General DiscussionWhy drop Stout instead of selling it?

It gives your supports something to do to make them think they're supporting, they can pick up the shield and drop it in base, and put it in your stash for you so you can sell it. It's a "bonding" thing. Also, if enemy team has invis heroes, delaying the courier is basically feeding the courier.
Alternately, Techies can use Stout Shields against bad players who compulsively attack random stout shields if they are melee. Could be good for a laugh.

I guess there could be a small group of people who are just lazy, or so pro that interacting with stout shield for 125 gold would actively cost them gold.
