The problem im often musing about is whether to buy a new item/tank now or later. The advantage of buying now is, that one gets more firepower/hp and therefore can kill more creeps and enemy tanks per time unit(gaining more money) and die less often and force the enemy tanks more often to heal(causing them to gain less money).
The disadvantage is that one has a slot for a cheap weapon/armor or invest in a tank, that is only useful for a short time. Thereby one loses some money.
Therefore it depends on the return of investment rate.
Now my question, what return of investment does a basic magic actually provide at least in regard to creeps. Demolisher with one upgraded basic magic and 1361 gold on middle lane. Buy basic magic or wait for swarm rockets?
How much money per second is to be expected from the extra basic magic, assuming that no additional tank kill is generated?
Since in hb the return of investment rate is doubled, in that mode i always buy if it does not require a teleport and often if it does, since it pays very quickly, but im uncertain about normal mode.
