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 drop depending on the time on the game clock.
 * Items of a specific type may only drop once for each team. This means the same neutral item may only exist twice per match (once for each team).
 * Drop chance is calculated by pseudo-random distribution, and rolled individually for each team and each tier.
 * 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.
 * After the first drop, the odds of each subsequent drop within that tier is halved.
 * For example, there is a 10% chance of getting the first drop within a tier, followed by 5%, then 2.5%, etc.
