That just wrong. The idea that "all should get the same" is a terrible mindset. Players can fulfill different roles to win the game as a team. Also consider the following:
1. It can be very beneficial if the gold/xp is unequally distributed. For example: Being the first heavy tank in the game or getting an early hunter while opponents are still low hp is a huge advantage. Or being the first level 10/13 in the game can net your team easily some additional kills that even distribution would never have.
2. The aim is always to get as a team more gold in total than the opponent team gets. Sometimes that goal is accomplished by outcreeping the opponent's. That has nothing to do with ego whatsoever. If you can get a gold advantage by playing 2-2-1 with creep weapons in mid you should do so.
You are stuck in your solo-player mindset and believe everyone is.
(And of course, people should discuss tactics way more. They should also be way more open to unfamiliar strategy and adept to other players. That is not what we are talking about.)
