right now the -stats is screwed up for player red since he's getting credit for a lot of creep kills which aren't his. but if you play as any other player i think you can type -stats and then -stats x to check your progress with other players. if i'm not playing as red I use -stats to know if my enemies might be saving up for a tank that could crush me in an instant especially with teleport. Even then i've found it useful to just get a teleport breaker and keep saving for a teleport breaker which is a lot cheaper than a hull in some instances requiring just 3 minutes of farming more to get what i want.
there are a lot of things to consider. if you're extra early investment on dps not just gets you extra creep kills and tank kills but also wether or not it'll force enemies to sacrifice their own creep and tank kills to defend against you. for instance, if you force them to chase you around the map or to cp tp to your lane then they're loosing gold and it's allowing your teamates to farm more easily by relieving pressure off of them. it's 150 gold round trip for a cp tp's so if i can't take a cp then i try to get 3 or more enemies to come to my side lane without dying. If it's early on in the game and my bounty is still less than 300 gold even if 4 or 5 come and i do die i still consider it to be a small advantage for my team or at least not an advantage gain for them.

Why's the rothchild family crest and the illuminati symbol on my 1 dollar bill? Why do rich and powerful American "christian" leaders have gay sex and worship a giant 40 foot stone owl at Beach Grove every year? Why doesn't anyone care?
