situation 1: a 25 min game, team A has 30k gold, team B 40k. we look at the gold graph and see a 10k advantage for team b. at this stage the total amount of the gold advantage is enough information. but...
situation 2: a 60 min game, team A has 100k gold, team B 110k. we look at the gold graph and see a 10k advantage for team b - but this time its just a 10% advantage and not really significant (compared to the 33% from situation 1).
of course we would be able to look at the total amount of gold for both teams and go from there, but i think a percentage value that tells you how far one team is ahead compared to another one is more intuitive and takes less time to process. especially for casters who dont have that much time and probably dont want to do math while casting.
i dont really know how to best show that percentage, but maybe next to each team's total amount of gold, for example:
team A 110000, +10% ; team B 100000, -9%
the same thing could be done for the experience graph
