I don't think trader is overpowered at all.
When the one team has traders, they'll have one less tank than the other team.
And if the other team have tank more than enemy and still can't take any CP at all or they let enemy's traders runs freely then I think it's their own player problem, not Trader's problem.
Complaning Trader is too overpowered because nobody do anything to stop them is like complaining Exploder too overpowered because nobody buy Teleport Breaker.
If someone unable to beat Tinker because he doesn't buy any Mortar Team let Tinker build up all 5 towers before trying to destroy it instead of trying to destroy it while Tinker only have 1 tower, it doesn't mean that Tinker is overpowered.
If someone just keep buying land mines and enemies just keep running into the mines because they doesn't do anything to detect mines, it doesn't mean that mines are overpowered.
If enemies use only short range weapon and you can't get out of their range while they can get you into their range, it doesn't mean that short range weapon is overpowered.
And vice versa, if enemies use only long range weapon and you can't get enemies into your weapon range at all also doesn't mean that long range weapon is overpowered. ( I've seen some thread about these lately, people keep complaining short/long range is too OP )
So basically if you win with trader because enemies are noob that trying to do anything with trader at all or they're lose because they're not using 5v4 chance to get their advantage, I think it's their own problem.
In case that some people just don't know, best method to took against trader after they have Blink/Invis is not to hunt them down, but to get control of the middle lane. And as I stated before, if it's 5v4 and they still cannot get advantage, it doesn't have anything to do with "Trader overpowered" at all, it's just player's problem.
If the team got advantage when it's 5v4, Trader won't be much to concern because soon Trader will have nowhere to go (Some people may say "I still can trade even if all CPs are belonged to the enemy. Yes, I know, but at that point, your earnings would be even lower than playing normal tank, isn't it? ). But if they need 5 players in order to be able fight against 4 players, that doesn't have anything to do with Trader at all, they'd still owned no matter what the last tank is.
