies that rely on the opponent to make mistakes are often bad. However it can be used for vision if you have no other options.
