Can we add loot drop in hots? coins, turrets, medical that can be dropped for your mate to use or pay in?

He means drop items and things that count towards objectives.

I.E. you could drop a turret for an ally to pick up. Or you could drop the call nuke item for an ally to pick up. Or drop your spider gems for an ally.

I don’t see an issue with the dropping of items. But objective stuff, that’s just asking for problems IMO.

its problematic for objectives because you can collect stuff like bhb coins with risky heroes with lots of mobility and potential to steal coins like genji

then he drops them to a fattie like muradin who has practically no risk holding them

i think this proposal brings balance issues

Half of it.

The dropping of non-objective items seems reasonable.

Drop all of your BHB coins in the back of spawn so the enemy can never dream of getting them thus turning it into a doubloon bank that you can collect from whenever.

Could do the same thing with turrets: Hoard like 5 of them in spawn, collect them all and put them all down at once during team fight.

ye, they could just use spawn as a coin bank… put all your collected coins there

then let tank pay them when he feels like it, the collectors now have no risk of losing them to enemy players

for dropping an item like turret on hanamura or volskaya, i see less issues for abuse, since it doesn’t really matter who uses it

It is possible that objective items are a balance issue but non objective should not be. I did see few games where enemy team leaves unpicked turret as a bate :slight_smile: Think about dropping it somewhere to lure enemy. Or give it to someone who can jus use it in a better way.
