            Great article, Gorgon.

                Great to have the understanding of this but I don't know if most people at any skill level would really be able to pay a lot of attention to their procs unless it's a solo Lane. I'll add that I'm in the normal skill level so I might very well be wrong.

                        So if you devour a wolf as doom, you'll get true random crit?

                              This is amazing with the earthshaker shadowblade crit build. you walk into the jungle, you get 5 misses on your crit, you search for opponents, go invis with the shadow blade (ofcourse you use enchant totem before you go invis) and you have a much higher chance to perform a critical strike and destroy your opponent.

                                    Good one.

                                    Just one thing that isn't clear enough about the graph of true and pseudo random.
                                    It's the chance to touch your proc in n "hit" right after your just proced.

                                                Does stacking the chances for proc work if you attack something you'll 100% miss? (e.g. Windranger while windrunning)

                                                        You can make a crit on a missed attack, so nope (mb for mjolnir it does work however, i should test it ^^)

                                                          what about ogre magi's ultimate and canceling the animation on the stun. will it increase the odds or are the odds calculated after the stun goes through?

                                                          ᠌D-maister

                                                            Очень интересная статья. Если вкратце, она о том, что можно искусственно получать пассивный эффект (баш, стан, крит) перед гангом или замесом. Для этого можно бить своих крипов, либо отменять атаку несколько раз - тогда следующий удар будет с эффектом. Кол-во ударов зависит от %, который имеет эффект.

                                                            Competetive Pac-Man player

                                                              This changes everything :)

                                                                I dont think the right graph on the top you have there is correct. I work with pseudorandom numbers on a daily basis. Generating pseudorandom numbers is a non-trivial task, and years of dedicated research by mathematicians have produced highly sophisticated algorithms that produce random numbers that are almost indistinguishable from true random numbers. Your average household calculator with a rng function can even give you a good binomial pseudorandom number with a 17% chance of an event happening. The notion that the rng in Dota 2 produces a distribution different from the 'real' one is HIGHLY unlikely (if it does indeed use an RNG at all), and even saying it makes you look stupid and uneducated. I'm sorry but this article is trash.

                                                                nkf

                                                                  I'm trying to understand why in the pseudo random scenario you suggest that after 11 hits of not procing the event (bash, crit, etc) why is there a sharp decline in cumulative odds.

                                                                  marsenal

                                                                    @Ricapica

                                                                      after so many hits (11 for example), you have had so many chances/hits beforehand to proc the event that getting to such a high number without a proc is very unlikely. The graph is simply showing how likely it is for you to proc after each successive attempt (for the first time). It would be extremely unlikely for you to get 15 hits in WITHOUT procing the event, hence why it is such a low possibility.

                                                                                                  @Mandalord That's great. You probably work with monte-carlo simulations then. Perhaps you even use stochastic differential equations in your work (i.e. using ornstein-uhlenbeck processes to model interest rates, etc.) Then you should know that all random numbers generated by computers are 'pseudo-random'. If you knew the seed of the RNG, you can predict exactly what the next random number will be. In an effort to obtain 'true' random numbers, some wall street firms actually use data obtained from movements of particles in the stratosphere, remaining true to how 'Brownian Motion' was discovered. There is no such thing as a 'real' random number generated by a computer. Everything is done algorithmically, in very clever ways and using parameters that have been carefully calibrated. If you are curious, you can look up 'mixed linear congruential generator' or 'multiplicative congruential generator' as these are the popular ones.

                                                                                                  Since you are so smart, please enlighten me: the gist of this article seems to say that for some heroes, the likelihood function is somehow different from a series of independent Bernoulli trials. The only way I can somehow see that this article would be correct, is if the random numbers are somehow correlated (i.e. the independence and identically distributed assumption is violated). Would you say that this is what you had in mind as well?

                                                                                                  Tea?
