Runes

Runes are special boosters that spawn on the game map. They come in two categories. Bounty Runes can be picked up for extra gold, while Power-up Runes grant heroes a variety of buffs and effects for a short period of time.

Spawning

 * Initially at the 0:00 minute mark, all rune spots spawn Bounty Runes, including the rune spots in the river.
 * After this, Bounty Runes spawn every 3rd minute mark (3:00, 6:00, 9:00, etc.) at the dedicated rune spots within the jungles of each team.
 * Bounty Runes never despawn. If they are not picked up before the next ones spawn, the new runes spawn next to the old ones.
 * A may dig up a  as one of its rewards.
 * Water runes spawn at the 2:00 and the 4:00 minute mark at both rune spots in the river. They do not spawn after this anymore.
 * If Water Runes are not picked up before the next runes spawn, they disappear.
 * Other runes
 * All other powerup runes start spawning at the 6:00 minute mark, and then every 2 minutes (8:00, 10:00, 12:00, etc.)
 * They spawn at one of the rune spots within the river, which is randomly chosen.
 * If a Power Rune is not picked up before the next one spawns, it disappears.
 * The same Power-up Rune cannot spawn twice in a row.
 * If a Power Rune is not picked up before the next one spawns, it disappears.
 * The same Power-up Rune cannot spawn twice in a row.

Bottling

 * Runes can be stored inside a.
 * Heroes with a Bottle in their inventory automatically store the rune inside the Bottle when they pick it up.
 * A stored rune can be used later by activating the Bottle.
 * Using a stored rune refills 3 Bottle charges (to full).
 * Runes can be stored in the Bottle for up to minutes, after which they are automatically activated.
 * Stored runes persist through death, but the automatic activation timer does not pause.
 * If the owner is dead when the timer runs out, the rune is destroyed and grants no bonuses.
 * When the Bottle is filled with a rune, picking up a second rune consumes/activates the new rune right away. It does not replace the existing rune in the Bottle.
 * Bottles containing runes cannot be dropped or shared.

Other

 * Power-up Runes are only visible when they are in vision. All runes are visible in spectator mode.
 * When runes spawn in the fog of war, their icons appear on the minimap. These icons will remain until the rune spot is confirmed to be empty.
 * Runes can be destroyed by normal attacks, using a forced attack command.
 * Since runes do not count as units, destroying one does not count as a last hit (or deny).
 * Runes do not interact with abilities, with the exception, which can pull runes, and , which can toss units towards targeted runes.
 * Runes have selection boxes with higher priority over units, meaning that if a unit is standing over a rune, the mouse cursor highlights and selects the rune first.
 * This only applies to actions that can target runes, such as moving or attacking. Actions that cannot target runes still target the unit first.
 * To collect a rune, the hero must be within 150 range of it, but they do not need to be facing the rune to activate it.
