In a perfect scenario where you can just choose to get what you need when you want it, sure. But sometimes, you need to defend high ground/go to Rosh/catch a good push timing, and need to finish an item right there to maximize your strength.

Having all your gold spent into items in a close fight can be a big deal. If you've got the most farm in game, but have 3k+ locked up in banked gold because you're waiting for your next item, you might actually be weaker than the enemy carry. And winning the fight there is going to be worth more than the fact that you have to deal with the Sange later.

It's actually the same thing with Vanguard, tbh. People write off the item because they only think of ideal scenarios where they buy what they want, when they want. But in a real game there are situations where you will need to settle for less-than-perfect items just because you have to.

Yeah but 3K banked gold means buyback which means more chance to win the fight than simply finishing SnY I would think (although I guess not if you MUST go high-ground right then and don't have a Kotl/Wisp to bring you back).

I guess its all situational really. SnY is at least really cheap now.

Messer = knife
Schmidt = common german 2nd name.

Probably not funny for me

What are the chances to random the same hero in two consecutive game? Cos I just did with Rubick.
Maybe I should start playing the lottery.

If you know thats in one game.... just square it.

1 / 90^2 = 1/8100, assuming independent events.

You're taking the fact you randomed a hero in the game before as a given situation. It'd only be 1/90~^2 if you were asking what the odds of randoming a specific hero twice are.

It doesn't matter which hero you get in the first game.
If you roll a dice and get a 3 and then roll a second dice, is the chance to roll another 3 1/6 or 1/36?

What are the chances you random a hero twice in a row? 1/90

What are the chances you random exactly Rubick twice in a row? 1/8100

Simple.

Its the same as the chance that I random Clinkz then Batrider in that order (which happened last night). Should I play the lottery?

to roll a 3 is always 1/6 but to roll multiple 3s in a row it's not always 1/6...

Do you think flipping heads over tails 10x in a row is only 50% because head is 1/2?

Haven't taken stats since college but pretty easy to understand, ya?
