Just think about it, under your system if one team gets 15 total kills and the other team gets 0 total kills regardless of distribution they will recieve the same amount of money in total. It's as griffin said a mechanic like this would turn btanks into a boring creepwar and I agree, especially since getting hero kills would be more "stealing money from the rest of your team" then "spontaneously generating money."
There is also one vital difference that you didn't mention beetween being a new player in Dota and being a new player in btanks. In Dota you lose money when you die, in btanks you don't. New players in btanks actually have a chance to spend their own money and ammend their mistakes. On the other hand new players in Dota will be permanently broke (or at least behind) and unable to actually play and experience the game.
I know you lose money when you die in DOTA. That's why I said "to a lesser extent". The first idea I suggested is unlikely to be implemented, but I saw a problem, so I offerred some suggestions to solve it. The point is this: the original poster (and others) recognize that many experienced players are verbally abusive to new players. That's undesirable. It's pretty clear that the bounty system contributes to the problem.
