OK trader is imba, what can we change about it?

[Ayeshia]

Personally I think that instead of hunting down the enemy trader, specializing purchases just for this purpose(getting items like radar and teleport earlier then usual to more efficiently stall the trader early on) - it would seem to me that your time would be better spent going trader yourself instead of building up to destroy theirs. My argument is that it's too uncertain that you'll harass their trader enough to make a difference to their greater income, therefore going trader yourself effectively evens the game out 1:1. (Or even gives your team the bigger advantage if you are a better trader then him.)
