Neutral Items

Neutral items are items dropped by neutral creeps. They cannot be purchased or sold at shops, but are fully shareable.

Drop mechanics

 * Drops begin after 5 minutes into the game.
 * Neutral items come in 5 tiers. Items from each tier start dropping based on the time on the game clock.
 * Drop chance is calculated by pseudo-random distribution, and rolled individually for each team and each tier. Higher tiered items are rolled first.
 * Drop chance is only rolled when there is a hero within radius of the killed creep.
 * A neutral creep loses its ability to drop an item when it gets taken over by a player. It must belong to the neutral team to drop items.
 * The same item may only drop once for each team.
 * A maximum of three items per tier can drop for each team.
 * Items within a single tier have a diminishing chance of dropping.
 * First drop: 9% chance
 * Second drop: 6% chance
 * Third drop: 3% chance
