Valve item icon · OpenDota constantsWhen it works
Death occurs before the key spell can be cast and the opponent cannot freely strip the protection first.
Where it breaks
An accidental early trigger gives away a long cooldown window before the real objective.
Replay question
What did you accomplish after the trigger, and could better positioning have preserved it?
Professional purchase window
OpenDota · 7.41eNot one minute, but the middle of an observed sample.
P25 and P75 bound the middle 50% of first purchases. This is professional-match context, not a mandatory target for ranked play.
