Spending (or losing) gold

Picking a Hero

Picking a hero in any mode will cost you 200 gold, thus leaving each player that picked a hero 625 gold. If you should decide to re-pick it will cost you an extra 100 gold, thus leaving you with only 525 gold to start off with. Should you decide to random (or play All Random), receiving a hero will cost you no gold.

Swapping

Swapping a hero that you randomed costs you 100 gold.

Items

The main purpose of gold is to buy items. The player with the most gold will be able to buy the most items and will therefore (usually) have the strongest hero. What items each player buys depends on his hero role.

Dying

Every time you die you lose 30×(Level of your Hero) unreliable gold; the only way to reduce this amount is with a Bloodstone (you'll lose 25 gold less for every Bloodstone charge). Dying cannot take away reliable gold.

Buying Back

While your hero is dead, you have the option of "buying back" and respawning instantly in exchange for a fee:

100 + (Level²×1.5) + (GameTime×15), rounded down to a multiplier of 50.

This will take away from your reliable gold pool first. Buyback has a cooldown of 6 minutes.
After buying back, 25% of your hero's remaining respawn time will be added to your next death. Additionally, heroes are unable to gain unreliable gold until their normal respawn time finishes. The gold icon on the HUD will flash red when this time finishes.

Abandoning the Game

After being disconnected from the game for more then 5 minutes, all of your gold is equally redivided between your team players, including the (1.67 gold/sec) passive bonus gold gain. The passive bonus gold gain is restored once you reconnect to the game, but the rest of the gold is not (including the gold missed from the passive gold gain).
