If the number is 98 then 98x98 = 9604. Whatevers. The point is, you have a 1/98 chance of "doubles" aka rolling the same hero twice in a row (similar to "doubles" in monopoly) and a 1/9604 chance of specific doubles aka rolling exactly rubick twice in a row (similar to "snake eyes" in monopoly being 6 times rarer than mere "doubles"). I reference monopoly because the act of rolling 2 dice is very similar to randoming twice. | ||

In wc3 dota, the fountain was killable by using ursa w/ vlads, vangaurd, and heart. CM could also freeze the fountain indefinately, and sniper could outrange it, and kill it if you stacked him with enough DR's. Me and my buddies are still waiting out our year long dotacash (lol) bans for repeatedly killing the fountain. Killing the fountain was possibly one of our most fun daily activities. Petition valve to include this high level troll back into the game! | ||

It's so bad now.  EDIT: the only redeeming factor is for heroes that will get Vlad's. But it still not great overall anymore. | ||

Petition valve to include this high level troll back into the game! Max level Forge Spirits also outrange it. With an AC and alacrity, you can also kill it in a reasonable time. Also, a stacked melee hero + vlads + Skele King kills it. I don't know why it's not in. It doesn't come into play 99.99% of matches, but it's fun if you can do it. | ||

Yeah its maybe 1/100 games but those games would be REALLY REALLY OUTSTANDINGLY UNFUN and people who left would just get an abandon. Plus teams losing that bad often hate their teammates so... the "all leave at once" plan wouldn't work. | ||

Nowadays, the best way to hide is within the trees around the map | ||

But since there's no need for the circles of power anymore, Valve just sort of took out all the space behind the fountain. Plus you could "Lock" your hero. | ||
